do you have dogs? do you love dogs? do you know what this is a picture of?
That is the door between the kitchen and the rest of the house....installed because the new pup is not housebroken yet and she LOVES the kitchen tiles. We do NOT love her using them that way, so we build a door. About 2.5 feet tall, with nice hinges and a latch. There is a gap at the bottom just big enough for Rosie (the skinny cat) to go under, but small enough that Sage (the NOT so skinny cat) has to struggle a bit. When we first put the door up, Annie would stand up on it and you could see her from the neck up. Now it's like from her underarms! She is growing fast!
but back to this picture...
we are in the bedroom watching TV and I come out to get dessert and this is what I see.
That is Annie on your right, with her nose right up to the tiles...and on your left? one of her myriad of stuffed toys, keeping her company on her lonely vigil.
If you don't love dogs, this forlorn look should change that at a glance, if you DO love dogs I might have to hide so you don't get me for making her look like that!!!

Another day of messed up phones and lots of talking. But, we had some really great laughs towards the end of the day reading our "Strength finder" results - bet you didn't know that I am first and foremost, a Relator! I know it's cheating, but I'm just gonna paste this result in here and you can let me know how accurate it is.
Relator

Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you are comfortable being open and honest about who you are. Often you intentionally avoid people who are less than truthful. You prefer to spend time with individuals who speak as candidly as you do about their strengths, shortcomings, hopes, disappointments, failures, or successes. By nature, you might make certain types of difficult-to-understand ideas a little bit easier for people to comprehend. Driven by your talents, you might help people grasp elaborate or complicated ideas, processes, theories, or rules. Maybe you intentionally use easy-to-understand words and phrases. Chances are good that you thoughtfully select your friends. You avoid rushing into relationships. Once you trust and care about someone, the individual probably seeks your counsel. Because of your strengths, you are a well-read individual. People whom you have befriended turn to you for guidance. Often you help them see a situation or problem from a different perspective because of something you discovered while surveying a book, article, letter, or Internet site. For you, reading is the key that opens the door to a world of fresh ideas. You collect them, never knowing when something you read will benefit someone else.

Happy Birthday Mom
Did you know..(and this is my opinion, so take it for what it is worth)...that when someone we love dies, they take a part of our soul with them as they leave? I really believe that is true...and did you know...(again, my opinion)...that each little part we lose leaves a place to be filled with loving memories and moments of joy.
Interesting way of thinking about it, isn't it? Yes there is the pain and there is the missing them and there is the desire to keep things the way they were and there is the (and this is the hardest for me for some reason) the inability to hug.....
All this just to say "Happy Birthday Mom, I still miss you and love you and fill my heart with your songs when I think of you....thank you for teaching me just how important love is"

Annie's first play date
Ava invited Annie over for a puppy play date. We were concerned, Annie is a 'scary' dog. Most everything scares her. And she hasn't done great with other people either. But it was time to start getting her past all that and Ava needed the company of a younger more energetic dog, so we accepted. Boy are we glad we did.
Started off a little rocky, Annie was scared and defensive...there were actually three dogs, two older dogs there as well. All quite friendly - and slightly overwhelming for her.
But, with patience and persistence they worked it out and had an awesome time. Us humans did too. It was an extremely pleasant afternoon and the kids had fun.
Thank you Pam and Wayne for the great time. We will do this again.
