Hope

How could a day that started so beautifully ending feeling so rough?
K isn't giving up on life - she's enjoying every moment despite the grim prognoses that I can't seem to avoid hearing. She makes me smile when she wriggles with joy during our time together out in nature.
She is as strong as the wind that has been blowing through our world for the past few days. Can you see the wind buffeting her fur in this photo? She stood strong and happy despite the gales of wind.
As long as K is happy, I'll hold onto my hope.

  1. Oh my, she brings such a smile to my face, especially in that second shot.

    Oh to make the most of this life. We can all learn so much from her.

  3. Yes hope is a powerful thing. But what does hope mean?

    Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay. Hope is gentle breeze on a bright day.

    Hope is to remain positive when going gets tough. Hope is seeking more when others think you had enough.

    Hope is dreaming of tommorow. Hope is simmering under sorrow.

    Hope is sparkles when tears in our eyes. Hope is a beautiful thing & beutiful things never dies.

    Hope is as light as a feather. Hope will keep you together.

    Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
    hope is the last thing ever lost.
    Blessings,
    Goose

  7. She looks like she's having a most wonderful time. Mom sends hugs, it's hard on her when we are just a little sick.

    Good that you can take your queues from her.

    Wags!

  9. I see K enjoying the wind that blows her fur. She takes in the deep breaths of the crisp cold air.
    She is loving each day.

  10. If each one of us could capture even a few moments of the joy that makes K who she is, our lives would be so much the richer.

  13. She is beautiful - hope is a mainstay in our lives. I too am holding onto hope for K and all dogs dealing with this horrible 'C' word. My true hope is that one day there will be a cure!

    Hugs to you and K :):)

  17. WE were catching up on some of your past posts. Gorgeous pictures of K and R and the world around. You are doing such a good balancing act. VERY hard but you are doing the best for her and you. Enjoying the good times. Giving her some freedom. Dogs do live in the moment - a good lesson for all of us. Love the pic with her balancing all the treats. Such patience!! Thank you for sharing!

  19. Hi Y'all,

    Part of the problem in today's world is that it moves so fast that no one takes time to "smell the roses".

    In the "olden days", when families worked hard all day, they gathered together at meal time and the evenings to talk and share special moments of their day. Neighbors stopped to "sit a spell", or if it was meal time, an extra place was always set.

    In the "olden days" it was truly a slower time, less stressful time, and I'd wager, a happier time. Our dogs work hard to pull us back, if for only a second, into "those days".

  20. I hope and pray whatever is happening that has daunted your spirit will not be life-changing, and I hope you are able to continue enjoying K's enthusiasm and energy.

    This is a difficult time for the bipeds but as far as K goes, she doesn't understand the reports, x-rays or the diagnosis...or if she does, she's not going to let it get her way of beautiful days and time with you. If only we could be blessed with their "verve" in the face of difficult news. Hugs to you all.
