Happy Birthday

One year ago today, a little puppy was born who we had no idea would become a treasured part of our family. Her name is Shyla, and we adore her.

She's her own girl - a new soul with a fresh and naive spirit that she has infused into our family. I am so grateful that I know her.

Happy Birthday little girl. I love your eyes, your heart, your courage, your spirit, your happiness, and your snuggles.
Today, while sitting on K's boulder early in the morning, I asked Shyla if she knew what "forever" meant. Her soulful eyes told me the answer.

As we sat quietly, a Bald Eagle soared over us and circled once. He was so graceful and majestic. I wondered if he held a message for us on Shyla's first birthday.

Shyla had x-rays of her leg today. Our family vet was cautiously optimistic but she wanted a board-certified radiologist to check them out before we reach any conclusions. We should hear the expert opinion within a couple of days.

    I can tell you the Eagle was a sign most definitely, that you are going to be one healthy, happy girl for lots and lots of years to come.

    Your Mom took a beautiful picture of you to mark this day!
