Snowy Day in Colorado
A snowy day in Colorado...
It's also very cold, with my thermometer reading 6°F when I started my snowbike ride with Shyla. It wasn't much warmer when we finished.
Shyla doesn't let anything get in the way of her joy.
I, on the other hand, have had a dark day with lots of pain. Perhaps tomorrow will be sunnier, both inside and out - like yesterday was.
R is such an amazing example of why dogs are great role models for me. He's almost always enthusiastic and joyful, even as he's recovering from a painful surgery. I strive for a spirit like his.

Pain that surges without being invited, relentless, makes for a grey day, but Shyla and her antics and R with his incredible spirit, will be with you through this, and will keep you warm, inside and out!!! Cheers from Jean
ReplyDeleteLovely Shyla in the beautiful snow. Here's hoping for a sunny tomorrow. Inside and outside.
ReplyDeleteWe all strive for a spirit like our dog's! Otto WILL NOT let me spend too long working at the commuter. After 5 hours or so, he'll come into my office and just start being naughty -- not bad, just naughty. He'll pick up a piece of paper and take it out into the hall, he'll pull stuffing out of an old dog bed...it's time for me to knock off for a while!!
ReplyDeleteWere hoping that tomorrow is a better day for you also! You try so hard to look for the positive in everything,, you try to live your life to the fullest- you do not deserve pain. R- we love his attitude- nothing gets him down,, and Shyla- pure joy!

The photos showing Shyla's gorgeous chocolate colour against the pure white of the snow are just glorious!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better today. Pain really sucks the life out of you. You need to come to the desert were it's warm. It's taken all my aches and pains away.
ReplyDeleteOUR mom says we are her best teachers.

I hear doggie snuggles are the best cure for ANY kind of pain. I know you're getting lots of medicine.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. Where are your boots Shyla

That second picture with Shyla standing against the snowy trees is beyond gorgeous! Could almost make me love winter!

Hope your pain alleviates!

I know that I always have more pain when the day is grey and gloomy. There's something about sunshine that instantly makes me feel better. I'm sorry you're experiencing the same thing -- but clearly you don't deprive Shyla of even a moment of joy out in the snow, which is pretty fantastic of you! She looks just stunning against all that white.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon. Wonderful photos as always. Kathy
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are having so much pain. We will keep you in our thoughts. It is a blessing to have Shyla and R . Pictures are great ..it sure does look cold but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteErnie and the furkid crew and Barb
Two beautiful, joyful dogs. I hope you get to feeling better.
ReplyDeleteR is a real family fellow !
ReplyDeletePlease take care of yourself KB ~~~ your spirit has touched us all and with that we pass it on to others. The world is one!
ReplyDeleteRon
Best wishes for both you and R. It's difficult to find reasons to smile when you receive bad news, but you've got the Duo and the Runner, and a beautiful place in the world, along with a great attitude of trying to make the best of everything.
