The Healing Power of Dogs

A long day today... the Runner and I went on an odyssey to find some help for my migraines. Despite that, I managed to get out with sweet Shyla this morning. I sometimes wonder how I would manage to get through the tough times without dogs who need me to go out and have fun with them. Because of them, no matter what, I spend some sweet time in our forest each day.

This morning, Shyla played on the boulders, towering over me. I love seeing her standing so tall and confident.
I'm hopeful that we made a step in the right direction today but only time will tell. In any case, I am lucky to have this girl in my life.
My little family makes me very happy.
Now, it's rest time so I stand a chance of keeping the migraines at bay today. Happy Thursday to all of you!

    I spend way more time outside because I know my dogs enjoy it. I enjoy it as well, but I have a sneaking suspicion I would be a lot more likely to be lazy without my dog buddies egging me on. When I got home from work tonight, we went for an hour long walk! What a great way to burn off the day's stress!

    I truly hope that some new treatment, knowledge, or magic will keep all migraines so far away. Love those photos, a very wonderful family to give you hope and love when you are out in the snow, on the rocks, or resting at home. Hugs, Jean.

    You sound like me! The other day, I said "I don't know how people who don't have dogs ever get better" and I really believe it. Here's hoping that your step today was the first in the right direction for you!

    Lovely pics of the Duo and maybe when spring actually comes, (we started the day off with fresh snow!), your migraines will be gone!

    Cheers and hugs,

    I'm really hoping for you to be migraine-free all weekend. I've said it before but I'll say it again: you're a very courageous person in the face of a lot of physical adversity. In spite of all you share the beauty around you with us.

    Praying that help was found, my friend. One step at a time & persevere! If this answer does not suit, then go after another... because there IS an answer to these migraines of yours. It IS out there... but I'm praying you've already found it.

    Gentle ((((((hugs)))))) to all of you today.

    PS~ KB, I know you're making good progress with your shoulder & all that but have you ever thought of stopping therapy for just a day or two? I still think this is associated with your surgery somehow. You know, the musculo-skeletal disruption. I know you're doing well & that therapy is always the answer to a good recovery but... well... maybe it's worth a try. Just a thought. ((((((())))))

    I'm currently laid up with an injured knee (again) and it's my cats who are nursing me! Poor Tommy gets the short end as his walks are almost non-existent.
