Happy Labraduo Friday

I had a couple days with both halves of the Labraduo joining me on morning outings. It was a good distraction from the spine problem that's causing me so much pain.

The two of them together make me laugh so much - like how "tough" they look in the next photo. Neither of them has a "tough" bone in their body but they can scare people when they look like this!
Unfortunately, despite canceling a trip to the desert (which made me very sad because I love the desert), I don't seem to be getting better. It's been 10 days of living with the feeling that there's a knife in my back that sends pain radiating out from it. I'm so glad I had the Duo with me for the past couple of days or I would've been morose.
This guy, in particular, makes me laugh so much. Look closely at his facial expression. I wonder what he was thinking? He was looking at me so intensely, perhaps trying to will me to give him a treat.
There have been a number of times in my life when I've felt that our dogs have helped me get through medical problems that could have made me depressed. In particular, after surgeries or during a prolonged periods of intense pain, they are the best medicine in the world for keeping my spirits up.
I'm sure that many of you feel the same way. Dogs are good for the soul!
Happy Friday. I'm hoping for a better week next week!

    Dogs do ease our pain. I get a couple of shots a month that eases my pain too. Hope the doctors have a plan for you

    We bet they are wishing they could help make you feel better.

    They are both just so beautiful. And so attentive to you - no wonder they bring you such joy.

    I wish there was a way I could take away your pain. You bring so much joy in your posts and blog.
    The pictures of R make me happy, he has always been a favorite of mine. Shyla is certainly beautiful, but there's something about R. I think it's his eyes, that's how I ended up with Maizie....I could not get past her eyes.
    I hope you feel better soon and are able to enjoy this weather .

    I'm sorry to hear your pain is stopping you from doing something you love. And hate that this happens to you. Thank goodness for dogs who somehow keep us from falling too deeply into pain or sadness. Sending good thoughts your way and as always.
