Thankful Thursday - Shyla is Back!

I saw glimpses of Shyla's usual sparkle in her eyes early in the week. At that time, I had no idea how rapidly she would return to about 95% of her usual self. Now, she's been seeking affection almost all the time, and plays like her usual self. She brings me toys and insists on games of tug (even when I'm talking on the phone!). She is definitely back!!!!
Shyla is also back as my mountain biking partner. She's still much faster than I am. I can tell how happy she is to be back by my side. I am over the moon with happiness.

We rode out into 6" of very wet snow this morning. It was stuck to aspen branches, forming lattices above us.

It was tougher to find snow still stuck to aspen branches in the sunshine. The snow fell off within minutes of the sun hitting it. But I found one beauty!

After gazing at the beautiful snow art, I turned my full attention to how happy I was to have Shyla with me again. It reiterated the lesson that I should never take anything for granted.

We did a small loop, and it was clear that Shyla wanted to run further! Yipee! We headed up higher. Shyla was out in front wondering why I was stopping for photos yet again!

Clouds moved in near the end of our ride, making the western horizon look ominous. But Shyla was still happy!

I am so thankful that Shyla is feeling better again. It felt like she was "absent" for a couple of weeks. Being able to go out and enjoy nature with her made me even more thankful.
Thank you to our friend Brian for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

    I am so glad Shyla is "herself" and that you held on and were patient despite your totally valid worries. I know it was very hard on you! I'm sharing (long-distance) in the spirit of celebration and gratitude, and here's to a GRAND DAY :)

    Thankful is not quite enough to say How happy and delighted I am to know Shyla has come back from wherever she was in her mind.If only they could talk, but eyes, tail and expressions say so much. How thankful can we both be for this week's happenings. Hugs.XXX Beautiful final 2 photos, a girl bounding with happiness and joy, and the snow fall that will give moisture.
