This innocence and complete optimism makes him expect a lot out of life. For example, I take him for an extra outing by himself some days. Ever since I started doing that, he seems to expect it every single day. So, I feel guilty when I must say "no, not today" on occasion. He forgives me in seconds.
His attitude toward life is a wonderful injection of optimism and joy to my life. Life isn't easy, as you all know. Twenty minutes in the meadow with R can bring a smile to my face no matter what!

ReplyDeleteUnconditional love and joy is the best balm! YAM xx
You are truly a gem, R, and you look so handsome posing in the beautiful purple wildflowers!
ReplyDeleteHe is such an amazing boy - a testimony to the nurturing he has had (and a little to his temperament).
ReplyDeleteThose pictures of R made us smile today too. He sure is a happy boy.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he has a big smile on his face! Happy boy.
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoy seeing the happy and handsome R!

R...you are such an inspiration...your water bowl is always FULL right (no 1/2 fulls in your life). You have a very contagious smile and happiness about you.
ReplyDeleteI can 100% tell you should I see you coming toward me, my 'tail' would be wagging and I'd have a great big lets be friends look on my face too. I want to meet every single K9 I see but I must remind myself 'they don't know me'. So I always start a conversation with their humans and before I know it the K9 is pushing my hand toward his noggin.

oh what a love he is! XO
ReplyDeleteI don't even have to be out with him. That wonderful guy gives me an uplift every Sunday, just seeing his photographs and reading about him. We all need to try to pattern ourselves after the lovely black dog. He's been through so much and still maintains that happy hopeful attitude.
ReplyDeleteHe is truly a 'heart' dog. I've had dogs in the past with personalities like his, such treasures when here and in memories.
ReplyDeleteHe is such a special boy!!! And he always looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of positive presence everyone needs. Please Give R some loving from us.
ReplyDeleteThe happy smile on his face could melt frozen butter.
ReplyDeleteSo much goodness wrapped up in Handsome R

I know what it means to have that one-on-one time with just you and a dog. It reinforces that bond, and makes for some wonderful memories and a fun day too! R really is one handsome boy -- I can't help but smile at his photos!!

Dogs in general have the best outlook on life. Gotta love their 'live in the moment' approach to life. I wish I could be more like that.
ReplyDeleteI just love this dog!
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of our golden Sheba in that way...she used to be so disappointed if someone walked by us and didn't pay attention to her! :)
