Black Dog Sunday

Our dogs teach us to treasure each day just with their wide-eyed delight in every little thing.

Each time I find a quiet spot in the forest with R, I feel gratitude for his sweet and happy spirit. In my head, I hear a very faint "tick-tock, tick-tock". I push it away to enjoy this day with our Black Dog.
Happy Black Dog Sunday.

  16. I know about that ticking that you hear. It's hard to sometime ignore, it's reality, but remembering to enjoy each day is something I have to remember to do too.

  17. Never listen to the tic toc. It takes away from enjoying the day

  20. It's tough not to think of our dogs that way as they grow older; but it does help to remind us to make the most of every single day. ♥
