Thankful Thursday - For You

Today, I am thankful for all of you and for your kind comments. We will find our way through this, and you have no idea how much your thoughtful input means.

By way of thanks, here are a few images from a snowy snowy week.

Whenever it is storming, I notice the beautiful orange bark of our Ponderosa Pines as I ride through the forest. These pines are like beacons in the forest on otherwise monochrome days.

Every snowy day is followed by incredible beauty. This morning was one of the prettiest of the year.

A bluebird sky tops off the beauty when we are lucky.

On "powder days", Shyla adores playing in the snow. She makes me smile no matter what.
This is going to be a very hard phase for Shyla. More than anyone, she'll need extra love and attention because R is her absolute best friend. Perhaps she has become even stronger than we think. I hope so.

I cannot say "thanks" too many times because you all make such a difference with your support.

I am linking to Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

  7. Lovely picturees. I must admit that in my concern for R I had totally forgotten what his illness might mean to sweet Shyla. I do hope she manages the episode well. I'll be thinking of all of you during this difficult time and hoping for the best outcome possible.

  10. The photos are gorgeous. When the sun is shining I do like seeing the snow. It's when it's overcast and the snow is gray and dirty I get a little depressed.

    I'm glad you have Shyla and Hachi, and hopefully they both transition well when it is time. I do that time is some ways away yet. Take care!

  11. The contrast of the bark on the trees with the snow in the first picture blows me away.

    My heart goes out to you all. We all love that beautiful black boy.

  12. Gorgeous scenery. That's when snow is best--before it melts and there's slush. Had to chuckle at Shyla covered in snow. So cute.

  21. All that snow is so beautiful! Moms Kuvasz Katie and our sister Emma were besties for the ten years before Katie passed away. They lived in Germany, moved to the US, went through a lot with life and Mom. Losing Katie changed Emma. She was never close to any other dog. Hopefully Shyla will deal better with R and the issues he is having.
