Black Dog Sunday

Throughout his life, our Black Dog has been a big hearted and affectionate dog. That was so important when terrified Shyla joined our family. She was so fearful, and the adjustment to a new home wasn't easy for her.

Just a few months after she joined us, I found our Duo in a sun puddle together. They looked warm and content. I took out the camera to capture the heart-warming scene as they lay together. Unexpectedly, R started sniffing Shyla's nose. She looked surprised!

Then, he kissed her, and she kissed him back.

After all that loving stuff, he asked her to play. She agreed after she realized that he meant no harm with his paw.
As I gazed at those photos, I was so filled with love for R and gratitude for him. I am so glad that we get to have more time with him.

He has the most happy heart of anyone who I know.
Happy Black Dog Sunday.
