Shyla Saturday

Shyla and I had such a beautiful morning out in fresh snow a couple of days ago. We were out very early, just as the sunlight was touching our spot in the mountains. The forest was still dark but the open areas were bright. The white snow was fresh and powdery.


We were at our old place so we visited some familiar spots. This was a spot where Shyla often raced our Black Dog. It reminded me of how pleasantly surprised I've been that Shyla was ready to be the eldest dog in our pack. I feared that she might crumble when she lost her big brother but she did not. That doesn't minimize how much we all miss him. However, I am glad that Shyla has zoomed onward on her own. She is a reminder of how far a dog can come when they are given the time and space to grow.

Shyla makes every day brighter for the rest of us. I hope that we do the same for her. 

Happy Shyla Saturday.

  6. No need to hope for Shyla, it's so clear that with all that you have given her, love most of all and most important, she is thriving. She looks so happy and full of life. I too miss Black Dog. Some dogs touch your heart and he did mine.

  10. I think it's everything you have done for her that enabled her to become stronger and to be able to get through the loss of her brother. ♥

  11. I've read through the comments and thought, "I could have written each one of them, they all reflect how I feel." And yes, I too think that Hachi has helped to give Shyla new purpose in life.
