Shyla makes me smile every day. We are out in the inky darkness before sunrise to catch the beautiful colors as the sun peeks over the eastern horizon. It's been very cold recently at dawn but Shyla enthusiastically poses for me.
My left wrist is feeling better every day so we can ride to our favorite spot. That will continue until Tuesday, when I get surgery on my right wrist. Then, I'll start the healing process again.
I still cannot do snow activities that might hurt my wrist so Shyla has been romping with the Runner and Hachi a lot. She is an amazing dog. She started out so timid but now she is the instigator when wrestling with her brother. Over time, I've learned more about the situation that Shyla was born into, and it was very unstable and scary. I'm glad that she was resilient enough to leave it behind and now live her best life.
Tomorrow is Sunday, which is traditionally Black Dog Sunday. I am so sorry to say that, since my father's death, I have not found that my heart can handle writing Black Dog Sunday posts. For now, I'm going to pause those posts, even though the memories of him that flit through my mind during an average day do make me smile. They always will.

ReplyDeleteKB Shyla and Hachi's snow 'dance' made me smile. Both your pups are the perfect example of what TLC can accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy your left wrist is better each day.
Take care of yourself.

Shyla is such a pretty sweetheart. I hope your right wrist heals quickly too.
ReplyDeletethis is good news your wrist is better and you can get out with Shyla. I love this huggy photo. we all understand the pain of loss, hugs and prayers for your heart to heal, but that will take a lot of time
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of Shyla and Hachi wrestling! Good luck with your right wrist surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteTime will temper the pain of your loss and both Black Dog and your Dad will remain in your heart forever.
Shyla always looks beautiful in the early morning sun. We have our paws crossed that your next surgery goes well and that you heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteBlack Dog Sunday memories and your Dad, all too soon , but the healing is going ahead for your left wrist, and soon the right one too, hoping with all my heart that the next surgery is successful, and soon you will be out there again with both Shyla and Hachi.Meantime, let Runner hold the ropes, literally outdoors and indoors too, Hugh was told no repetitive movements for at least 6 weeks,after surgery on one wrist , this included using a broom, sweeping, wiping anything a lot, he tried so hard to not do any of that.Hope you can let all those things go for the meantime too.XX
ReplyDeletebe kind to yourself! and give all of it Time. XO
ReplyDeleteSending digital warm thoughts of comfort for your heart and healing energy for your wrists.
