Thankful Thought | No.7

Today I'm thankful for Lily. I'm thankful that she's still with us. She's my companion and pal and somehow tends to be healthier than ever (besides not really being able to chase the ball as much as she'd like). The other day I caught this shot of her while I was sitting at my desk. The fresh air was coming in the open window and she was checking things out for a few minutes before she laid down for one of her many daily naps. She's the best.

UPDATE : I returned safe and sound last night from my adventures in Tuscany and Rome so really what I'm most thankful for right now is being home safe and sound with my family. Photos and words to come in the next couple of days.

    What a sweet baby. I am so glad to see Lily! I have thought about her often after her spell this past summer. I just love the companionship of a dog, there is absolutely nothing like it. Thanks for sharing Lily with us!

    We just got a new black labradoodle puppy and her name is Lily also. My eleven year old daughter named her after a character in a favorite book she read. I never had a dog before and wasn't prepared for all of the work of puppydom! I anxiously await when our Lily will sit and look out the window!

    I understand completely the feeling you had when you saw her like that. When my previous sweethaert was growing old, I could enjoy it so much seeing her enjoying the simple things. Even when she became really old, and couldn't even make her daily tour in the neighbourhood, she could be so happy with a little ray of sun, a nice day,...
    Do profite these moments, they're passing so quick....

    Welcome Home! What a nice thought to be "home" after a long trip.

    I happened to open this page of Lily and my husband looked over from his computer and said, "Love that picture!" As a dog lover he appreciate's candid dog photo's.

    I'm extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one today..
