Thankful Thursday

Harley has to be one of the most fun loving, happy go lucky puppies I've ever met! When Z brought this little girl home, I wanted to be mad at him, but I knew, he knew, everyone knew that Momma would love her. I have a weak spot with puppies....but puppies become dogs and then someday those dogs have to get sick and well...die....and then I don't do so good. Really bad actually when that happens....really sad...heart broken. We have a "animal cemetery" on our property and Papa and I keep saying that we can't take any more "animal funerals."
Well, Harley came anyway, and we bonded. I'm her #1 fan and she loves me dearly. Dogs are like that...they love you unconditionally...they are always happy to see you....they don't hold grudges even if you neglect them a day...they are grateful for any attention....they listen and don't talk back. Why can't people be like that? Hummmmmm.... Nothing makes Harley happier than when I get home from work and let her out of her pen to run like a crazy dog around and around in huge circles. And this dog is so obedient and minds so good. Z has trained her well...she's a bird dog so she was trained young. I'm very thankful for her .... She and I have a lot of good talks. She lets me vent when I need to and can really make me have a "feel good" day.


How can you not love this little face?
She looked at me with these eyes when she came to see if she could live here and I couldn't turn her away.





These are now the eyes that look at me everyday when I say, "Sit" "Stay" "Fetch" or "What should I fix for supper?" "Your breath is horrendous."




Unconditional pure love....that's what she gives me!!!

I love you Harley and thanks !!!!! :)
