Two Different Dog, One BIG Lesson

Friday, 24 December, 2010

We could all take a lesson from Zoey and her sister: Allowing negative things in our pasts to keep us down is not productive. It doesn’t make us happier, healthier, or more prosperous. Letting those things go and living in the moment like Zoey’s sister allows us to accept whatever love and happiness comes our way, leading to a more fulfilling, less stressful life. Let’s face it, both good and bad things happen in life. If we can dwell on the good things, we would all be much happier.

Olive Update

Saturday, 30 October, 2010

Olive is a very sweet girl who is proving a bit of a challenge…to photograph! This little wiggle-butt never stops moving, except when she is sleeping (which is most of the time when she’s not moving and is certainly not very interesting to photograph). Yesterday was Olive’s first time on a real hike after spending [...]

…And, She’s Back!

Wednesday, 27 October, 2010

Well, I’ve got to give them credit for trying a second time. My friends, who had Olive shipped here from NE to be their new dog, felt so bad about Olive not working out that we had another play date with them. I wasn’t convinced it was a match made in heaven, as Olive really [...]
