My Doggies

The one joy that I often forget to mention is my sweet puppies. They are such delightful pups that are just adorable.

I think the reason I sometimes forget to "gush" over them is because that is one of the things that I absolutely adore about them. When they capture my attention during a day, they do it in such a non-selfish way. It is like even playing chase or tug-a-war is meant more for my satisfaction than their own.

Brownie, my cocker spaniel, loves to play. She is full of energy. When she gathers from my mood that she can play - she does. However, the best thing about her is when I am sad, down, moody or just tired she uses as much energy just to flop down beside me on the couch and cuddles. She doesn't demand to be petted or demand attention in any way. She just patiently and lovingly sits and waits with me. She gives me the "It's okay Mom" kinda love that just warms my heart.

Tink, our English Bulldog, is a little less energetic. She is more likely going read my mood and decide if I need a "bath" or if I need just her to lay at my feet. When she sees me move, she just looks at me with a look of "Are you okay?" or "If I could do something, I would" kinda puppy look.

I have had pets before but Tink and Brownie are just a special part of the family. Both of the are just loving, caring and sweet. Besides that - they are just fun!

Oh and I forgot to mention how much I just love to watch Kaleb play with them. He just loves them so much and they "get him" like no others.

Thanks pups for never requiring anything and giving everything to make any day a better day!
