my GRRRRRLS



Rebel - what a sweetheart you are. Most of the time. You have really tried my patience this week. Why do you insist on climbing the fence when I've told you a million times NO NO NO?? Still, when you come home, you give me those sweet "I'm sorry mommy, I won't do it again (until next time)" eyes, and I melt.
My dogs, Chevy, Lacey, and Rebel (who's actually my son's dog) without a doubt are my "bestest" friends. When I'm happy, they know extra doggie treats are coming. When I'm angry, they know to steer clear of Mama until things settle down. And when things settle down, they are there - with their unconditional love. When I'm sad, they know it before anyone else does, and there is always a head in my lap, a kiss on my cheek to wipe the tears, or simply a warm puppy to cuddle with.
to my girls: thanks for those floppy, always alert, and always attentive EARs.

A beautiful post. I have known you to be an animal lover since I was a little girl. Now that I'm 32, I see nothing has changed. It takes a different heart to love a creature and admire that love.
