On Saturday we got another dog. I fought with myself over this decision for well over a year. Why would I want yet another body to take care of? I'm a care taker by nature, by role, by circumstance, by chance. It's what I do. And do well, I might add. But do I need another responsibility? One more to feed? One more to take potty? One more to keep safe? Against my better judgement I have to answer yes to all of these. It goes against logic but not against the joy that a happy carefree being brings into my life. Was this one sent by life and chosen by me to help me understand something about attitude and perspective? I worry a lot. But Sallini Bellalini has no worries. She trusts. I think about all the things that could go wrong. She wags her tail at the tiniest pleasure. She doesn't miss a moment of the day focusing on yesterday or tomorrow. She is where she is right now....happily. What do dogs teach you?

I think you nailed it here...They take the time to snuggle..., they love to play. Just this morning Cici and I were playing "bowling for dollars" down the hall way! She is so good at retrieving, dropping it, and letting me throw it for her.
They are always extremely happy when I come home and greet me at the door with the utmost enthusiasm!
Sallybella and cici are going to LOVE eachother so much!
