Friday's Shadow Tails

Shadow's friend Winnie visits occasionally.This first photo is from last January.

She was here last week and they played.

Shadow's long-time delivery driver friend Jen was here the other day.
She couldn't stay.

They had a very nice visit nonetheless.

My "alarm clocks" ~ I'm gently awoken by KC and Shadow, at her
"tummy hungry" time, 04:30-ish daily.


________________________________________________________________________
Every day I walk past the bedroom and check in on Shadow.
Often she'll be stretched out on our bed. I'll sit with her, give belly rubs.







Yesterday, I knelt for one last close up.

When I stood back up, Shadow starting barking like crazy.


So I suggested it might be dinner time. She followed
to the dining room. And waited patiently. (Hungrily.)

At last. Purina One with supplement and pork grease. Yum.

You show her in all her glory, doing her daily tasks, having fun and looking so beautiful as she proceeds through her day.

3. Thank You Kindly. That's how I choose to show her. Shadow has her downs and ups like any dog.

She's aging. She sleeps a lot. But she retains a spark of delight with life. Shadow has given us nearly nine years of joy, Peggy, and it is rewarding to see how she affects
others favorably.
