This may seem an odd post on this our "international remember to tell the person you love with an overpriced card and sugar that you care" day. But its what was on my mind. I actually wrote this last summer on one of those stinking hot days that I spent keeping Skeeter cool and comfortable.I was reminded then, as I often am that dogs are such wise and loving souls. I was sad, he was ill and we just cuddled, Henry hopped up with us and we all just had a pleasant chill afternoon.
Also sharing today because Henry, is 7 today!!! how time has flown by! My funny valentine himself! Frankie has his own special day in July. We used to call this day Skeeters "Gotcha day " because we didn't know his birth date and he was a Valentines gift to Martin.
Why dogs?
Dogs are never too busy or too tired to spend time with me
Dogs won’t ignore me when someone else comes along
My Dogs are always happy to see me
My dog has never canceled plans because he got a better offer
My dog has never called me fat
My dog doesn’t care if my outfit is trending
My dog doesn’t care if my hair is long or short, grey or a mess
My dog has never made me feel bad about myself
My dog doesn’t laugh at me, but he brings me joy
My dog has never made me feel hard to love

A little side note about some of the other social media platforms, I have enjoyed the opportunity afforded me in that I can "read" my writings and share them and other experiences in video. Helping to keep my memories. But gosh I am happy to be back on Blogger .

Awww, I love this!! Dogs are so special. Sherry, it is so nice to have you back on Blogger sharing your wisdom & kind words. I couldn't agree with you more, love is meant to shared every day. I've never heard your voice before, you even sound like an author :) Happy Valentines Day!
What a personality your Henry has! Valentine’s is a perfect birthday. My daughter was born 30 years ago, on Valentine’s Day, and it has since then been all about my love for her.
Lovely tribute to dogs! We do miss our Tess, Reba and Merle.
Ted and I do tell each other, every day "I love you" and try to show it in all the little things we do for each other.
I love that photo of Henty with your mom. It was special back than and it is still, now.
Your dogs look so happy, relaxed and chill. Looks like they bring you and yours as much joy and happiness as you give them. I love your latest writing and I'm glad to see you back on blogger.
Always tell those you love just how much you they mean to you. We never know Which day will be our last.
thank you all, Yes Shirley I too love the picture of Henry and mom, and the joy it brought her, I never captured this but while he was there my mom was actually able to lift her hand to him, that memory holds my heart all these years later. Linda, happy belated birthday to your daughter, what a wonderful valentine! CnJ, I agree wholeheartedly, every day!
