Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will.

Our Yin Yang Dogs


Nila's boy snapped this photo of the dogs napping while I was out yesterday. They are truly yin yang dogs, complementary opposites within a greater whole. Nila (13yo) had neck surgery last month for a glandular lump that had dangerously enlarged overnight, from walnut size to grapefruit size. She healed quickly, and except for periodic reminders of her severe spine and hip arthritis, she's back to acting like a puppy. While we don't know what the lump is (tissue too damaged for successful biopsy), as long as she's comfortable and happy, we're happy.

Snow Day

Nila and Rose sunning on the deck last summer

We're experiencing typical Pacific NW weather today -- sun, rain, snow, hail, temperatures in mid-40s.

So this would be a good time to remind myself of the sunshine we should be seeing more often in another month or so.
