Sharing, caring, and just plain fun and cuteness
Each of these photos bring a smile to my face, and flood me with sweet memories. Time passes
quickly, and reflection supports "living each day to the fullest." Enjoying the simple things, simple pleasures-whether
it be a dog's playful antics, a child's inquisitive glance, or a deep conversation with a friend or loved one-all are precious.
Enjoy your moments!

Little Dog
Little dog little dog, where have you gone?
Under the sofa, behind a big log?
Little dog little dog, where can you be?
Hiding for fun, waiting for me?
Little dog little dog, come out and play,
I’m waiting for you, to brighten my day.
Little dog little dog, I can’t find you now,
Are you lost, I’m worrying how?
Little dog little dog, don’t tease me,
I turn and I look, and beside me I see.
Little dog little dog, my faithful friend,
With me always, my needs you attend.

The Joy of Fallon
A toothy smile, a wiggle of joy,
A greeting from Fallon our pet.
Outgoing loving and kind,
She loved to swim and get wet.
She’d dive into the pool of water,
Splashing about the tide.
Nary a worry she carried with her,
As her merriment came from inside.
Playful she was but dinner was best,
As she crooned and danced about the floor.
Performing her “Scottish food dance,”
Always hoping, she could have more.
Friendly to all, shunning no one,
Constantly ready to greet.
And I always knew where to find her,
As she often lay at my feet.
