We have a new dog. He is soft. He is cuddly. He doesn't shed. My children love him. They wanted him. They begged for him. I see the joy in their eyes. The love that flows, when they interact with him in their own individual ways, makes my heart smile. I know that it was God's plan to have him join our family. It was the right time and he was the right dog. I love him! We all do. Even the hubby who tries to deny it has been heard uttering baby talk to him. This dog is irresistible. Here he is. His name is Hardsun. Here is the kicker. I also know that he will break our hearts one day. That little girl who is smiling so wide in the picture above, will grieve and her cheeks will be streaked with tears that I cannot stop. The joy that they have for him now, will lead to sadness. There is no way to avoid this. As my husband pointed out recently, "All relationships will end one day." I guess there was one way we could have sheltered our children from
Life, Love, and Learning to be Content one day at a time.
