My Foursome ~ Day 72

It has been a tough few days on an emotionally level for me to let go of my man's best friends...

I COULDN'T DO IT! I am a total sap for them... I am just not emotionally ready to let them go, yet!

A change of heart until I am ready! :) BUT NO MORE TAKE IN DOGS for us! ( I promised Hubby!)

 It is just another happy day at the cottage for them with their special happy meal on Friday morning! :)

They are truly so happy, healthy, safe here as long as I can love them and provide for them, near or far...


With Love & my Foursome,

Puppy Love ~ Day 71

Ever had a day when you can't wake up and you are still dragging at 3pm?... It was that kind of a day! UGH....

I am emotionally exhausted to prepare to say good bye to my dogs!!!! Sniff, sniff...
The new family said they will be by tomorrow but I never count on anything 100% until its done.

 They are not gone yet but my heart feels so heavy with sadness to let them go. I have never gone through this process of finding the right people or really, praying and hoping they are the right people for them. You really don't know that for sure anyway!

The anticipation is the worst. I am drained emotionally from this experience.
Some may say that's silly and they are just pets, animals.

But, if you are animals lover, they are so MUCH MORE!
They are LOVE that is priceless. They give abundance of LOVE to you freely.
They are your most LOYAL friend that will stand by your side regardless what you have or don't have.  They COMFORT you after a hard day when other people and friends leave you.
They will DEFEND & PROTECT you when others shy away from you.
They are always HAPPY to see you, even when you ignore them.
They ASK FOR SO LIITLE but GIVE SO MUCH, unconditionally!!

I will not have anymore dogs if I can't be around for them, everyday. Hard lesson learned!

Thank goodness,  my Teddy Ber has been my very first and a constant companion that can travel with me, well.

I wouldn't know what I would do without my Teddy Ber. One is enough.

Doing the "right thing" is not the "easiest thing".

With Love & letting go,

Hai

Man's Best Friend~ Day 70

It was a tough day for me to find the right home(s) for my outdoor dogs and talking to people about them.

I am emotionally exhausted to even write about it, tonight. sniff, sniff..

I just want to do the right thing for them since I travel so much.  I can't give them what they deserve  and this process is NOT easy. Ugh!  Guilt is the WORST enemy of the heart today for me! :(

Dear God,
Please, please, please help me find the right, loving home(s) for my Charlie & Harley and/or give me a better solution. I hope the people that said they are interested will think it over overnight and do the right thing for the dogs. I believe if its meant to be, YOU will guide me to the best solution by this weekend.
Amen.

My Charlie & Harley

Man's Best Friend(s) only have unconditional LOVE to offer us all!

With Love &  Man's Best Friend,

Hai

A Child of Mine~ Day 69

Today came and went ... Like a child of mine.

I had a wonderful time with my daughter! Oh, how she is growing up in an instant!
It was like yesterday that I watched her crawled, walked and tonight I saw how much she has blossomed into a young lady. Something has changed, only her mother can see! :)

These are the precious moments I remember... and so many more in between, pressed deeply in my heart.

With Love & my child,

Hai

It's a Colorful Monday~ Day 68

Happy Monday, already!  Let's get it started!
So, just color me with "HAPPYNESS" today, please! :)

Our colorful cottage of "happyness"

Painting has never been my strong suit but it is more fun to have the results in seeing my favorite colors be a part of our world.  This was my painting weekend ( more painting to finish but that's for another weekend with my hubby.)

 I am not afraid to live with bright colors! And thank goodness, James and I mutually like and enjoy bright colors in our world, together! :)

We get to create our own surroundings! Why not surround yourself in your favorite colors of "HAPPYNESS, today!"

I am excited to step out onto this, on this Monday morning! Yup!... it's gonna be a colorful day, indeed! :)

With Love & Colors,

Hai
