Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Mira's been digging around in the South Platte River with her nose!

Mira is a big fan of fly fishing. She needs to learn to stick around a little closer, but overall she's a great fishing companion.

Mira in her new bed

Mira is really enjoying being an only puppy. She likes to play with all of her squeaky toys, be brushed, and chill out in her new super comfy bed.

Eating

Her favorite hobby:)

Puppy in black and white

It's been so much fun to watch Trinity take on a mother role. I can't wait to see what this pup grows up to look like. At 2 weeks, she sure is adorable.

Like a little teddy bear

Okay...so this is a really blurry picture, but I couldn't resist. She looks just like a little teddy bear:)

Look at that Belly!

She has the mommy buffet all to herself:)

Here's another picture of Trinity's pup at 2wks. At this age she was crawling around and her eyes were opening! She is such a sweetheart!

The One Year Plan

This evening, while stumbling through the darkness with my German Shepherd on the other end of a leash that felt like it was the only life-line I had, I pledged myself to an idea that I think may be transforming for me.  I am going to live the next year of my life as though it's the only one I have left.  What would I do if I only had one year to live on this planet.  Would I worry about getting ahead to the detriment of family and friends that I hold dear?  I would likely call my parents every night just to tell them how much I loved them.  I would be open and honest with my thoughts, opinions, and feelings.  If people only have one year with which to love you or hate you, why not give them 100% of yourself.  If they don't like "you" bold, bright, and beautiful, then it's better to find out so that you can move on to people who do.  Why slave away with the expectation that next year you will receive an enormous raise.  Next year...you could be in the ground.  So...give it your best every day, which doesn't mean perfect...just what you have left.  Don't go to bed with reserves.  

Enjoy every moment, even the extremely painful ones, so on that "pretend" deathbed, you can remember what you learned from living life with meaning and purpose.  

Mira's new-new favorite game!
