Puppy Love



When my world turned upside in January, there were a few things that held constant. And a big one was Scout's love, affection, and companionship. I don't know what I would've done over the past few months, especially during my leave from work, if I hadn't had Scout to care for. She provided endless cuddles, the perfect walking companion, and the unconditional love that only dogs can give. We're sad her little brother never got to meet her, and we know they would've been great buddies. In this photo, she's curled up on the blanket that covered Cayden's isolette. People have asked if we think Scout understood that something was going on back in January, and while there's no way to be sure, this picture speaks a thousand words to me. Happy 5th Birthday Scouty!

Oh they know, our dogs know for sure. My dog Miles knew Mummy was sad, and he knew something wasn't quite right. I think he still knows. I'd be so lost without him.

No doubt about it that dogs are man's best friend. Free love and kisses are the best!
