Stepping out to play.



(Brian and Butters in Yosemite, 2010)
The path was unsettling
for you and
your dog
as you explored
the challenges
a  new playground
presented.

You saw only joy.

  15. When I saw the photo, before I read the piece, I was so saddened. Brian and his dog. I though of Julie and her dog, also a yellow lab. When I read your piece, I was filled with joy for Brian, and for Julie too. Those days they had on hikes, on runs, on adventures with their dogs were filled with joy. I'm thankful for that.

  19. A sweet picture of a handsome son and a friendly dog. That is why pictures are so important; they show us the joy of a beautiful moment.

  20. Ah, how poignant. I have goosebumps because when I read and was replying to your comment at my blog I suddenly thought about your son's dog and I wondered how it was in its new home. Now, to see this picture and to read the fitting name that Brian gave to his dog, well it is just almost too much. But in a joyful-kind-of-way.
