Puppies

 Year 8-Day 238: Today, I am grateful for puppies. 

Apparently, today is the day to be grateful for the puppies in our lives. We do love puppies in the Smith house. We love them best after they gain their house manners, but they are worth the work and the wait to grow them up a little. 

Puppy breath. Happy tails and wiggly butts are their trademark. They are so cute when they are still a little pudgy and wobble a little when they walk. Seeing every new discovery from their perspective. I can watch them play for hours.    

Daisy Mae is now two years old. It is hard to remember the puppy stage, and then I find puppy pictures. Hard to believe two years ago she was so little. 

Puppies are reminder that new life is a precious gift. Puppies, like all babies, grow up too fast. You have to enjoy the moment while you are in it.  

Today, I am grateful for puppies.
