There's something about a dog - or any animal, for that matter, that is deeper

than mysterious! Here, my son and his Weimaraner, Dutch, communicate eye-to-

eye, soul-to-soul. Dutch had misbehaved but wanted set free from the small space

to which he had been confined between chair, fireplace and Daniel himself.

Here we have supplication and evaluation - a meeting of the minds!

are dogs and infants."

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and

shelter and affection, they will think you are God."

A boy and his dog, for the moment.

This boy and his Mom were afraid of 'Ula'Ula and her enthusiastic romping.

Only 20 minutes later he was throwing her toy and racing her to fetch it.

What a time they had!

I am grateful I got to share this moment, when his fear melted and he came to

know the joy of dogs.

I am Belle, master of my father's office. If he is down, I snuggle up in my bed

and he just melts….He is SOOO easy.

Shot with a Fisheye lens, Belle looks very big to be on my desk, but I assure you

she is a whopping 7 lbs. soaking wet and very loved.

Out best friend catching a little nap in the sunshine. His name is Kodak and our

girls named him that because he was a "Kodak moment" the first time they saw

him. He definitely is a celebration of what's right in the world!

Celebrating my princess, Sara.

Companionships come in many forms - for me it's my dog. Sara is a

Queensland Blue Heeler. She is an all around good girl. She loves all the

critters and is so kind-hearted. All she wants to do is have fun. If it's a cold,

blustery day she still wants to be out in it. She makes poppa and momma go

out even on days that one would feel like just relaxing on the couch. She will

track deer and sometimes we catch up to them, but usually the deer get

away. She will look at us like she is saying "hurry, they are right here". She

doesn't chase the animals. She doesn't let us get out of her sight and when

we ask her to stop, she stops right away. I'm sure we would see more critters

if our dog wasn't with us, but I couldn't imagine going out without her. It is

so awesome to have unconditional Love.

Look into my eyes. Do you know what that is?

That, my best friend, is unconditional love for you.

Today I'm celebrating unbridled joy. It's been awhile since I posted a picture of

our puppy, Benjamin. He is now over 1 year old, but he is still a puppy. When

we take him to the dog park, he runs and runs and runs like the wind. He loves

chasing a ball and brings it back for more. He is a joy to watch because you can

tell that he is experiencing a natural joy and it is contagious! I will never have

his energy, but I can still experience that joy in the things that I naturally

enjoy. Bennie (as we call him - NEVER Benji) reminds me of this every day!

For all of us who have been involved in the project, we see how much it has

changed us. Not so much in an intellectual way, but rather in a deep and abid-

ing emotional way. By seeing life as a celebration, by focusing on all we have to

be thankful for, we find ourselves filling with gratitude. First, perhaps, for the

big things in life. Now, more and more, for everything., every cloud, every tree,

every person, every opportunity, every breath. Living life to the fullest is so much

easier through the lens of celebration. Imagine what life would be like if every-

one saw life that way.
