National Dog Day

Today is National Dog Day, and I couldn't let the day go by without mentioning my sweet puppy!

This little puppy stole my heart the minute I met her.

She has been with me through many life changes: starting my career(s), my multiple moves, and getting married.

She has been by my side through unemployment, ministry, falling in love, and Crohn's.

She is my running partner, my goofy pup, and my snuggle buddy.

She is such a mess sometimes, with her diva-like stubborn personality and hyper antics...

...but I wouldn't trade her for anything, because she has never met a stranger, knows just the right time to nestle her head on your lap, and is the sweetest puppy in the whole world :)
