My Favorite Guy

The most special and meaningful activity (for me) at our Greyhounds Rock benefit gathering is Sunday morning's Blessing of the Hounds.  Our officient is a cancer survivor, dog lover, and the minister who married our daughter in June.  After she addressed the gathering, she blessed each dog individually ... asking the owners if there was anything specific we would like her to pray for. 

I asked her to pray for Daniel, and for me, to continue to find peace in these weeks following Emma's death.  (Emma has been gone for almost six weeks.  Each day, it seems a little bit easier being a one-dog household ... and Daniel has adapted much better than I imagined he would to his only-dog status.)



After his blessing, I sat to tell Daniel how much I loved him.  A friend took this photo that captured the moment.  It shows perfectly how much I love this dog ... and I knew I had to share it here so you can see what a handsome guy my Daniel is.
