I am at a stage where I want to make some changes regarding the blogs I visit and the posts which I am doing. I came across this new challenge and although I am not sure that I will be able to have something every week we will see how it goes.
I have always loved dogs. Eight years ago we lost 3 dogs which were at a very advanced age and it was truely like losing family members. I swore that I would never get emotionally attached to another dog again. Then a little abandoned stray arrived and decided to stay. He protects us and he is our little child too, he is my happiness when I get home. Some might find it boring because I cannot fully describe how very special and intelligent this dog really is.
Anyway here is our happiness waiting for his meal.
(The only time he sits still enough for me to snap a photo.)
This is serious business, you can see he is thinking “… but where is my food?”
He looks away from the camera hoping that I will not notice he is chewing the seed pods of the Magnolia tree.
Trespasser alert …. ready to pounce …. no doves allowed!
She was here a moment ago …..
I know what you are thinking, you are thinking well what has all these frowny dog faces got to do with happiness?
Well the answer is when he is happy and excited and playing catch with the ball. This amateur photographer is too slow to get him in a shot!
Happiness is when I feel his nose snuggling in the palm of my hand when I get home in the evenings.
I love this post!! He is adorable!
Thank You!
Well-treated pets are always a source of happiness! Lovely pics of a lovely dog.
Thank you, he is so precious I have to treat him well.
I can truely associate with this blog. Love my animals and because I am far away from home, i really miss them and cannot wait to see them again
Oh, what a lonely feeling when you can’t hug them
Our pets are our true friends Gb, he is beautiful.
*hugs*
He is an angel.
My pets are like my children and I’ll be devastated when they die.
What a handsome fella
I also love dogs and cannot imagine living without one. “Home is where my dogs are”
Glad to hear it
Sweet post GB! I know how you feel about your dog. I am more of a kitty person, but the strong feelings of love and loyalty are the same in each of our hearts. I enjoy your photos of him. I think how we treat our animals says so much about us as the kind of person we are. We are having issues with neighbors that treat their cats with no respect and it leaves me frustrated.
It is difficult when neighbours are involved.
I totally understand how much you love your sweet boy. I personally wish that more people had hearts like the ones inside our canine family members. The world would be a much better place. Heartwarming pictures!
Thank you
He is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing!
Losing three dogs in a short period of time would be devastating! I can imagine it would take awhile to jump back in! He’s a photogenic guy, isn’t he! So glad you have a new friend! And good luck with your new posting goals! Debra
Thank you! Two of your most recent comments landed up in my spam box, sorry for the delay in setting them free
What a lovely guy. Enjoyed the pics, gb.
The post made me remember a dog I love so much as a child but one day, he went out and never came back. I just wish that whoever took him gave him the same love , even more. Dogs are our family . The love and loyalty is without question. My son is already asking for one. Perhaps soon we will both fall in love with a little puppy that would bring happiness to our lives just like your dog brought to yours. Beautiful post with kindness and generous affection. Thanks you.

Man, ek lief honde, hierdie is te oulik!
Dankie! Lank laas van jou gehoor, bly om te sien jy blog daarem nog.
Happiness is in the heart and I know, he knew that he is generously loved. He may not show it much in his expressions but I’m sure his heart is beating with joy. Your post inspired me to one day get a puppy for my son who adores dogs. When we went home to the Philippines last March, he would wake up each day looking for the very adorable Labrador dog. my son’s face would lit up with excitement. I knew then that one day, a dog will be a part of our lives. Thanks for sharing a heart-felt post. Just beautiful.
I thought maybe I had missed something over here! I came to see what YOU were doing…
Hi! Did you see the new challenge for Sunday Stills is up – Brown?
Yep! Believe it… I am finding it difficult….
Trying to find something not so obvious! Believe me, we haven’t had rain in two months and all I gotta do is walk out any door here and I have BROWN!
