Puppy Love
Some of you will understand this and some of you won’t. But I am totally and completely in love with my dog. Nina, my Norwegian Elkhound, is the love of my life. This truth can be attributed to two things: (1) my never-ending affection and sensitivity for animals and (2) the fact that I don’t have children. Nina is my kid … my canine kid. I spend more time with her than any other living creature on the planet, her personality is as complex as any human’s and when she’s hurt, my heart breaks. And since she had a medical procedure at the vet today that left her drugged, in pain and wearing one of those shameful cones, I thought it time that I dedicate a blog to her. All other posts can wait.
I love you Nina!

Tricia – I just read this blog. I know you KNOW I totally understand your love of Nina — matched only by my love of Holly (named after another love we share – Audrey Hepburn)…thanks for your sweet story. Hope Nina is feeling better. As I recently said to my sister, “They make your worst and best days even better.: Don’t know what we would do without them… xoxo

So glad this post resonated with you Danielle. I get teary-eyed just thinking about Nina sometimes. I can’t imagine my life without her. ; )
