SAL, WHITNEY, AND LIL
My young granddaughter loves dogs. Here in the photo above she is having a discussion with my dogs -- Sallie Tomato and Lily Pad -- aka Sal and Lil. They are soaking up the attention as most dogs will.
Recently I have been reading several articles on pets and how they improve our health.

My family should be way healthy -- we've always multiple dogs. Now, as old age creeps up on us, we are not replacing two recent losses. Now we have only four dogs and two cats.

ReplyDeleteSal has the happiest face I've ever seen on a dog. If that doesn't cheer you, I don't know what would! Your granddaughter is lovely.
ReplyDeletebarefootheart -- thanks for the very nice comment on my granddaughter and Sal. Sal is a character and a lover of folks. Found your Sunday snapshot of your dog in the car hilarious! -- barbara
