I try to be more Present in my life.
I talk about living in the Now.
Each day I search anew to find ONE GOOD THING.
Today, I'm celebrating a very special Chocolate Lab named K who lives with my Blog friend, KB (
Romping and Rolling in the Rockies). K is a sensitive, loyal canine companion who is currently battling osteosarcoma. Daily, when I read KB's Blog and see her luminous photos of the Colorado paradise she calls home, I smile at K's beautiful fur lit by the morning sun, her soulful amber eyes looking out at me from the pictures. I laugh at her "batty" ears flying upward when she runs. K doesn't fret about past mistakes. She doesn't worry about the problems tomorrow might bring. In fact, K is a perfect role model for living in the present - for enjoying Life now. Bonded in spirit to her humans, K shows us what it means to be selfless. Well loved, she poses on boulders that look out over high peaks and knows she's queen of her domain.
I'm joining with other bloggers to celebrate the life of a very special dog. K is my One Good Thing today. For her family, she's the one good thing every day. With her big heart and her zest for life, she teaches all of us how to live to the fullest.
On this day and on many other days, may K romp with her rascally "brother" R and her beloved humans in the outdoor wilderness they all love.
Sending along hugs to KB who must make the decisions and handle the stress of K's illness.

So beautiful Barb. Happy Valentine's to you. Carol
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteLovely post for K and KB. They are a special team and we pray for many more days of romping and rolling for K.
We should all celebrate life like K. Live each day as if there is no tomorrow. Sweet post...great reminder! Happy Valentines to you my friend! Hope you are playing in the snow! Hope you have some!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Thanks for being one of the Pillars of Strength.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written, Barb.
ReplyDelete"For her family, she's the one good thing every day." Really like this.
Perfect words, Barb.
ReplyDeleteWe can learn a lot from dogs.
Thanks for observing that, and for having such a positive blog. It is always a joy to visit here.
You always write with such wisdom. Wishing you a happy Valentine's Day. May your life always be filled with love.
ReplyDeleteA lovely tribute Barb!
ReplyDeleteThis was just a precious upliftin' post to support a friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big heart you have...girl, you are the Valentine!!!
God bless and have a wonderful Valentine's Day sweetie!!! :o)
That was such a sweet tribute Barb. I pray that K's parents can find the strength to make their decisions.
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
Man's best friend is so named not for nothing. I would be bereft without my dear Benno who is showing great signs of ageing. His osteoarthritis is pronounced and he often feels pain, in spite of his medication. But he is still happy and the dearest creature on earth. I hope K will remain the light of KB's life for some time to come. Our dogs are family embers, desperately missed when they go.
ReplyDeleteYou said it so beautifully and from the heart, Barb. Thank you so much. And thank you for your friendship over these years. I am stronger from it. All of us are stronger from your beautiful post today that shows how well you've come to know K, her rascally brother (perfect description), and me.
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow of colors like a glass prism, reminds us that there is always hope and joy! Heading over to KB's.
ReplyDeleteSuch a difficult situation to deal with -- they are like our children in so many ways. Sending big hugs to K and lots of healing strength. :)
ReplyDeleteDogs teach us everything we need to know about life.
ReplyDeleteso kind of you to show your love and support for K and KB! You write so beautifully and with your heart in each word. I add my heart to yours in support!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing K's story, Barb. I just visited KB's blog and found it very moving...
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am glad you enjoyed the Lincoln quotes I put on my blog!
What an outstanding tribute to both dog and owner. My little dog was stolen from me and he loved me from the moment I first got him. We could learn so much from them!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post... we can all learn from it.
