We are retired and definitely set in our ways. We never had children nor ever had an inside dog. (As children we grew up on farms and had outside dogs.) We had our routines down pat and didn't even realize how stale and stagnant our lives had become.
Taffy has turned our lives upside down and inside out. She has a personality all her own and at times it varies from inquisitive toddler-like to rebellious teenager-like. However, the one constant is her lovable and irresistable personality. Even when she's shredded a paper napkin into microscopic pieces for the umpteenth time, she's still adorable.
To the outsiders looking in it only appears that we got a dog...a pet.
However, in spite of the scientific classification of species, we know we've added a family member. Through her antics and her unconditional love, Taffy has eased the aches and pains of aging and has truly given us a new lease on life.
She's brought springtime back into the autumn of our lives and infused our house with energy, excitement, and enthusiasm for living. She's only six months old and we've only had her for three months but imagining life without her is totally incomprehensible. |
My Sadie is eleven months old. Your words so perfectly explained our feelings about her. What a beautiful description of our little ones!
