For no particular reason, I decided it was time to share these four-legged angels with you. I can do that since it is the eve of my 46th year on this earth. I like to grant myself special permission to do frivolous things on my birthday. It makes me happy. And what else is there, if we can't make ourselves happy once in a while. The handsome, burly gentleman above is Duke. He lives next door to our beach house. He loves to escape the confines of his yard to come over and say hello to our dog, Becca. I'm pretty sure they have a secret crush on each other.

This little lady is my sister, Lulu. She is a Wire-Haired Dauchsund who belongs to my Dad and my Step-Mother. I know for a fact that
she is the favorite daughter. Hmmph...Daddy's little girl!

The Newest addition to our family is my baby brother, Rambo. A crazy shitzu who also belongs to my Dad. The reason his name is Rambo is because he runs around the room ramming his ten pound body into anything or anyone he pleases. Sure, he looks innocent enough here...

And last, but never least, is my sweet girl, Becca. She is some sort of mix which may or may not include Dalmation and Lab. Whatever she happens to be, she is almost always the heartbeat which lays at my feet.

As my angel daughters grow up, Becca and I become more and more attached to one another. We understand each other. I understand that she wants a bite of everything I eat and she understands that she must kiss me when I am feeling sad. It's a very symbiotic relationship.
May you give yourself permission to indulge in something entirely frivolous. I bet it will make you smile, and you look so lovely with a smile on your face!
