Teal it all...

I have falling so in love with this color the last few years that ever chance I get to paint something teal

I go for it...

This bench and table were my latest victims.

The fabric on the table was a 25 cent find at a church sale with the vintage Newberry tag still on it. (American Pickers eat your heart out!) Another one of my joys....collecting vintage fabric...isn't it groovy!...LOL

They have now become my kitchen island.

However the dogs believe it is the new doggie bed...

The doggies always win :)

I even have leftover paint to play around with when I get the

crafty itch.

So there it is ....I'm tealing it all ;)

defiant shadows...

Our Granddaughter met Glory for the first time today...

They wanted to touch each other in the worst way....but because Glory is not done with her treatment for mange it could not be.

This next shot I love...I called it "defiant shadows"... somehow they were going to find a way to touch...

I looked up the word glory today and this is one of the meanings I found

.~A state of extreme happiness or prosperity~

To us this face is true...

Living with Glory

We enjoyed the sunshine...

Wow....sorry I asked...

Glory love's exploring her new world.

She walks back to check in with me often.

Yep because I'm the lady with the goodies :)

However by the end of the day she was not so happy with me...

...it was monkey bug bath time :(

To Him be Glory!

We are very happy with Glory's progress, although she has a road ahead of her we know the hardest road is behind her.
Please feel free to share this video.
Remember we are the only voice they have.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....NOT!

Woke up to snow this morning....I LOVE SNOW! However...

...our new house guest does not share my passion.

About the Author

Anna started blogging to share her love of photography through the antics of a pack of dogs. She and her husband Richard fostered and rehabilitated many animals through the years as they shared a truly enchanted life in the world of dog rescue. Serving God in this very unique way became a life of great joy for them both. In August of 2012 Richard was suddenly and unexpectedly promoted to Heaven. With that heartbreaking loss a new journey and season began for Anna. One she now shares openly in this blog. The journey is real… sometimes raw and sometimes downright heart wrenching, but also filled with hope and encouragement that there is life after suffering such great loss. She continues to share her journey through the antics of the pack and the love of the lens. She does this because the heart of a rescuer is the heart of a rescuer….whether it be two legged or four legged they want to see those who suffer set free from their pain. She hopes by sharing her journey that it may somehow comfort others and help them to “live like someone left the gate open”...FREE! Anna always believed every dog they cared for had a story and because they had made it into rescue that story had a “happy ever after”. Now through the strength she draws from her faith in a God that has been relentlessly kind to her…the love of her family and friends and of course through the crazy antics of a pack of dogs… she is learning to believe she still has a “happy ever after” as well. Thank you for stopping by and sharing the journey with her.
