For us, it’s simple, celebrating our good health during this pandemic. Without it, you don’t have much. After health is whatever comes along in our day to day life. Not asking for much now, just health, nice weather would be nice but if not so be it. Healthy doggies we have, grateful for that. Simple stuff really.

Some of the things you mentioned could be added to our list, today I finished watching the wonderful Netflix series Wanted. I said goodbye to the Chelsea and Lola characters. It was a good day but sad that I now have to start a new series πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Anne: I just started watching Wanted. We started watching it during whelping and I had to say - Nathan - focus. LOL

The joy of your video posts of healthy puppies! Yes, I am healthy physically but the stress of my shuttered world is really beginning to get to me. Having something positive in my life like the promise of a puppy in my future keeps me going! Thanks for sharing the joy to balance my world.

we have a lot to be grateful for (so many to list!), but an important one is that we are so thankful to have our little emmy. and thank you for helping to create her! she gives us the most cheerful and enthusiastic greeting to start our day each morning. it's like a reboot that is so grounding...her optimism for the new day makes it impossible to be grumpy! congrats on all the lovely new puppies (and others to come!)

I'm so grateful the stars aligned for all of us, Takermaker, Leo, Pixie, and Tom and I. Doggies needing a home and us ready to include them in our lives.
Happy that we are all healthy and that includes the whole extended family, Talemakers family too.
Spring is coming along with summer soon, not much of a winter though, missed the snow play, sorry.
And now adorable puppies to watch as they grow up.
And for sure good wine, good food and a warm bed.πŸ·πŸ§€πŸ₯–

Everyday we celebrate how lucky we are

To have Rusty in our life
To have you and Nathan as our wonderful friends.
To be safe and secure and healthy
To have family close
To have the strength to keep working
To love and be loved.
AND as some have said good wine and good food
And can't forget Netflix and Chris Cuomo
