Lily D. Dog




I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.
~Gilda Radner

Dogs lead such simple lives.

At least my dog does.


She eats, sleeps, plays, and ferociously guards our home against the nefarious plotting of the neighborhood squirrels. (Those darn squirrels must be up to something...why else would Lily D. Dog be so overly concerned with their constant chattering and tail fluffing?)

Lily loves her people.

It doesn't matter how smelly we are. It doesn't matter how grumpy we are. It doesn't matter how insensitive we are are. It doesn't matter how good we look or how well we behave ourselves. Lily D. Dog is there to love, and to lick, and to wag her tail.

When I think about this dog, I am humbled.

She models the love of Christ better than most people I know.

I have much to learn from her.

dogs are like that...........I read somewhere that dogs are here to remind us of how much we are loved & cats are here to keep us humble...both as a lesson from god/spirit
