The sun was quickly setting when my daughter requested a quick photo session. We hurried outside to catch the last of the golden rays of sunlight for the day. The bonus: I captured another favorite image of a very special person in my life! ♥
I count every remembrance of my loved ones a blessing...and every image is a continued blessing!
Welcome to my bloghome! Here I share favorite images, special moments, information, honors and little glimpses into my life. You are welcome to share in my life as is seen through my eyes, my lens and my vision. ~sherry boles

the not-so-patient patient
The song "This is the Stuff" sung by the talented Francesca Battistelli has been my theme of the month. (If you haven't checked her out, I encourage you to do that!) Lots of little things have been taking up a large portion of my life. It seems that everything is happening at once and I'm having to look to see the bright side.
The staff at our new veterinarian clinic has had the privilege of seeing me at least six times in the first two weeks of March (and I've still got a few more visits scheduled this month)! I think they are probably tired of seeing my face by now...
It all started with a simple late night hop onto the recliner. Not sure exactly what happened by my sweet boy missed his mark in the dark, tried to pull himself up and somehow dislocated his hip (badly) in the process. The vet said that it was so bad that he looked like he had been hit by a car. :(
So after the procedure to relocate his hip, he returned to us in a complicated sling. He quickly took to walking on three legs...so quickly that he actually wore himself out the first night (and wasn't happy that he couldn't take his daily walk).
It only took him a week to figure out how to work his way out of the tight bandages by slipping them off his backside using his good hip! Such a talented one!
Fortunately, I was able to put a very temporary bandage (which he proceeded to twist out of within hours) on him to get him to the vet because they were sure that he had re-dislocated his hip in the process. Well, (long story short) he didn't. He got a new sling (special fitted to -hopefully- outwit his "talent"). He's still not happy about not getting his regular walks but at least he's on the mend. :)

After a long hard week, it's great to slow down and appreciate the simple yet magnificent beauty of a sunset. :)
