A 50 degree day in January!<\/p>\n

After a wonderful church service (thank you Father Mack!) and some catching up with friends, I came home to find my goofball German Shepherd outside with John fixing bare patches in the lawn.\u00a0 She actually allowed me to snap some pictures of her today.\u00a0 We ended up going on a nice, long 3 miles walk together as a family, then home to homemade dog treats for Shadow.\u00a0 She mugged for the camera in a rare mood of picture-taking, so at last, here are photos of my best gal and friend. We decided that Shadow’s theme song is “Take a Chance on Me” by ABBA; we took a chance on this sad sack at the dog pound, and never regretted a moment.\u00a0 Enjoy a few photos and Happy Sunday!<\/p>\n
