I spy with my little eye

Three bloggers and a tribe.

Our sweet Lilli is home again with us, after a terrible scare (rushed to the ER for a blood transfusion due to severe anemia). We weren't sure she would even survive the night. It's so nice to see her back in her favorite spot, modeling the latest in poodle haute couture. It's amazing how much love and concern we have for our four legged friends, and how sad we were to think she might not make it. I know it's something we will someday have to face. This small brush with the possibility of her death gave us a lot of time to discuss how we would handle a serious illness in our dog, and to talk about serious illness in people, to think about the choices we must all make with regard to our own care, and for the care for those we love. It was a challenging but really profound week for all of us.

 This boy grew up a little more this week, turning nine. He created his day to be just what he wanted. Saying all day how awesome it was. He oozed gratitude and celebration. It was a joy to witness this.
