My sweet wife, Linda and our precious Rocky. If I didn't have these two in my life I would be one messed up old man. All Linda has to do is hear me say anything about something or somewhere I like and before long she has made arrangements for me to have an item or travel to the place I desire. She is always doing for or thinking about others and is definately my better half because without her I would be one sad critter.
Our little "man" Rocky the element that truly makes our house a home. His unconditional love to both of us can add calmness to the worst possible day. The only thing he really requires is love and we are overflowing with that for him. When we return after being gone for either an hour or a week he greets us with such enthusiasm that in the excitement he pees wherever we are at the moment so we do try to choose our point of contact.
So today I am thankful for my constant companions that make my life richer and full of joy.
Aaaw, Odie, that is such a lovely post for Linda and little Rocky, and what a delightful photo of the two of them together. I am so glad that you have both of them in your life. Linda does sound like a special person who cares for and loves you very much, to do those things for you. What more can one ask for?!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, and I'm sure that Linda thinks that she's a lucky lady to have Odie in her life too!!
you are truly a blessed man and I am sure that your wife and rocky feel the same way...
ReplyDeleteSweet romantic post :)
ReplyDeleteA dog adds so much to your life. My Toto used to pee submissively whenever somebody walked in the door. Eventually she outgrew the habit but she retained her boundless enthusiasm for human contact. We can learn a lot from dogs about resilience and indefatigable optimism. Have a wonderful Thursday, Odie!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post, Odie!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about my husband, son, and our dog. What would life be without the ones who truly love us? I hate to even imagine.
Have a wonderful day with Linda and Rocky!! :)
This was a lovely post Odie. I am really happy for you that you have someone as loving and caring as Linda in your life. Rocky is just the icing on the cake :)
ReplyDeleteThis post was so full of love that I'm still smiling. If we do nothing but experience love in our lives, I think it's enough. Our new dog, Ozzie, who was rescued from living "free and in the wild" for the first three months of his life, was so nervous to be in our home with people that he peed in the dining room every day for the first month. We have since ripped up all the carpet in that room and are putting in a hardwood floor.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tribute to your wife! What would we do without our loyal furry friends and family who provide us with endless unconditional love? Like you, I think I'd be a mess. Happy Thankful Thursday! - G
ReplyDeleteI have a husband and a dog that I feel exactly the same about. God gives us such wonderful gifts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. Your wife sounds like a real treasure! You are blessed indeed.
ReplyDeleteDogs are wonderful too. I love playing with my little one on the bed with a sock. She is just a ball of fun.
Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteThere's not much that can beat the greeting you get from a dog when you get home at the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteLinda sounds like a great woman.....you're a lucky guy!

I'm so glad that you've found happiness with Linda and Rocky! Having people in our lives to care for (and to care for us) is a wonderful blessing!
