I wonder. . . .

. . .what life would be like if the Lord hadn't thought up the idea of pets.  In his infinite wisdom, he knew that in doing so, we would experience something so precious and so unbelievably priceless. Unconditional love.

I have been very fortunate to have experienced that my entire life.  Pets don't care about what kind of car you drive, where you live, if you haven't showered in three days because you've been sick.  They don't care about ANYTHING but you.  You are the center of their universe.  A little scary, but a wonderful thought at the same time.

I've had Bella for almost a year now, but it's hard to remember what life was like before I got her.  She brings me such joy and her and Bandit make me laugh every day.  And that got me to thinking.  I wonder how Sally feels about her Bella? I bet she loves her just as much. Taking walks together, eating popcorn on the sofa while watching a scary movie together (ding, ding, ding. .another idea), taking a long leisurely row in a canoe, catching fireflies, skinny dipping at the local swimming hole, and chasing rainbows. Oh, they must have the best adventures ever!  Don't you think?  I do.

So, in thinking about that, I sketched out this little image on the left.  Sally and Bella are enjoying some quiet time together without any interruptions. Perhaps watching the sunset, but still, not having to say a single word.  It's enough just being together and that's all that matters. True friendship and an unconditional love.  There is nothing better, as I am sure that you will agree.

I hope that you've experienced the pleasure of having a pet and all the love and joy that they bring.  But if not, you can come along with Sally and Bella on their adventures.  I'm along for the ride, are you?

Finally, I want to thank you for your sweet comments and emails concerning my first video tutorial.  I really did have fun doing it.  I wasn't really sure if you all would even want to see it, but I just threw it out there for you, just in case.  I will be working on the hair, bow/shorts and shoes portion in another video tutorial this week.  I hope.  But I would still like some other suggestions.  So if you'd like to see something, you're going to have to help me out. Thinking is really difficult for me and often gives me a headache.  LOL So even if it's just the coloring of another image, you'll have to let me know.   Because I will certainly be at a loss after this one is completed. :)

But. . . .I do have a favor to ask, if you have the time and don't mind taking a minute to help me out.  I will be doing more tutorials if there is a request, and what I'd like to know is, if you'd like to see the video tutorials here or just the journaling, or a little of both.  I will be posting the video tutorials to my new YouTube channel, so they will always be there, but was wondering which was more convenient for you.  So I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.  You may leave a comment or simply drop me an email.  Either way is fine.


So until tomorrow. . . .HAPPY WAGGING!
