Think good thoughts for Rookie
Rookie, the dog in the video I posted two days ago, is 15 today. Rookie has cancer but he is hanging in there. I received this note today from Carolyn:
Today is Rookie’s 15th birthday! We will be celebrating all day and hope you will join the party. : )
This morning has been filled with birthday hugs and kisses and I am smiling ear to ear feeling extremely grateful as you can imagine.
Some of you may know that Rookie had some health issues surface this year. However despite the overwhelming odds Rookie has triumphed over each with his amazing attitude and love of life. He has taught me so many lessons over the years but probably the most important lesson he has taught me this year has been to live in the moment as he does. Without this lesson my days would have been much darker filled with worry and fear of what the future held for us. Instead I have been able to focus and enjoy every single moment we have together to the fullest. From the moment Rookie greets me in the morning with his smiling face and tail wagging to each time he is lying at my side and glances up at me. : ) It doesn’t get much better then this. : )
Thank you all for your messages of support and prayers through the last few months. Each message has brought me comfort and a feeling that I am not alone.
I hope you all will all take a moment to give your pups lots of hugs and celebrate life today with Rookie and I.
