As I sit here on my deck enjoying my day off with a  cup of tea. I look down at my feet and see this beautiful face looking back at me. Just 15 min earlier I had watched a video of animals that had me cry. Sheena came right to my side and put her face in my lap. Of course I smiled how could I not. She is adorable.
It's been almost 10 months(actually 3 days shy) since we lost our baby boy Thane.  As I look at Sheena I feel nothing but Love for her. Losing Thane I never thought I could love another dog like I loved him. I simply cannot imagine my life without her. 10 months ago we started a new journey with Sheena. I can't believe how far she has come. In 10 months she is no longer driven by food. She now loves to meet new people and has become the social butterfly of our community. Our neighbours come out just to say hi to her as we walk by. The kids simply love her. As we are walking her all you can hear in the distance is "here comes Sheena" lol that makes us smile.The kids come running just to pat her and say hi. The other day one little girl said "hi Sheena's mom" as she drove by her on  bike. She is doing awesome at meeting new dogs as well. There is a French Bullmastiff that she has her eye on they have met only twice but I think she has a crush on him. He knows how to go down the slide at the park. I think he is showing of for her :)
There truly is nothing like the love of a dog!  Here is a beautiful Poem I found which sums it all up. I hope you enjoy it.

JUST MY DOG
She is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
 my other ears that hear above the winds.
She is the part of me that reaches out into the sea.
She has told me a thousand times over that I'm
her reason for being.by the way she rests against my leg;
by the way she thumps her tail at my smallest smile;
 by the way she shows her hurt when I leave
without taking her.
I think it makes her worry when she is not along
to care for me.
When I am wrong, she is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, she clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, she is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, she ignores it.
When I succeed, she brags.
Without her, I am only another person.
With her, I am all powerful.
She is loyalty itself.
She has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With her, I know a secret comfort and a private peace.
She has brought me understanding where before
I was ignorant.
Her head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
Her presence by my side is protection against my fears
of dark and unknown things.
She has promised to wait for me, whenever, wherever
in case I need her.
And I expect I will, as I always have.
She is just my dog.
