MARLEY MORNING

NOW

AND THEN.

Well, the frog is a little worn out now, and Marley is certainly a LOT BIGGER.  We thought we were getting a medium size dog but we got a BIG DOG. And of course, now he is perfect the way he is -- just more of him to LOVE!  Marley has become the center of our lives.  We are always laughing and loving his silly fun ways.  He spends days here with me at the studio... napping and patiently waiting for a walk or ride.  He adores getting the mail with us.. he will even help bring in the groceries.  We take him with us nearly everywhere we go.. he especially loves the jeep rides.  He always greets us with a smile and lots of tail wagging and it is so special to be loved by Marley.

Here in the neighborhood, Marley's best friend is Oso.  They met at a local park and we hook up with Pablo his owner and Oso and Marley play and run and run.  It's so fun to watch them romp and wear themselves out.  I want to take a movie of those two. It's just so great for them to get together.

I cannot imagine my life with Marley.  The love of this sweet dog just makes every day a happy joyful day.

The sky is just bluer, the songs sweeter and you cannot help but feel blessed.

NOW
to work!

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MARLEY

Ahhh... so sweet.  Marley is so little here in this picture.  Only 6 weeks old!  His birthday is coming up on the 20th!  He will be two years old.  He has become a big part of our family.  Emalie adored him and Stephanie too.  They took him for walks, runs and romps nearly everyday.  Stephanie found him a best friend at the park, a sweet dog named Oso.  We now coordinate our park time with Oso and his owner Pablo so the two can run wildly and play!

 This morning I took a walk in the garden to see what was blooming new.  And Marley was with me, smelling the flowers and enjoying the cool morning breeze.

Which prompted him to take a nap.

(I think his legs are longer, can he still be growing?)

Life is so sweet for Marley.

He knows how to live ART-FULLY and be in the NOW!
