Sad … after a surgery … not her normal self … withdrawn and depressed doggie …The posture tells the story of despair and hopelessness. Her spirits broken – is she broken?

NOOOOOO – After lots of rest, regenerating – she has renewed into a reinvented furry fox – fully recovered …such resilience exhibited by a 4-legged friend … from darkness to light, she can attest, there’s a way with lots of care … We all encounter good days and bad days; we accept both and all in-between.  Blessed to feel alive and well.  Playing at the beach as waves come crashing in … water not being her element,  before she hated getting her feet wet but now … no fear.  Just taking it all in – the beauty of it all.

Doggie inspirations.  Namaste.
