Discoveries

I'll start this blog by being completely honest.  I'm hurting.  Taco died on August 31.  (For those who have been on another planet just recently found my blog, Taco was my dog, my best friend of 12 years.)  I'm not ready/able to blog about her death yet, but I'll get to that eventually because I know it will be therapeutic.

Meanwhile, I can't believe how profoundly I'm grieving. I'm heartbroken. And the fact that Guitarman is out of the country makes this week even more difficult.  The good news is: God knows just what we need when we need it.  While searching for a work-related file on my computer today, I discovered a folder of old videos I had downloaded when I replaced my phone.  The folder contained a bunch of old videos of Snuggles, videos I hadn't seen in quite awhile. Watching those short little video clips made my heart smile.

As I watched the videos of Snuggles, I realized the past year for Snuggles has not only been a time of growth physically, it's also been a year of discovery. Thankfully, his many discoveries have been too cute to resist recording. And so, I bring you a video archive of Snuggles' discoveries...
