There's A Time For Everything

My husband and I are a month into puppyhood and it's been a crazy experience.  It has taught us many things not least that there are . . .

times when we all need a helping hand

 
 and times we can sink or swim

 
times to run towards something


and times when it's best to retreat

 
times to branch out


 yet times when we'll miss the mark

 
times to just hang on


and times when you need to stand your ground


times when you should listen


yet times to show what you really think


times when we need to appreciate the little things


times to take that next step


. . . and times to figure out what new path to follow


What life lessons have you learnt recently?

    Oh my... puppy puppy puppy. Their precious years, and you have certainly captured it well. He's cute and you did a wonderful job with these black and whites.

    I'm in love!! that first shot is my fave. Great to get a lab right in the water where they love to be. I see your husband is working on her hunting skills already. She is super adorable.
    Thanks for sharing your sweetie. Enjoy, have fun, hope she's stopped peeing on the rug. : ) Been there-done that.

    Awww ... very cute! Sometimes I feel I need to learn all those things ... or re-learn them. Love the first pic and the 'standing your ground' pic made me smile all over :-)
