Seven Years with Our Oliver

Today I am grateful for a closed mouth and an open mind and heart. I am also grateful for our dog Oliver and what he brings to our family.

Oliver arrived in our lives seven years ago today. After a plane ride and a little time lost on a baggage carousel, we met him for the first time and quickly fell in love.

Here is a picture of Oliver that I especially like:



We were just having a little fun with the Twins cap. He's not a big fan of doggy attire or short haircuts. But this captures him in one of his favorite hangout spots in our house. When we first got him, the rule was "not on the furniture." Now, he sits/sleeps anywhere he wants to. Sound familiar?

He has shown us unconditional love and taught us much ever since. Our lives would not be the same without him.

Here is one of my first blog posts from three years ago. It is called "And Then There's Pup" and it tells more about the timing of his arrival. Oliver and my post-cancer self continue to grow and learn together and enjoy one another's company. Thanks pup!
