See Beautiful Friday

 
I LOVE "See Beautiful" Fridays
It is a day to celebrate life
and even though we try to do
that every day, "Life" often
gets in the way of our celebrating.
 
For weeks, maybe even months,
"Life" has gotten in our way
but I am not complaining because
It Is "SEE BEAUTIFUL Friday
today and look what I finally got
to go and do.
 Now Ain't that a beautiful sight.
Me and My Water
Back together again.
 
 
But on a more serious Note:
Meet Momma and her puppies.
We are fostering them right now
and they are a true example
of humans who "See Beautiful"
 
You see, Momma and her puppies
were set to be euthanized.   Why You Ask?
Because some human decided they
didn't want a pregnant dog nor
a bunch of puppies.
 
So they were taken to a High Kill
Shelter.   But somehow
and by some Beautiful Miracle
a rescue group called "Black Dog"
heard about them and came to
their aid.   They traveled about
1000 or more miles to get
then and bring them to Ogden.

And now until they all find homes
wonderful, loving, beautiful homes,
they will stay with us.
 
Momma took My Vickie's heart and
wrapped it around her beautiful eyes
and won her over.  Well all of us
are kind of smitten too.
 
And when you sit with this wonderful
girl and look into her eyes, even
with all the injustice you see and know
has happened to her, all you see is
"Beautiful"
 
My Vickie and I thank our Father in Heaven
every day, that we have found each other
and we wish the same gift for
Momma and her babbies.
 
Have a Beautiful Friday
Love
Bert

  2. Oh Bert my momma has tears of joy in her eyes, and those goosepimples crawling up her arms. Bless your momma and you for taking care of those babies and their mommy. There just isn't anymore words to be said.
    We are blessed to be your friends.

  7. I'm so glad you are fostering all of them, and that they are safe. We have a high kill shelter here - I share a lot of their photos on my FB page. So often I see Momma dogs brought in and all the puppies get adopted, and then poor Momma ends up on the PTS list. It absolutely breaks my heart.

  10. Bert, you and the water are definitely a beautiful sight! Nothing more beautiful than being able to truly enjoy what we love.
    Bless you for fostering Momma and her babies. You are giving them the chance of a beautiful life that otherwise would've been taken from them. Many, many paw hugs for that.
    Happy See Beautiful Day!

  21. Oh Bert, I am so happy you finally got to play in the water again! And I am so happy that sweet mamma and her babies were saved! Now those babies are growing up in such a safe, wonderful home with you and you Vickie. I just know they will all find great furever homes and I will say special prayers for them too :)

  23. In a world of irresponsible dog owners there are still some happy endings. Thank you for this most beautiful story.

  25. The first photo perfectly captured Bert's joy and made me think of the word 'exhuberance'. Momma's photo perfectly captured her patience, sweetness, and even a bit of humor. She might be a mischief maker once she doesn't have parental responsibilities :) And those puppies are everything puppies should be. I'll bet they have forever homes soon after they are weaned. Kudos to you for fostering them, we know how much work 1 puppy is, can't imagine caring for a whole litter!

  26. That is prettiest picture I've ever seen!
    Very beautiful!
