Today Elliott and I went on an adventure with our pal Meghan and her family to the Southeastern Guide Dog facility. They invite people and kids to come in and help socialize their puppies that will become guide dogs. It was absolutely amazing to know that we were doing something positive for these puppies who would one day help a person in need. And yet...those puppies did something for us too. As soon as we arrived and saw the puppies, we got so excited. There really is not much better then a pile of puppies. Elliott got to be right there with us as they let the puppies into the room where we sat on the floor and just played with them. He laughed and screeched. He crawled towards them and put his hand out to touch them. Everyone there was so nice and brought the puppies right over to Elliott and made sure he didn't get hurt by any of them. He laughed the most when the 5 week old puppy (that only he got to touch!!!) nibbled on his little fingers. Elliott feeds off of my joy and I thrive off of his. This is a cycle we will live in forever. Those puppies gave us yet another reason to laugh and smile and appreciate the beauty of moments. They gave us a special memory and filled our hearts with good.
This was an amazing day!!! Thank you for sharing it with us.
