De-Light of our Life

You know the couple who has raised their children and finally get close to the empty nest stage and turn up pregnant? Let me stop the thoughts flying through your collective brains and say - no, this is not a birth announcement.  But you know them, maybe you were those people.  The ones who swore they were done with babies and end up with one more.  

They really didn't want another baby, they were too old, too done with raising kids, over it, completely and totally.  And yet, when the new baby arrives they find it to be the light of their lives.

Well, in doggy terms, that is what Layla is to us.  De-Light of our life due to her silly wiggle butt ways.  Hank is channeling his pure and joyful being through her and taught her to poke me with her nose.  And Pete, liver treats, OMG, liver treats channels his happy attitude as well.  Mick tried to channel dignity and reserve to her, but it was a lost cause.  What she lacks in dignity and reserve, she makes up in enthusiasm and excitement.  Kobe is probably just happy he missed out on the commotion she creates.  On a daily basis, I might add.

Funny how good things come into our life this way.  Like gangbusters they roll in and bring us more than we could ever hope for.  I hope you have your own "Layla" to enchant, delight and keep things from ever being dull around you.
