This card jumped out at me a few years back – because we had a Komondor, Marley. He was funny, brave, gentle and a real character! He was the inspiration for many a story.

Spread Joy

A friend surprised us yesterday by leaving a Christmas arrangement with a card outside of our door. It reminds me how much these thoughtful gestures spread joy. Whether big or small, today, let us all pass along an act of love and kindness to a friend or family member and make their day.
