do you know that this photo was taken exactly 6 years ago! atlas hasn't changed much; no wonder people still think he's a puppy. he is still cute. he still likes sticks. he still doesn't understand how to pose for photos of me + him. i, on the other hand, have lost some hair, gained some weight, and added some lines to my face. i blame atlas. hee.
happy thanksgiving, dear blog readers, from puppy and me. we appreciate your visits and comments oh-so-much.
my thanksgiving offering - a quote from meister eckhart:
"if the only prayer you said in your whole life was thank you, it would be enough."
The same thing happened to me these past six years as well :) Happy Thanksgiving- Lib.. Enjoy the season...

What a beautiful Thanksgiving message -- and I cannot believe how little Atlas has changed in 6 years! You should maybe bottle some of that love you are giving him. That must be his secret ;)

Happy Thanksgiving! I noticed your RedBubble shop on the side bar. Does that work pretty good for you. Right now, I'm getting a few requests on certain photos, so I'd like an easy way for people to buy them if they are interested. I'll look more into it when I have time, just curious how it works for you.

Happy Thanksgiving, Elizabeth! One of the blessings this year for me has been meeting you and being able to read your blog!!!
BTW, I think Eckhart Tolle was quoting Meister Eckhart...... Both are great.
Love you!

@lori: thank you! i saw that name with the quote in a few places, but figured eckhart tolle = meister eckhart. clearly i was mistaken. ;) i changed it to give credit where credit was due. (and now i found a new quote person - yay!)

I hope you had a wonderful thanks giving. I don't see much change in you or atlas and you would have fooled me if you said that photo was recent.
