If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
The you I've come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a girl could be in two places at one time
I'd be with you tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

As the "About Time" litter nears their 3rd Birthday, I think back and wonder how time could have passed so quickly. I still remember bringing 'Sheadog' home from Peri's house and knowing my life would never be the same -- and it hasn't! There was an immediate connection that couldn't be described, and from then on, that bond has only grown stronger. I thank God (and Tim, Peri and Sandi :)) for every day I have with my boy, and everything that they've given me in him.

He is a remarkable boy, who has shown promise in everything he's tried -- his all time favorite being Flyball. Obedience and Agility will be our main focus in the near future, possibly even some Herding!

Shea is happiest at home sitting on the couch in my lap being cuddled and hugged. He loves hugs so much that he has the adorable tendency to close his eyes and try to fall asleep with his head resting on your shoulder -- something he has done since the day I brought him home! His favorite things to do include swimming, shredding anything cardboard, chasing his lazer, and gawking over how amazing little dogs are.

He is also my little "tattle tail". There have been instances he see's one of his canine house mates getting into something he KNOWS they shouldn't be doing, and he'll find me and rat 'em out. Gotta love him!

He may be an oversized lapdog by trade, but don't let it fool you.. this guy has ATTITUDE! He lives for adventure and enjoys anything that gives him a workout -- physically and mentally.

Through the short, almost 3 years I've had Shea, the way he has influenced me has been life changing. He opened me up to an entirely different world, and we've both gained some lasting friendships, and somewhat of a second family. He helped me through one of the hardest times of my life, and convinced me that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. He is a godsend in every meaning of the word, and I couldn't possibly thank Tim, Peri, and Sandi enough.
