{The journey of life is sweeter when traveled with a dog.} 

I love following along on this world traveler's adventures. She recently made a trip to overseas that had me waking up every morning to see what pictures she posted and where she had been on that day's adventures. In addition to being a world traveller, this lady authored the book And Then it Rained: Lessons for Life. She is also a blogger, runner, and dog whisperer extraordinaire. Dog whisperer you ask? She also has the most BEAUTIFUL, well trained puppies. I have watched her first puppy Mia grow up singing along while her mama plays the piano. And now sweet little Ellie is learning her true talent of being a-freaking-dorable. I mean there literally was a moment ... pretty much mid shot ... when my camera fell to my hip and I impulsively picked up that little ball of fluff and breathed in all that baby puppy smell ... and pretty much forgot where I was for a minute. Embarrassing. I could have spent all night with these three ladies ... and nearly did as I kept them to just before the sun disappeared. So happy to get in some extra golden (retriever) love. xo
