Happiness is...

We are blessed that Paz is such a sweet natured dog! I'm not sure how that will play into her future role as a bomb sniffer, but it has certainly made fostering her a joy! If your about my age, you might remember a Charles Schultz book called Happiness Is a Warm Puppy. Too true! Having Paz around has certainly made us happy!

Paz is just naturally happy. For her, life itself seems to be a wonderful adventure to be savored and enjoyed. Today was another awesome day full of new things that Paz seemed to love! In honor of that spirit, this post will be all about things that make Paz happy. So here goes: Happiness is...

A REALLY muddy culvert to be explored!

Going to School!

Paz really enjoys going up to the high school where I teach. She explores the hallways, climbs the stairs, and visits classes. Today, Paz attended Canine Science classes. The students were learning about the major muscle groups in dogs, and Paz became a living model! She happily allowed the students to tape the names of the muscles in the correct location all over her. At one point, she had 13 name cards on various parts of her body. Hats off to the teacher for developing such a great, hands on lesson!

It's pretty obvious that fostering Paz has brought our family lots of happiness!
