I Heart Willow

{Warning, the following post is dog-photo-heavy.  If you are averse to super cute dogs, you'd best walk away from your computer now.}

I am posting a little tribute to my best girl Willow today, in honor of the fact that she came into our lives 2 years ago.  We adopted her from a rescue in Manhattan when she was about 7-ish years old.  We're not really sure how old she is or what kind of dog she is, but I can tell you that she is the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dog ever!  She was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn and we don't know anything about where she came from or how she got lost or maybe even abandoned (ugh).

Here are the photos that sealed our fate.  I saw them while trolling the interwebs looking for a dog to adopt.  They were taken at the rescue...she looks like she is saying, "please take me home".

We took her home with us 2 days later. She was so timid and skinny when we first got her. I was so happy that I cried as we walked her out of the rescue.  Seriously.

Here are some of my favorite photos of her from the past 2 years.

She loves to pose for me, especially with the wind in her ears (bottom left!).

She'll even wear hats, antlers, raincoats, pretty much anything (except boots...I will have to post that video someday).

She'll travel with us anywhere.

From New Jersey...

...to Maine.

She's a very sleepy girl and a couch monkey.

Have you had enough?  OK, here is one more...

Have a great weekend!
