Shelby Farms & Family

I love my dogs.  They’re the closest thing I have to family here in Memphis.

They love me when I can’t even love myself.

Every night Paris is at my feet.  Every day when I come home from work Cheeyo jumps up on my knees, and I promise he hugs me.  They come to me when I call—most times.  And nuzzle me when I cry.

My friend and I went to Shelby Farms today to take pictures for possible Christmas cards.  Yeah, I know.  Cheesy.  But I love pictures.  I love capturing moments, especially as I age.  I’ve just come to realize how precious stills can be.



I love my dogs.  And we love Shelby Farms.  And I thank my friend for spending some time out there with me, so I can look back and remember, years and years from now, what it felt like to have them in my life and be out in the fields with them.
