Day 8 Photography Challenge - SELFIE

 
The Selfie
A silly name for a silly practice
 
But every now and then,
maybe it's good to take a long hard look at yourself
to see how you've evolved.

The Life of Riley

So after Dad passed we gave Mom a pup -
a little abused breeder 7 year old, 7 pound yorkie
named Filoe, now named Riley,
 from a busted puppy mill in -
 get this - "Collins", Missouri. 
Nothing can replace a shared life of 60 years
but this little pup filled the void of "something to care about" in her daily life. 
It was a match made in heaven. 
 Mom now walks him 3 times a day. 
She has made a whole new circle of "dog" friends.
Riley travels everywhere with her -
whether allowable or not -
in the grocery store,
 in her purse while at church
and at every family gathering. 
As she said, "I didn't rescue him, he rescued me".
But ironically on her last visit to my home,
 she was surprised to see no framed photo of my new dog brother. 
"No pictures of him???"
Are you kidding????
He has become my favorite "subject"
A 7 pound gift of Joy!













A BASKET OF RILEY!

Loved at Last!!!
