Do you know the kind of people that walk into a room and seem to completely fill the air with their goodness?
The kind that are attractive in every way- not just physical beauty, but their whole person just draws people in?
The kind that bring light and life wherever they go, whatever the circumstance?
Well, that’s Shirley. She’s a 150 pound English Mastiff that was named after Shirley Temple because of the way she captures the hearts of young and old, boy or girl.
She’s an inspiration everyday!
She’s awake when I am curled up in bed and don’t want to come out. And, she supports me if I want to stay there or motivates me if I want to get up.
She looks at me with loving eyes even when I might not be loving myself. Her honesty is more powerful than my doubt.
She hugs me when I think no else would want to and I don’t have to ask her to do it or tell her that I need it. She just knows.
She never asks the question “Why?” Not because she knows the answer but because she feels the answer.
She’s a constant companion. You never, ever think of yourself without her. It’s always…
