Loyalty

July 25

I am thankful for loyalty. The loyalty of friends, the loyalty of loved ones, and perhaps the loyalty of some people unknown to you for being true to integrity and principles, stands out as one of life's most enjoyable things - to know that someone always cares enough for you that they will stand by you through molasses and water (thick and thin).

This is my dog Cupcake and I. She follows me around everywhere I go and lies at my feet. It is certainly gratifying to know that my dog thinks so much of me that she wants to follow in my footsteps. I can't think of a single person that does that! True loyalty and unconditional love. No matter what I do or don't do, she will look at me with those big brown eyes, smile, wag her tail, and look like she's thinking: I love my master! (Notice how I covered up myself with the newspaper? Cupcake doesn't care that I am overweight, or wrinkled, or gray headed, but certainly my ego does). This photo was taken using my new remote radio controlled shutter trigger with my camera on a tripod. The controller is in my left hand.
