Wonders In My World: Good-bye to Boris

Another Last Day

Yesterday was a sad day in the Morris household as we said good-bye to our BoBos. Boris Morris was with us for almost 13 years and we will miss him a lot. He was an awesome dog who gave us lots of love. He was one of my original 'babies'. The vet told us in December that we needed to pick a date in the next few months to say good-bye so we feel very lucky that the time was extended.

I love the picture of him with this big bone. My dad got both Dakota and Boris these huge bones for Christmas one year when we lived in California. So like my Dad to do something crazy like the bones and so like Boris to love eating them. I think he took over Dakota's in time.

Ameya took this picture of Boris last week. You can see he is old, tired and his body is ready. The hardest part for us is that Boris still acted in many ways like the puppy that we always knew. He still chased around the soccer ball outside and loved his walks....because there was a treat waiting. Boy could he race up the hill back to our house for that treat - even at the end.

We love you buddy. We miss you but we know that you're playing with Dakota and having a great time.

Quote - Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
