« love thursday: guest vlogger, alex »

Photographed with Nikon D300, ancient 50mm manual lens.

 I'm so swamped this week, that Alex offered to take over the Love Thursday duties for me today.  I have no idea how the child became so jaded about love (click on the small triangle at the bottom left of the black box  below to start the video):

 

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please leave your stories or your links to your images or words (or videos) about love in the comments below.

And may ... no one ... trick you with love?  Or something?

*sigh*

    I wrote a bit ago about how torn I am about moving farther away from my family. As we get closer to our moving date, that isn't changing any, and I don't think it will. It just plain sucks to be moving farther from home when you want to be moving ...

    This week, I wrote about: what happens when you mix broken hearts with broken mutts - healing. There is something very special about the way a pound puppy can help a foster child recover. It is nothing short of beautiful!

Let me add to the collective 'awwwww' of the audience! What a sweetie pie. My own two little charmers came home after a long month away with their dad, so of course I had to write about their homecoming for Love Thursday.
