Her registered name is Earthrise Shining Angel (Earthrise being the breeding kennel's name)…but to those who love her, she’s known simply as Miss Molly.
Miss Molly is a Shetland Sheepdog…a Sheltie…and she has shared her shining angel light with us for four years now. She likes the simple things in life…a cuddle, a treat and a walk. If chasing a ball is thrown in there, so much the better. These things all make Molly deliriously happy. She’s a simple girl with simple needs and like most dogs, she innately knows that life isn’t complicated.
She knows how to love…pure and simple. She doesn’t beat around the bush. There’s no game playing. She doesn’t hint at what she wants, hoping we’ll get the message. She doesn’t wait for us to reach out to her before she leans in and presses herself close.
Her eyes say it all. Love, pure and simple.
We love you too Miss Molly!
I'm focusing on "Simple Things" today with Christina at Soul Aperture.
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Play well and be kind to one another,
Miss Molly is beautiful! Look at that face! This brings tears to my eyes, because I know this type of love.
The four legged, unconditional love.

Dogs are perfect reminders about what simple is. My dogs love unconditionally. They live in the moment. They let me know when they are happy. They lean on me. What is better than that? And you are right...no games!

Wow, that's an amazing picture. You've reminded me why I really want to get into photography -- so I can take some amazing pictures of my dog, Bella!

Molly is gorgeous!! Shelties are such cute and loving dogs. I agree, we can learn a lot from observing the animals around us. Unfortunately for we humans, our ego-mind likes to mess with us way too much at times.
