New Year’s Eve Resolution

The beautiful sunset on the beach last night seemed to be a perfect picture for the sunset on 2010.

As always, at the dawn of the new year, humans tend to make resolutions for what will make them a better person.  Within our Herd, there is the perfect symbol for the resolution that our hu-dad embraces.

Be true to yourself and don't worry about what others think.

Have a Happy and Safe New Year’s!  May 2011 bring you good fortune, great health, and much happiness!

    Better advice has never been given. Once again, the dogs have it! Canine wisdom is the best kind.

    I hope you have a very happy New Year!

    Somehow we are not surprised that Rusty has a great lesson to share with us – a tough one for the humans to accomplish.

    Happy New Year.

    3 simple words, relating to Rusty & life in general, that sum it all up “That’s just awesome!”.
    Happy New Year to the Herd & I can’t wait to see what excitement 2011 brings to the blog!
    Have a safe evening!

    An excellent bit of advice and something we should all strive towards! I never get tired of seeing Rusty pull that move! It looks just as good in the sand as it does in the snow.

    May 2011 smile upon you as well!

    I love those words of wisdom. So simple, yet sometimes so hard to do!

  22. Fiona on December 31, 2010 at 9:42 am

    Happy New Year to you – and may you find lots of snow when you get home (but not so much that your Dad has to clear the driveway before you can get in the house! :-))
