Quick live study of Emmett's beautiful ruff and cape. He and I share our special time before beddie bye and I was admiring his lovely fur. Wanting to capture the essence of what I saw as his 'clothing' draped around his shoulders, I grabbed the pencil and notepad I keep by my bed. 
***Sometimes I wonder... why do I have such a devoted companion as Emmett? I surely don't deserve his love, but he must see something deep within me as he stares into my soul. Though feeling unworthy, receprical love dwells in my heart for my small fuzzy partner.
***When he rests his little head so trustingly on my lap, there can be no evil in my world. God shows me His love and comforting presence in this. "Trust Me, like he trusts you.... Love Me, like he loves you. If one little dog can offer so great a gift as these, how much more so do I and so should you." Such is this that God speaks to my heart. All will be okay..... so says the soft brown eyes, deep as the deepest pools, of my truest friend.
