Those are cute pictures, Shawn!!And it got me thinking, I don't think I've ever shown pictures of my husband and kids to my Treeleaf family. So here are some pictures. The picture with my kids and the white dog was taken right before he died. We took him to the park and gave him one last good memory. Very hard day
Our new dog (Yoshi) is the puppy my youngest son is posing with. And you can tell my youngest son likes to either make funny faces, or hide his face completely when it's time for a picture.

Thank you for your responses, everyone. They are quite the little Buddhas, full of energy and the youngest is quite fond of testing his parents on a daily basis. =)

The first one looks like a wolf. The second like an angry bear. In the third one he is saying "now it's your turn, show me what you got." Or maybe not. Just a dog having fun in the snow.

I don't encourage keeping animals in cages, but the educational value for my kids won this time. They wanted pets so bad! So now they learn how to take care of them gradually. Ever curious this little fellow became my friend over the last few weeks

I sat yesterday for more than an hour and I was in a peaceful place in my space in the basement and I believe sitting is working for me now, and thought I would say that I have not participated in the group on Saturday, I always try to sit with the video on Google plus. I am happy. I almost went with a private Zen priest a few weeks ago but I think I have done the right thing staying with Treeleaf.

Hi Elgwyn,
Wonderful. But remember that Zazen is still good even when not so peaceful! (We are strange that way).
Also, not sure what you mean by a "private Zen priest", but always fine to sit here and elsewhere too.

The priest said he would take me on to study Zen on Skype with him, and I decided to continue with Treeleaf Zendo. I don't want to rush things and I feel more comfortable as a junior member of Treeleaf.

granny with bodhi.jpg
This is my dear granny, my dear friend, my trusted teacher who left this world this month. I took this photo last year when I went and visited her ... she had a way with animal, a clear and kind heart. You see, my dog Bodhi who is on her lap is a rescue from Mexico. I had been working with him as he was afraid of his own shadow, but that day when I took granny out for some Starbucks (she loved a good cup of Earl Grey and a scone) he just climbed up onto her lap and laid down - It brought happy tears to my eyes. =)
From that moment Bodhi and I spent time chatting with the other folks in the care facility and that little guy shined. It was amazing to see the transformation and the joy it brought. So I decided to work towards getting Bodhi trained as a companion dog ... we are still in the process as his confidence still needs some work, but he is doing amazing, truly coming into his own. Part of my goal/practice is to share this little guys beautiful spirit with folks who are maybe feeling alone or need a smile on their face and in their hearts. =)
