OT: my "baby" is almost a "big boy"!
Trying to focus on depression-combating things today, so here is my best depression antidote. It's hard to believe, but Khan will be a year old in two weeks. (There's also a new family photo to give you size perspective. Clearly neither dog wanted to have a picture taken, and, no, I have not gained weight... my face looks heavier because I lost so much hair since the last one was taken.)

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Beautiful! I love white dogs.
I wanted a guard dog and considered getting a Samoyed because I just love the white coat (a friend had one a number of years ago, and he was a wonderful sweet dog but also a fierce protector), but we had Chows growing up so I am familiar with their temperament and the Chows require much less exercise than the Sammies (and since my yard is kind of small and my knees are bad that was a consideration).

OMG, I remember when he was just a puppy. So much love there, and they both are so adorable. I know you've been depressed and in pain, but your face lights up in happiness when your dogs surround you!
