Snapshot Saturday - The biggest baby at my house :)

 

My Layla and I are best pals...a quick nap each afternoon helps me shed the stress of the day and enjoy the rest of the afternoon/evening with my family.  Layla seems to know that this routine is good for me.  If I start doing something else before our nap, she will go over to the couch, sit and wait for me...while staring at me and following me with those big soulful German Shepherd eyes as if to remind me that I must take time for myself.

 

Have I mentioned that I love my dog? :)

 

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce @ At Home with Books
