Lenten Photo Challenge: Day 16 - Beloved


Today the word is beloved. It can mean many things. I have many beloved things in my life. But today the word beloved belongs to these furry children of mine. Gunnar and Astrid. These guys give me so much joy. They can also be a pain in my side but more often than not, they are my beloved "woofer pup" and "spazzy-pants".

My house would not be a home without them.
