I call them Beauty and the Beast. Zinnia is a privileged princess, Bud is so ugly he is adorable.

I can’t help but smile when I see this unlikely pair together, which is often the case around here. They are pretty close to inseparable.

I hope they make you smile too. When we stop smiling, we are in trouble. And I see that Zinnia is a “smile,” dog, wherever she goes people smile. This is a good trait in a therapy dog.

Both of these dogs come along on our morning chore run. So I hope the make you smile like they make me. Therapy dogs can work from home.
