A decade of Sunny days

Ten years ago today, Sunny joined our family. She’s been through a lot, and I‘m pretty sure she won’t still be here next year because of her new health challenge. There have been plenty of days over the past few months when I thought she was on her way out, only to see her rebound each time. That won’t continue, and she’s definitely not as full of life as she was. Still, ten years ago today she joined our family and, to borrow a TV commercial’s line, isn’t that wonderful?

The photo up top is of the moment she first set paw in our house on December 21, 2010. I used it in the blog post about Sunny’s arrival. I still have the outdoor umbrella stand to the left of the doorway, but it doesn't look as new anymore.
