52 Snapshots of Life, Week 47: Passion

This year has been the absolute worst, and I had trouble figuring out what I would post for this week's topic, "Passion", since I am not feeling very passionate about anything these days.

But, last week was the dogs' fourth birthday, and we got together with their sister, Tess to celebrate their birthday, on the beach up in gorgeous Gloucester, Massachusetts.

If it were not for these two dogs, I don't know how I would have made it through these last few months.  They are my comfort, my companions, my heart.

I have always loved the Massachusetts coast, and have been visiting the "north shore" (as we call it) and the Gloucester area ever since I can remember.

Two things that I love most of all:  my dogs, and "my" beaches.  So, here we are:  a couple photos from dog birthday party on the beach, year four!
