what can i say? she's just the cutest! and she makes me laugh (all the time). i really can't look at her without smiling. yes, that's right...i'm a proud (dog) mom. my (dog) baby, olive, is just the sweetest. craig, my fiance, and i adopted her last november, and she's been making us laugh ever since.

whenever she's outside, she just has boundless joy. sometimes i watch her and am awed (and a little jealous) at how little it takes for her to have an absolute blast. olive really knows how to make the most of simple pleasures. a walk. time spent outside. watching a bird or squirrel. greeting a loved one when they come home. way to go olive. you're totally zen and you don't even try to be. you're really much more advanced than the rest of us : )

what you can't hear (because i dubbed over my voice with the cute music) is that during this entire video (yes, the entire 2 minutes) i'm asking olive to "roll over". which, as you can see, she decides she'd rather not do...

here's hoping this video leaves you smiling : )
