Stopping to smell the flowers

My name is Holly & my best friend is my Rottie, Mylie. Mylie is almost 9 yrs. old & is the baby in our family. She loves mommy (me) the most & follows me everywhere. She's overcome some strange & worrisome health issues after having her spleen removed last year. We were told to prepare ourselves for the worst. But, over one year later here she is, happier than ever & stopping to smell the flowers.
