Tis the season for giving
Tis the season for receiving
So many in the world are perceiving
Choices and consequences have many grieving
Facing the ills of our nation have many packing and leaving
While the weight of these times have the dreamers receding
Just as a logger in the forrest bares down with his axe of our plight these are the facts
Tis the season for us all to see our first steps must be camaraderie
We must set aside our differences that give birth to pain
That unyielding drive which makes you only think about personal gain
The internal darkness which can drive one insane
Tis the season
Let us give a gift we each can afford
Changing our hearts and coming together in one accord
Compassion can wash us and give us the chance to renew
Now that you know there is a choice what will you do

Why Indie and Otis Came to Love OllieSupported by: Ollie
Like most dog moms, the best part of my day is the time spent with my dogs. I have an 8 year old Pittie mix named Indie and a two year old Frenchie mix named Otis. Indie is my soul dog and the love of my life. She has inspired me to become a photographer, a business owner, and a creator, among other things. She is the smartest and most loyal creature who selflessly makes sure that I’m happy above all else. Most of the time, she knows how I’m feeling before I do. When we’re together, she’s my shadow–never more than a few inches from me at all times.
