Round Robin Photo Challenge-"Reflection"

Cheryl at http://boiseladie.blogspot.com/ choose a fun topic "Reflection." I had two entries because I could not make up my mind.

This is Manny, my 1st love. He is sixteen and a black lab/border collie/cocker. He was given to me when I first retired, for companionship by a neighbor. He was already 5 and well trained. It took me one month to un-train him. LOL He took the other side of my lonely California king and had his own pillow. He was my constant companion and caregiver. I was single and did not date for 12yrs because I thought it would be selfish, if I was going to die. If I had any idea I would still be here I would have dated, but I had my God dog. Manny started to notice me struggling to rise from my low couch and sat in front of me with a cocked head. One day, as I was on my third try getting up, Manny nosed my arm and I put my hand behind his neck. He went totally stiff in the sit position, which allowed me to use him to pull myself up. He almost never hogged the remote, but did track in mud. (who says I had no man!). When I would fall from time to time, he would bark and pace. Never leaving my side. Once I got stuck in my shower for four hours. Manny barked, paced and laid outside the door until I was out. He still lays outside my shower to this day. Now I watch over him. He is hard of hearing, can't see well through the cloudy blue in his eyes and sleeps a lot.
He still can be found by my side, he can be jealous of Dave and will wake up to guard my little dog in the dark if she needs to tinkle late at night. This is a reflection of unconditional love :)

This is my grandson and daughter looking at each other with love in a mirror. He loves looking at himself. I call this a reflection of love :) Go check out other reflections!
