The human heart beats 100,000 times a day, propelling six quarts of blood through 60,000 miles (97,000 kilometers) of vessels—20 times the distance across the U.S. from coast to coast. The blood flows briskly, surging out of a ten-ounce (0.3 kilograms) heart so forcefully that large arteries, when severed, can send a jet of blood several feet into the air. (Wikipedia)

a mechanical heart beat
radiating love

as they shared loving looks or contented coos.

Judy and Max … I have nominated you for The Candlelighter Award.
You can find more information about the award, started by Kate Kresse at Believe Anyway. All you have to do is receive the award, copy and paste The Candlelighter Award photo from my site to yours. Once you have done that, you can then pass the award along to others.

Forever her friend

Tallulah will show the way
To a perfect beat
