Dog or God?

Of the nearly 50 posts I’ve written for this blog, this one is among the hardest. When I started writing, I had a goal to be “paws-itive” and inspirational. While that has not changed, this post feels heavy on my heart, yet it’s begging to get out. And so it goes . . . AContinue reading “Dog or God?”

The Winner In Me

After a streak of 35 consecutive posts, I missed a day! I was sitting at my desk, the computer in front of me, scrolling on my phone, playing pool (I won the Singapore Tournament) and watching Facebook videos. Although I had been sitting at the desk for more than 1.5 hours, I had not evenContinue reading “The Winner In Me”

Anticipation Is Making Me Wait

In the mid 1970’s, Heinz had some cool commercials where people eagerly awaited the ketchup’s emergence from the bottle as Carly Simon sang the song “Anticipation” in the background. Heinz’s message was that they were so good, it would be worth the wait. This commercial and the song kept running though my mind this eveningContinue reading “Anticipation Is Making Me Wait”

Over the River and Through the Woods

COVID-19 may be keeping you from Grandmother’s house this year, but it doesn’t mean you don’t have plans to travel with your dog. Three weeks ago, Tony and I made a daytrip further south for a socially distant visit with family. Because we had only had Bruno for a week, we thought it would beContinue reading “Over the River and Through the Woods”

Cookie Mom-ster

To say I love baking cookies would be an understatement. I REALLY love baking them! Over the years, I am sure I have baked thousands of them. There is a special joy in sharing homemade goodness by the handful – no fork required, no dishes to wash! My favorite cookies to bake are my grandmother,Continue reading “Cookie Mom-ster”

Tangled Tongue Tuesday

The doggone dog dug dark, damp dirt all darn day. The doggone dog dug dark, damp dirt all darn day. The doggone dog dug dark, damp dirt all darn day.

Dog Lovers Unite!

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind. Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?” I used to love this song, Signs, written by Les Emmerson and performed by Five Man Electrical Band. It is a catchy tune with thought-filled lyrics. Check it out! https://youtu.be/c9lh7lqZojc Today is ElectionContinue reading “Dog Lovers Unite!”

All Hail the Queen!

She looks innocent enough, but that’s part of her plan! Queen Latifah was raised with three brothers and she learned to hold her own. When the litter of puppies was born, this powerhouse was so petit, but never fragile. As they grew, she was playful and feminine. Once the puppies moved from bottles to food,Continue reading “All Hail the Queen!”

My, oh my! How Time Flies!

The picture on the left always makes me smile. Too $hort was 17 days old, the shortest in his litter, born with a corkscrew tail, and fussy about the temperature of his formula. Since that didn’t bother me, Tony put me in charge of his meals. Actually, I enjoyed feeding him. Keeping him satisfied helpedContinue reading “My, oh my! How Time Flies!”

Do Not Disturb

Watching Missy nurse her puppies was always relaxing. I would dim the lights and prepare the wading pool for the puppies. The puppies slept in a puppy box, so they would get moved to the pool first, and would be joined by Missy to start the feeding. As they nursed, Missy would clean them andContinue reading “Do Not Disturb”
