This has been my brave week of letting go ‘things’ I love dearly. I learned on Tuesday that my nearly 13 year old ‘pup’s’ distended belly was not weight gain, but a malignant tumor. Worse, the compassionate gesture was to let him go to the Angels. My grief hit me like a canon ball to [...]
....maybe I'm in need of a Cool Off at this point in my day. My dog Ernie woke me by jumping on my bed, (pretty much not allowed) at 5am. I remember seeing a small tick on my sheets the other evening after he did the same thing and POPPED out of bed this morning [...]
Not just any dog...one of MY dogs. I've begun posts and abandoned them of late...my groove is shifting as am I. Like plates on the earth, my worlds are overlapping. I can't seem to get enough sleep and am easily distracted, not off my game, but rather, my 'game' is changing. This I know [...]

All there for us, for the taking if we can REMEMBER..... How I love dogs. They are so IN THE MOMENT and FULL of joy. And how beautifully emphasized, showcased in this delightful Christmas spirited Harry Connick Jr. video and song with Bailey the Reindeer Pup! And FYI....in Montana, where my family resides, 35 below [...]
I am considering that I might need to embrace rather than scorn the sleep that won't come to me. Perhaps I'm supposed to lie awake to hear something which I can't hear in my sleep. Maybe I'm like a new mother, having just given birth or about to give birth to something new and spectacular [...]
