An “average” day
Since I don’t have children, am not in school, and do not care for elderly parents, some people wonder what I do on the days when I’m not working. Today was a day full of strange experiences – and yet, … Continue reading

Puppy love
I participate in a meditation community where members share brief stories via email about how their practice is going. It’s a way for the individual doing the sharing to delve deeper into his/her practice, and a way for people receiving … Continue reading
A dog is a dog is a dog…right?
Today I had a rather surreal experience: While taking our two small dogs out for their afternoon jaunt, a man walking his dog approached. Once the man got within earshot he smiled at me and my pups, and pleasantly asked, … Continue reading

Today as I was getting ready to take the puppies for their morning walk, I noticed that the box of poop bags had instructions on them. For over a year (not to mention during the five years we had our … Continue reading

Reconciliation
Two years ago, I was walking our old dog Hazel down the street when an older Russian neighbor lady stopped me and said, “Don’t let dog near my yard.” Nice to meet you, too. Since that day, I made a … Continue reading
A visitor among us
I generally find people pretty fascinating, and bloggers particularly so. Individuals who maintain an active blog often do so with wonderful creativity and good-natured humor. From the gal who sees a cow every day to the guy who makes fun … Continue reading
Proud mama
At the beginning of this year I enrolled Charlie (one of our two 11-year-old puppies) in basic obedience classes. He came to us knowing his name and how to sit, but those were pretty much the extent of his direction-taking … Continue reading
Smile, kiddo.
