Carl hardly ever has his eyes totally closed when I am nearby. He is constantly on alert for any unusual movement I make. I think Carl wants to make sure he doesn’t miss out on anything fun or entertaining. No matter if he is in his bed, on the couch, or lying down on theContinue reading “Carl’s Great Escape”

Stuck Behind the Wall
Bee is still healing from her broken leg. There has been some improvement with the bone mending but recently an infection on her leg has caused us to be concerned. The cast has been rubbing up against her leg and intensified the infection. There are times in our lives that we are broken. It couldContinue reading “Stuck Behind the Wall”
Wet Paw Prints
The rain continued to beat against the window pane as Carl looked up from his bed, and then rolled over. It was clear he had no intention of jumping off, and making his way outside to do his business. For the last couple of weeks, the rain has come in waves, turning our backyard intoContinue reading “Wet Paw Prints”
Trading in Bitterness for Blessings
It was clear that Bee was bitter about her situation. It had been three weeks of hearing the casted paw clunk across the wooden floor. Bee’s freedom had been compromised and instead of free reign of going in and out, she had to have her paw wrapped before going out into the yard. As sheContinue reading “Trading in Bitterness for Blessings”

He had nowhere to go and the sleep he was going in and out of was just too enjoyable toContinue reading “Carl’s Comfort Spot”
Slammed Doors
Carl stood at the door waiting for us to call his name to come along on a journey. But today, Carl wasn’t going to be able to come. Instead of joining us for a fun episode of life, the door was shut in his face. How often do we wait at the door of opportunityContinue reading “Slammed Doors”
Stuck
Carl is stuck. It has been several nights that he has not budged from the couch. No matter what I say to him, he refuses to get up and go back to the chair that has been his bed for countless nights. I have several theories that may be causing my little guy to chooseContinue reading “Stuck”
Pushing Forward into Confidence
Carl hid behind the blanket and it was clear he didn’t want to be seen. When he heard the closing of the door, he knew he had missed his opportunity to ride in the shot gun seat in the big black truck. Instead of riding with my husband on their regular Sunday morning drive, CarlContinue reading “Pushing Forward into Confidence”
