Carl has been a sleep on the couch all morning. He has barely stirred. I hope that he is okay but only time will tell. Unlike people, Carl is unable to share with me how he feels or what he is thinking. I can only guess that he is well and just enjoying the warmthContinue reading “Speechless”

Vulnerable
Carl is beginning to pipe up and has started that annoying howl that has gotten him in lots of trouble in the recent past. I am not sure why he has started to make this obnoxious noise except that he wants my attention. For the last couple of days, I have been very attentive towardsContinue reading “Vulnerable”
Wavering Faith
Carl is out with his human dad buying a snow shovel. The guys already have cabin fever after only a couple of hours of snow that could paralyze our community for the next few days. Carl is not much a fan of the snow but he wasn’t going to pass up a chance to spendContinue reading “Wavering Faith”
The Power of a Name
Carl has been away for over a week. He has taken up residence with my daughter’s family. I got a text from her stating that her children didn’t want to let him go.

The Gift of Friendships
Poor Carl. He was barred from his bed and once again had to sleep on the couch. Bee, stood in the doorway and made it crystal clear that he was not going to enter. So instead of experiencing the abuse of the Frenchie, he turned and walked down the darkened hallway to sleep alone. IContinue reading “The Gift of Friendships”
In the Middle
He was in a pickle. Carl wanted to go outside but he was afraid if he did so, he would miss out on something. A treat, a chance to lay in front of the fire, or the attention that he always craves. So instead of crawling through the doggy door to the world, he stoodContinue reading “In the Middle”
Carl’s Kingdom
Carl has his own kingdom. He has a throne that he rests upon each night and a couple of subjects that meet all of his needs. If he needs a bath, he has a handmaiden to give him a thorough cleaning. He has the finest of canine food that is portioned out every day forContinue reading “Carl’s Kingdom”
