Carl didn’t realize when he plopped his body up on the red vinyl surface and made himself comfortable that he was adding to the memories that had already existed from sitting on the bold red couch. This particular piece of furniture had been bought as a pair and first made its way into our livesContinue reading “Memories from the Red Couch”

The Fake Turtles of Life
I need to look at my own heart and how many fake turtles I have pursued at the expense of letting the real thing hop by me.
Held Captive
I call it “stinkin thinkin”. Those words that run across the teleprompter of our brain and won’t stop playing.
Our Mighty Warrior
I thought something was strange the first morning when I went out onto the back porch. Carl’s treat container was turned on its side and crumbs were scattered on the table. But it was the next morning that I knew the unwelcomed guest had returned. Crumbs were all over the table and almost all ofContinue reading “Our Mighty Warrior”

Either way, when he gets out of his lane, it makes walking the bullies awkward for all of us.Continue reading “Getting Out of Our Lane”
Can Angels Sing?

He wants to please but his desire for attention can out way any good intention. Just yesterday, he jumped up and nipped my knee which wasn’t pleasant in the least. Even though heContinue reading “Can Angels Sing?”
