Bee came running inside her doggy door and immediately shook off the cold weather that had swaddled her body while she was out doing her business. Once inside, she headed directly towards her warm cozy bed that is lodged in front of the fireplace. She couldn’t get there fast enough. Instantly, she laid her pudgyContinue reading “Contemplating the Benefits of Discomfort”

Our Deepest Desire
It was clear what Carl wanted. We were sitting at the breakfast table when Carl placed his paws in my lap. Looking at me with those soulful brown eyes, if he could speak, he would be asking for some of the sausage dish that could be seen on our plates. I pushed his paws offContinue reading “Our Deepest Desire”
Outside Looking In
Carl’s nose was pressed against the French door as he watched the people inside mingling around. He wanted to come in but the electronic door wasn’t working and he seemed to be stuck on the outside. How many times have you ever felt like you were on the outside of a group or situation andContinue reading “Outside Looking In”
The Truth About Angels
Carl is no angel. He is far from it. If I get too close to him while he is dozing on the couch, I have learned that if he is irritated by my proximity, he will let out a quiet but effective growl. This is his way of letting me know that I need toContinue reading “The Truth About Angels”
Happy Birthday Carl!
Of all days to have a birthday, it is today. Carl is now four years old. I hope that this will be a special day for him, but I won’t know for sure.

Can Angels Sing?
Carl is not an angel. Far from it. Every day, my little fawn colored bully does something annoying that initiates a reprimand. 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?”
The Disenchanted
When we are in our darkest hours, we need to take our eyes off of who we want Jesus to be and place it on who Jesus is.
Left in the Manger
Carl doesn’t understand Christmas with all the comings and goings. Our schedule has changed with all the parties and people dropping off gifts. All the changes seems to have caused our pooch to become edgy and he appears to only want life to get back into a normal routine. I enjoy spending time with friends,Continue reading “Left in the Manger”
A Life Changing Dream
As I look towards the fire, I can’t help but smile at my little white dog. He is cuddled up on the couch as close to the fire as he can get. The blower to our furnace is broken, so for now, the gas fire place is the spot to be near to stay warm.Continue reading “A Life Changing Dream”
