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”

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”

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”

Things didn’t turn out the way thatContinue reading “Resolving Carl’s Problem”
Traveling Through The Rough Times
Carl was in a funk. Almost every waking moment he was constantly seeking out our attention. It had gotten to be pretty annoying in the last couple of days. It didn’t make any sense. We were home more now than ever before. He was getting a long walk every day and receiving more treats thanContinue reading “Traveling Through The Rough Times”
Not the Dog I Wanted
I have to confess that Carl was not the dog I wanted. I wanted the brown female dog that had died when her mother rolled on top of her. But knowing it could take a long time before a brown female was born, my husband and I settled on the fawn colored male. Earlier inContinue reading “Not the Dog I Wanted”
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”
