Poor Carl. He has been removed once more. First he was taken from his home where he resides as the king and taken to my daughter’s home for the week we were on vacation. After spending less than two days with her family, he was taken to doggy daycare to finish out his days untilContinue reading “Void Spaces”

A Walk For Faith
Carl and I are very different when it comes to walks. Our little dog absolutely loves to go out into the world and stroll down any path or road near our house. It doesn’t matter how long he and my husband go or even what the temperature is. Just call Carl’s name and follow itContinue reading “A Walk For Faith”
The Last Will Be First
Carl hasn’t been challenged that much in life. Every day, he has a similar routine that begins with a walk, lunch, sleeping in the sun, dinner, and then finding a good spot to spend the night. Every once in a while, his routine is broken up but nothing to get his panties tied in aContinue reading “The Last Will Be First”
The Passing of a Loved One
Carl’s friend Leo had to be put down today. Leo was a very special dog. I know because we had the privilege of taking care of him for six weeks while his human family transitioned into their new home. Leo had a way of letting you know that you were loved. People tell us thatContinue reading “The Passing of a Loved One”
Christmas Preparations
Carl moved into the narrow kitchen space and looked up at me with his deep brown eyes. It was clear what he wanted. Any kind of morsel would do but he definitely favored the salty taste of meat. Since I have been spending more time in the kitchen to prepare for Christmas, Carl and BeeContinue reading “Christmas Preparations”
Staying Put
Carl stayed put. He didn’t seem in the least bit interested in moving from his bed. He was cold and didn’t want to take a chance at losing the little warmth that his body had generated throughout the night. Little did he know that even though the heat wasn’t working, there was a little fireplaceContinue reading “Staying Put”
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. Instead of enjoying the day with him, we are headed to Washington D.C. with our grandchildren and Carl is staying at SuiteContinue reading “Happy Birthday Carl!”
Transferring the Heart from One to Another- A Good Hug
It was like a need was being met by transferring the heart of one to another.
Our Unfulfilled Purpose
Carl doesn’t care too much about anything but getting his needs met. Two meals, water, a place to sleep and lots of stroking are all the essentials to a happy life. For the most part, this is the same for all dogs. They go through life doing what they are intended for, being loved andContinue reading “Our Unfulfilled Purpose”
The Brutality of Disappointment
Disappointment could be clearly seen plastered across Carl’s face. I didn’t have time to take him for his walk and as he followed me around the house, he shared with me his pitiful frustrated state of mind. He knew when I put my tennis outfit on instead of my walking clothes that I was goingContinue reading “The Brutality of Disappointment”
