Today, Carl was a mess as we walked around the neighborhood. It seemed every time we turned a corner, there was a four legged pooch ready for an interaction with my dog. The problem is that Carl has yet to learn that he is not the king of the hill and all dogs are notContinue reading “Categories of the Mind”

An Unpredictable God
One thing that I can tell you about Carl is that he is predictable. Just as I sat down to write this blog, I knew that he would come up and start scratching my leg for the ongoing attention he craves. Earlier this morning, I left Carl inside the fence to go water the gardenContinue reading “An Unpredictable God”
In the Details
Every day, Carl waits patiently for his food. He doesn’t see the food until I place it in his dish, but even so, he knows it is coming. Every once in a while when I forget to open the huge metal can and scoop a portion for him, he will remind me by bellowing outContinue reading “In the Details”
A Small Jar of Oil
2 King 4: 1-2 “The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.” Elisha replied to her, “How can I helpContinue reading “A Small Jar of Oil”
Glamping with Carl
Glamping with Carl has its own unique challenges. Our little camper found its way to Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia. This cool park is known for stones that can be found only in a couple of places in the world. The hilly incline and tall oaks surrounded us during our stay. Temperatures were unusuallyContinue reading “Glamping with Carl”
The Power of a Voice
Carl has been screeching for some reason for the last couple of minutes. It may be that he wants my attention or that he wants to be fed. But for whatever reason, his familiar voice can be clearly heard by everyone in proximity of our home. Everyone who lives close to us, knows this voice.Continue reading “The Power of a Voice”
Taking a Ride with God
I know that some of you are wondering why in the world Bee is riding in a buggy. Well first of all, she is my baby (ba-Bee). Second, if you look closely, her snout is pressed close to her face which doesn’t give her the airway that her brother Carl has. Lately, we haveContinue reading “Taking a Ride with God”
On Hands and Knees
This time I had to defend Carl in the incident that occurred in the depths of the night. I had an idea by Bee’s behavior that there would be an episode but I was just too tired to get out of bed to deal with it. I wish I had at least tried to stopContinue reading “On Hands and Knees”
A Carl Pop
Carl refused to move. It was clear that he was cold because his entire body shook but never the less, he wouldn’t budge. This was a particularly cold day with temperatures in the low 20’s and I didn’t want to stand there and argue with my little bull headed bully. Being hard headed is oneContinue reading “A Carl Pop”
Speechless
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”
