Have you ever noticed how our pets don’t really care what people think about them? Or how they forgive you for leaving them alone for hours at a time? Or how they love you even on your worst of days? Couldn’t this to be a tiny glimpse of how our Father in heaven is demonstratingContinue reading “A Four Legged Form of Love”

In the Beginning
In the beginning, life appeared good. I mean just look at this picture! I’m sure you are assuming I had to be the center of my parents’ world. But that wasn’t exactly true. When I was born, I didn’t realize I was part of a group of five, with just three and a half yearsContinue reading “In the Beginning”
Vern’s Peace of Mind
Vern looked out the window of the truck, ready to hit the road. After a week of living in the basement of my daughter’s house, it was time to go home. Given all the comings and goings of little children and adults, Vern seemed happy to get back to his homestead where he could experienceContinue reading “Vern’s Peace of Mind”
Taken Up and Carried
Vern just doesn’t understand why he is unable to open the doggy door. Even though he walks up to it, nothing happens. Bee on the other hand, just has to approach the opening and the plastic sheet magically rises up long enough for her round body to enter. At first, Vern got pretty agitated withContinue reading “Taken Up and Carried”
Stepping Stones of Regrets
I have stepping stones made up of regrets that reach back into my past.
Competing for Devotion
Months have passed and we are all trying to come to terms with our new normal since Carl left. Of the three of us, little Bee has adjusted quite well.

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”
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”
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”
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”
