Void Spaces
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”
Pouring Courage into One Another
I walked in the door after being away for a day and Carl was there to jump up and welcome me. I admit that I love the unsolicited encouragement that both he and Bee lavish upon me, no matter how long I have been away. Dogs are so wonderful when it comes to demonstrating theirContinue reading “Pouring Courage into One Another”
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”
Living Between Faith and Fear
Carl knew that we were leaving. He just wasn’t sure if he would be included in the departure or would be left. To improve his odds of being allowed to join us, he placed his paws in front of him and took a prayer stance. His body was shaking with fear as he waited patientlyContinue reading “Living Between Faith and Fear”

Carl, who stands only aContinue reading “The Wall of Insecurity”
Us and Them

Stuck Behind the Wall
Bee is still healing from her broken leg. There has been some improvement with the bone mending but recently an infection on her leg has caused us to be concerned. The cast has been rubbing up against her leg and intensified the infection. There are times in our lives that we are broken. It couldContinue reading “Stuck Behind the Wall”
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”
Unintended Doors
Since the season has recently changed from winter to spring, Carl has made his way outside to frolic among nature. There is not a lot of wildlife for my little Frenchie to interact with but when a squirrel makes his presence known, Carl is sure to do his best to chase him up a treeContinue reading “Unintended Doors”
