Today, I’m having surgery to remove by thyroid due to cancer. These are my personal thoughts as I go through this day.

Living in a Blessing
It has been a couple of days to digest my new truth and I must admit that I feel like I’m living in a blessing. Again, I want to preface this with the fact that my journey is unique to me and as everyone has pointed out, if you’re to have cancer, thyroid cancer isContinue reading “Living in a Blessing”
Forgiveness
Vern’s feelings were hurt. Bee had snapped after a game of sniffing and playing with their chewed up bone. Why wouldn’t Bee play? She was always wanting to rest on her bed or sit at the door to wait for the humans to come in for a good head scratching. But that last growl wasContinue reading “Forgiveness”
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”
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”
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”
Caged Anger
Bee, my other French Bull dog would not stop barking. Carl and I were at a neighbor’s house and I couldn’t concentrate due to the constant high pitched bark that was coming from my yard. I had an idea of what she was barking at but wouldn’t know for sure until Carl and I wentContinue reading “Caged Anger”
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”
