1.29.12 5:40: In Memory
My teacher - Squash E Bear
You will see that I added a Memory page to the blog yesterday. This page is to honor all the wonderful animals that have shared their time on earth with me. I have been very lucky to be the human they chose. I am a rescuer. For some, they come in their early years and get a good start; for others, they come to live out their last days, months, and some years. Many have illnesses, physical or emotional; some mend, some need lifelong care. I am blessed. They have all taught me so many lessons; unconditional love, patience, kindness, community, and caring. I will always be eternally grateful for their gifts. And, I continue to learn from the current residents of the zoo.
It’s just another DogDaz morning at my house. ❤
1.27.12 5:11: Duck!!!!
I thought that maybe if I blogged about something summerish, I could virtually escape the winter cold and feel warm again. Well, every spring the ducks decide to come and have their families under my bushes. For years I have named the pairs, Harold & Maude, Harry & Sally, Bonnie & Clyde, and it seems like they come back year after year, and their children then come too. Well, last year Maude decided instead of teaching the kids to swim in the river down the street, she would teach them in my pool. Only problem is that they were all to small to get out and they could not walk up the ladder or the steps.
Ducklings in the pool; they were to little to get out.
So, after about an hour of my whole family trying to figure out what to do, with floats, and surf boards, and whatevers, I finally made a successful exit ramp for the little family. Can you believe that they did not even say ‘good bye.’ They just waddled after Mom down the street to the river.
So I gave them a ramp to get out.
Just another DogDaz afternoon at our house. ❤
