Waiting
Dear Louise & Sofie,
I am sorry but I can not always take the two of you with me every place that I go. I can not take you to the grocery store – they do not allow dogs in places where there is food. I can not take you to the cafe – no dogs are allowed in those types of places. I have tried to take you over to the college, but I got yelled at for having you in the building. I do not like leaving you home but sometimes I do not have a choice. The world outside our house is not always dog friendly, and they will not let me bring you in with me. I don’t like to leave you in the car because I worry that you will get to hot and die. I have a strict rule that it must be under 70 degrees (F) for you to wait in the car for me. I am sorry puppies, but sometimes you just have to be home without me. I know it is not easy to wait, but you are getting to be big girls now and you can handle it. I love you very much and will always return. – Mom

Lulu loves Mojo
It is interesting to me how animals show their likes and dislikes of other animals. Louise has been in love with the boydog next door since she first laid eyes on him. When Mo’s dad throws the frisbee, they all go running, Mo jumps in the air and catches it, and then he gives it to Louise to bring it back. We walk with Mo almost every day. Mo’s Mom tells me that when I text her phone to see if she is ready, Mo knows that it must mean we are all going walking. When my fools get loose, the one good thing is I know where they will run to, Mo’s house. I thought about teaching Lulu to ring their door bell (she is actually tall enough).that way they could just let her in — “Mojo, your girlfriend’s here!” Just another dog day morning at our house. ❤

Squash E Bear
Today is a day that I tend to reflect on things that I have lost. When I was 10 years old, my house burnt down on March 10. When I was 40 years old, my Dad went to the Great Meadow in the Sky on March 10. So, today, I am thinking about one of the great loves of my life who is gone, Squash E. Bear. It was a year last month that he left us. He was one of the most incredible dogs in the universe. I miss you big guy!
Sometimes you have an animal in your life that is just, well, different then the other animals. Some bond that is deeper, or wider, or some how more intense. That was me and my big guy. A twice a day insulin diabetic (yes, I gave him his shots for years), I became his eyes when he no longer could see, and he was my heart and soul. Just another dogdaz morning at my house. ❤
