I had this post written title one other time. I wrote it about being convinced I heard Boomer, my English Bulldog, after he passed away. I realize now that the things that go bump in the night is usually me. The biggest obstacle I’ve had, since I moved in the condo, is I sleep on the other side of the bed then I use to for the last 25 years. I always slept on the left side which, for all…
I’ve waited for days like this. To sit, look out the window, watch the water, drink my coffee and write my blog. I think I’ve finally come to the point where I’ve annoyed my mom. Yesterday when I talk to her I said I’m just so happy and she said I know I know I know LOL The dogs are adjusting well, but find two aspects difficult. We lived in an apartment in someone’s home, now I live in the…
First I wish everyone a very merry Christmas. Where I am, it’s a white Christmas. I woke up to this… However beautiful today is, it also marks a year since my Boomer passed away. He was my first dog I ever had. It hit me very hard when he passed because I wasn’t expecting it. He waited for me to come home and I was so fortunate to see his last breath leave his body. At the time I didn’t…
It’s Friday again. That was fast. These weeks seem to be speeding up. Could you believe Christmas is a week from Monday?Didn’t we just say it’s the last month of the year? In 16 days is the new year. On Monday, Zoey, my French Bulldog, will be with us for a year already. Unfortunately, Christmas Day, marks a full year that my Boomer, my 70 pound English bulldog, has been gone a full year. One happy and one sad. My…
On Sundays I usually like to post a recipe or maybe a song. Sunday’s I don’t usually write a long winded blog. The problem is is I really haven’t cooked because I’ve been packing and I really couldn’t think of a good song that I wanted to post. I figured today maybe I would just tell you what a Sunday tradition is in my house that’s been around for a very long time. Marrow bone Sundays and cinnamon in my…
I’m 15 workbook lessons from the end of my year doing A Course in Miracles. Not that it means anything really because on day 366, I’m just going to start again. Why? Because now my mind is trained differently and I’ll understand the lessons differently. I’ve learned some amazing things over the year, about myself, miracles, my relationship with God and forgiveness. I felt like telling the story of my most amazing miracle this year, which was my puppy Zoey….
Happy 4th of July to everyone. It’s a beautiful day and everyone is probably thinking about BBQ and fireworks, I’m thinking about my dog, Boomer, who passed away in December. He hated this holiday and I always wanted to stay near him because of his reaction to the noise. My 70lb English Bulldog would jump in my lap, cowering, crying and shaking. Some years we even tried to give him treats or meds that would calm him down, nothing worked….
He was a dog. He was my first dog. He wasn’t here yesterday to celebrate Marshy’s 8 birthday and I missed him. He will never be replaced. No dog can ever be him. I want to kiss his head one more time. I want to hug him around the neck, tell him how much I love him. He is missed. He will always be missed. There will never be another Boomer. That’s all I felt like saying today.
Good morning and happy Sunday. I had a very beautiful Course of Miracles lesson today: By grace I live, by grace I am released By grace I give, by grace I will release Today my sister is having a memorial for my deceased dog Boomer. My sister, mom and step dad don’t really love animals. They understand that I love my dogs and they all understood how my heart broke when Boomer died. As my sister said it, my soul…
Yesterday was a little better than the day before. Today my heart just feels very heavy. My sister said something to me when she first heard that was very profound and meant the most to me, “you connect with the souls of animals. The friendship and companionship you find in them is as deep as some of my human friends.” I never had many friends but I’ve had many pets. I’ve had rabbits, 6 cats and 3 dogs. I would…
