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 coming back in my next life as my own dog, what a life they have. Every morning I wake up and before I even get out of bed, it’s morning puppy time. It’s scratching bellies and behind the ears with smooches on the head. Then it’s yum yum time. A phrase both dogs know means food. Zoey jumps out of bed for the preparation of her yum yums. Marshmallow is getting older, he comes when it’s ready. After breakfast…
“Zoey No, Zoey leave it”, two phrases I repeat at least fifty times by noon. Zoey’s 13 month birthday was yesterday, isn’t it supposed to be better now? I guess it is, she stopped eating the coffee table and my dining room chairs. She also stopped eating the tote that holds her toys. However, she is still a very large fan of coffee and if I forget and leave my coffee on the couch unguarded, she knocks it over to…
Happy Birthday to this special puppy. Zoey came into our lives a week before my beloved Boomer died. Convinced she killed him, irrationally I admit now, I would get annoyed that she was a puppy and was so needy. She wore me down with her adorable face, sweet disposition and cuddly ways. I realized very soon she was my gift from the universe. She still has her puppy ways. She tries to drink my coffee every morning. She chews up…
I think I can still do things but I can’t. Today was one of those mornings. My coffee pot broke. I have one being delivered today from Amazon. I wanted to go to a local drive thru place to get a cup of coffee. Well after my fall on Sunday night, nobody wants me to leave the house my house without help. That’s still not a feasible requirement since the increased nursing hours are a few weeks away. Anyway, that…
My mother and stepdad aren’t animal people. They don’t dislike them but neither of them grew up with animals so they never wanted one. I was only allowed fish when I was younger. Imagine the horror when I came home with a bunny my senior year of college. Let’s just say the bunny ended up at a pet store before I moved back home. Within a month of me moving into my first apartment I ended up with 2 cats….
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….
Zoey is officially mine. So today it’d all about Zoey… Zoey still loves my coffee, actually anyone’s coffee, she just loves coffee period Zoey eats everything in her path, tables, styluses, rocks, paper, scissors… Zoey has super powers and can fly Zoey thinks that by scratching the food bowl, more food will appear, or she’s going swimming without water or fitting first word Zoey learned was cookie, and where those cookies were kept. Zoey wasn’t liked by my beloved Boomer…
Zoey, the puppy, is now 6 months old. She is accident free about 95% of the time, chewing on things she shouldn’t about 95% of the time and adorable 100% of the time. I forgot how challenging it can be with a puppy because my youngest dog before her is now 8. I don’t know if this is all puppies or just her but she is obsessed with my coffee. I will have to throw my couch soon because she’s…
