It’s our nature to take things for granted. We get distracted. We have other things to do. We simply can’t pay close attention all the time.
But this morning I took the time to really notice the dog who was leaving. He’s been around nearly 14 years–my entire married life. He […]
Found out today that the reason why the elder dog is having all those breathing problems is he has this baseball-sized tumor pressing against his trachea. Yeah, not so much fun. Sorry.
So now because I’m the human and he’s the dog, I get to decide when is the exact right time for him […]

It’s a mark of how relaxing a backpacking trip can be when you spend two hours sitting in camp watching the cow channel.

That’s what we saw as we rounded the corner tonight. One large mass of black Labs playing in the yard, with their stout-chested yellow Lab father in the middle.
The puppy reunion party.
They’re all just a little over a year old now, and yes, Bear is by far the largest. He kept asking us […]
I didn’t mean to pick the perfect audio book, but I did.
The whole way up to Colorado we’ve been listening to Marley and Me, by John Grogan. It’s been on the New York Times bestseller list forever, it seems, and I finally got around to it.
I see why the book deserves all the attention […]
My husband, the Bear dog, and I are heading for Colorado tomorrow. I hear the temps are 70 in the day, 40 at night. What’s that like?
