Sometimes I can’t sleep which is odd for a dog, right?! Yup, I too think of all the things I could of or should have done and then I end up in a conundrum. It is quite 🙃 silly how this affects my sleep! I toss and turn and wake up my owners who direct me outside thinking I need to do my duties? But, of course that still leaves me sleepless? I finally fall asleep 😴 this time dreaming…
I was napping on the couch today until Nancy rudely awoke me to remind me to write my daily blog. Suddenly I thought about how expectations are not so cool. Sure, I can expect to be fed and go on my walks, but to write a daily blog, really?! At that moment, I realized that I had been duped into agreeing to write daily blogs, instead of whenever I so desire to write them. So, this lighthearted poodle decided to…
My new daily walks with Harmony are quite bittersweet walks. I miss Serenade so much because we had this understanding that did not need words. She would gracefully walk next to me. Harmony, well, she is so energetic and a fine walking companion, but she forgets that sometimes one likes to be silent while walking. I have noticed that she is trying to be sensitive of my grief yet of losing Serenade. Harmony strides a bit ahead of us and…
Yesterday, it was just one of those days. Have you ever heard someone say that in your house? Yup, “it was just of those days” and of course they want you to ask what they meant by that? Then, they say, oh, it was nothing really, “just one of those days” and they walk away. I guess that technically my day was actually quite fine UNTIL the wash machine died on me again. How strange that the day could be…
So, here it is day two of my daily blog mission and I suppose y’all are wondering what I will write about? I will address the topic of sleeping 😴 through the night without any interruptions. Why you may ask? Because I just got up to do my duties outside and “boom” it popped into my head – ah, write of such mundane routines! How many of my readers get up at least once a night for some reason? We…
While I realize I tend to write my blog once a week, I was a bit perplexed when Nancy asked me if I would consider writing my blog daily during this crisis time in the world?! First of all, I may be lighthearted, but I don’t feel I have enough material to write daily. Quite frankly, I have enough trouble conjuring up subjects to write about weekly? Even though the coronavirus has not affected us dogs much yet, I do…
For today’s blog, I don’t think I will speak much about the pandemic disease that seems to be consuming everyone. Rather, I will speak of the benefits of everyone staying at home with their pets and humans during this time. Dogs really enjoy having their owners in close proximity, but not because we are codependent on each other. (I know, that is for another blog!) As I type this, I’m listening to a live-streamed Minnesota Orchestra concert with Nancy. We…
Today, I was able to go on a long walk since the ice has finally melted. It was a bittersweet walk because Serenade is no longer with us. Oh, I miss her so much! Now, I need to be strong for my owners! Serenade and I discussed it often about being great therapy dogs for our humans. Did you know that I once earned my Canine Good Citizenship Award? Yup, I was on my journey to becoming an official “Therapy…
