Beating Heart: September 30, 2022

By now, I am hoping that  you have immersed yourself in the canvas of tree colors.  Each day, the palette changes as does the sun’s spotlight. Seriously, the beauty surrounding me on my walks is quite breathtaking. Gosh, I almost forgot that I am a dog, so I better get back to thinking like a dog! There I was just strolling on our one of many daily walks when I realized that I had achieved one goal in this dog…

Baggy Pants: September 28, 2022

Baggy Pants: September 28, 2022

I wonder how many of my dog peers have to tolerate listening to their  human companions moan about ridding themselves from their baggy pants?  Here is what I have been listening to lately, so I decided to share it since “misery loves company” as they say!    Besides, I suppose I can let Nancy share my blog occasionally, don’t you think?    Here are her words about baggy pants. “I think I finally found a scapegoat for gaining those nasty…

Being Still: September 24, 2022

Being Still: September 24, 2022

Today I decided to just sit on one of the beautiful rocks near our house and listen. First, I had to block out the traffic on the nearby street. Then, I just sat and listened. There was barely any wind, so I waited for the sound of critters scurrying to their adventures and birds above us. I wondered how many humans and dogs were taking time, to work on the the art of being still. Off in  the distance, I…

Sometime life is like a game of solitaire.  At least, that what Nancy says.  Often a game looks like you will win, when in the end, you don’t.  Then, there are times when the game looks like a loser, and you win.    Now, I don’t quite know where this is going, but  it got me thinking about comparisons.   I don’t really think you can compare life to a solitaire game.   Oh well, it was an interesting opener…

Love this Season! September 17, 2022

Love this Season! September 17, 2022

Like most days, I was up long before the sun.   Such a beautiful time to inhale this favorite season of mine!   There is that crisp feeling of the anticipation of cooler weather, along with the expectancy of all of those fall colors that will appear.  Seriously, who would not love this time of year in Minnesota?   I feel like I am cleaning out my whole sensory system at this time of year because I am smelling and…

Focus: September 9, 2022

  Today, well, it was just one of those days that I feel I succeeded in helping my humans relax.   I believe when I go outside each morning to play fetch the ball, it is equally important for Nancy as me.  As you can see from the photo I am including, I have so much fun fetching my orange ball.  Certainly, we have a healthy routine going here.  I get to enjoy the exercise while we all enjoy all…

Labor Day Weekend: September 4, 2022

Labor Day Weekend: September 4, 2022

Do you remember how I finished my last blog? Work hard, play hard, and rest hard! I did not realize  that Labor Day was just around the corner when I published that blog.   Hmmmmm, so I think the only labor I  as a dog has,   is to write this blog. (HA!)  So, I better finish it before Labor Day. Actually, many dogs are seriously “working” dogs.   Take for instance watch (protection) dogs,  sled dogs, hunting dogs or…
