December 25, 2024: Day 9 & 10 of The Ten Days of Christmas

December 25, 2024: Day 9 & 10 of The Ten Days of Christmas

For us, it is an unusual Christmas! I had better write my blog early since I learned I may be able to go visit Greg at the hospital later. As I contemplate the ninth day of my 10 days of Christmas, allow me to dwell on priceless gifts. For starters if I visit Greg at the hospital, it is free. Actually I only can offer free gifts. They are comfort, companionship,  love,  a listening  ear, peace, and devotion. So tuned…

December 23, 2024: Day 8 of The Ten Days of Christmas

This morning, I tried to think like a human for my  Day 8 of The  Ten Days of Christmas..   I am very fortunate because I have never experienced  the need for   emotional or physical healing.  While I know from watching some TV that many pets and people are in need of healing.   Some people in the world  are not even aware of their deep wounds.    I think many people in this world need healing of all…

December 22, 2024: Day 7 of The Ten Days of Christmas

Yesterday, I was so  wrapped up (no Christmas pun intended) in writing my own version of ’Twas The Night Before Christmas.   So much so, that I forgot to tell you that it was my 9th Birthday.  Did you even read through my version of the Christmas rhyme?  I didn’t think so, because people commented about the photos and not my writing ****sigh!  I decided for the 7th Day, I would address the topic of gift giving at Christmas.    Especially…

December 21, 2024: Day 6 of The Ten Days of Christmas

Today, on Day 6 of my Ten Days of Christmas, let me present my  OWN  version of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore (published in 1823). Twas just days before Christmas, when all through the house Not a ball was stirring, not even a tollhouse; The stockings weren’t hung because the chimney wasn’t there, In hopes that somebody soon would suddenly care; There weren’t any children in our house to tuck into their bed, While I visioned…

December 20, 2024: Day 5 of The Ten Days of Christmas

For the 5th Day of my Ten Days of Christmas, allow me to celebrate with you the gift of children in our lives.  As you know, I always enjoy any visitors in  our home.   But, there is something so very special about children.    They tend to have such imaginations that spark joy and wonder all around them.    When they are present in our home the “lighthearted” nature of my existence becomes doubled and we unite immediately! We…

December 19, 2024: Day 4 of The Ten Days of Christmas

It did not take me long to ponder  a topic for the 4th day of my Ten Days of Christmas.   If you  are perplexed by what it could be, simply look outside if you are in Minnesota.  I think once the sun rises there will be a lovely white blanket spread across our landscape.   There may even be enough snow for Nancy to make her snow angels appear in the fresh snowfall.   No, you won’t find me…

December 18, 2024, The Ten Days of Christmas, Day 3

On this Day 3 of my Ten Days of Christmas, let me remind you to get plenty of rest and relaxation  during the Christmas season.   As you can see, I enjoy this mini pillow that Nancy found at an  estate  sale last year.   To say that I love it is an understatement.   Actually, I share it with Greg around our nap times.    I think there is a market for this size pillow.   Since Nancy has been looking for a…

December 17, 2024: Day 2 of The Ten Days of Christmas

I love the  outdoor Christmas lights that seem to magically appear on so many homes in December.  While we have a small Christmas tree and some decorations inside our home, we have not put outside lights up for several years for various reasons. But, I remember  at our previous home, Greg and Nancy’s brother Mike would decorate a plum tree with some beautiful blue lights.  Even though very few people passed our home, they always said that if it brought…

December 16, 2024: The Ten Days of Christmas

Christmas is a time for all humans to have reasons to give each other gifts and be kind to others.   Why not make that a habit all year long?  I just don’t understand.  Now, even though I am not allowed in church services, I do know who my Creator is and that you all celebrate His birth during the Christmas season.   His name is Jesus and I don’t believe just because my humans believe.  Rather, I believe because all…

December 14, 2024: I Am a Therapy Dog!

December 14, 2024: I Am a Therapy Dog!

This morning, I woke up with an upset stomach. I know, us dogs are rarely sick, so even I was unsure of any possible remedy.   We have our morning routine.  I eat while Nancy commences her quiet time.   But, I did not even eat this morning. I remained quiet on my spot on the couch observing Nancy sip coffee.  Then, she heard my stomach growl which I was trying to camouflage  during her coveted quiet time. Of course,…

December 6, 2024

There are some days that I am thankful that my human companions are a bit  eccentric! Enough so,  to provide me with an assortment of fleece jackets.  If you read my blogs, you know I was recently groomed. Yes, I was excited to soar through  the yard  with my new groomed body.  Until, the temperatures dropped and the winds picked up.  So far, I have worn two of the hand-me-downs.  I saw in that storage box,  two or three more….
