I won’t even attempt to speculate on why Nancy hurriedly left the house to capture sunset photos over the local lake. Did I mention she left without me even tagging along? Wasn’t she thinking I’d want to witness the sunset or that I could be in the photo? Oh, brother! When I write these blogs, I enjoy having her nearby for moral support. All this time, I believed we were on a daily journey of peace together. But I…
First and foremost, please remember that these Daily Doses of Peace are presented from a dog’s perspective! You may not know this, but I’m not really a fussy eater, unless I don’t have a few treats sprinkled on my food. What in the world does this have to do with PEACE you are wondering, right? Well, here goes. Sometimes, I may not like the toppings on my food, but I try to be polite and eventually eat it. …
Without a doubt, a daily dose of peace can be achieved by simply sitting outside without a cell phone. Of course, I don’t have a cell phone myself, but I knew I had to urge you humans to leave your cell phones at home.As we sat outside yesterday, Greg even remarked, “This feels like we’re up at a cabin!” Nancy, being a homebody who dislikes traveling, found peace in such a remark. I wonder if I’ll be the scapegoat for…
Today, since it’s Memorial Day in America, I’ve decided to set aside my prepared Daily Dose of Peace for another day. Instead, I want to express my gratitude to all the men, women and dogs who have sacrificed their lives to serving our country, ensuring that we have peace in our nation. This concept is far too profound for me to fully comprehend. I can’t even fathom the reasons behind conflicts or the avoidance of peace. Remember, I am…
I was recently thrilled to hear a bird song that I had never encountered before. I can’t even reveal the name of the bird to you because I never managed to identify it. However, I’d like to share the daily dose of peace with you. Take a moment to step outside, sit down, and listen to the birds. Not only will you feel peace flow through your whole being, you will find yourself relaxing as you practice that inhaling and…
As I was writing my blog the other day, I had an idea to start a new series on how to bring more peace into our lives. The sun is finally shining here in Minnesota, and as much as I hate to admit it, I certainly didn’t enjoy being out in the cold and rainy days. Those gloomy days were even starting to annoy Nancy, who usually loves those reminiscent days of the Paris rains. This morning, I yearned to…
What do people think about you or me? Do you care or should you even bother thinking about it? Well, I’m here to say that many people don’t read my blog because (HELLO) it’s written by a dog! Let me also tell you that if Nancy wrote the blog, you wouldn’t want to read it. It would be way too philosophical and analytical about our lives. While I don’t share a ton of personal information, I do share enough that…
Some things in life are simply not meant to be! If you search my first thought today, you’ll find a plethora of writing and quotes about this very sentence. Since I steer clear of politics and religion on my blog, I’d like to share my personal theory on this subject. Just when we thought we were making progress on all our tasks ahead, the kitchen partially flooded. Nancy noticed that the left side of the sink pump had a broken…
Drumroll, please! It’s not like you were anxiously waiting to see my spring haircut, is it? Contrary to what some may think, I absolutely love being groomed, because I don’t get much pampering around here! Haha! I usually don’t mind having my paw nails ground down either, except I believe Nancy purchased the incorrect sandpaper for the dremel. If I squirm excessively, she promptly stops. Our communication is quite effective, you know. I mean, I was at the Rockler store…
Despite the hectic week I’ve had, I’m struggling to find a topic for today’s post. Perhaps I should wait until I’m inspired before writing. I suppose I could begin with the most evident fact: despite having my face and paws shaved, I’m still wearing my winter coat. Now, as the day draws to a close, we find ourselves all gathered on the deck, basking in the beauty of our surroundings. While I often capture our sunrises, our sunsets can…
