Dog Hero

A couple of weeks ago, my friend’s mother had to be taken to the hospital. My friend lives with her mom and said she knew there was something the matter by the way her dog was behaving. He usually sleeps in my friend’s room in the lower level of the house, while her mother is […]

Sweet Dog

My son went out of town for the day, so we said we would take care of his dog for the day. She has come over several times and we are getting to know one another pretty well. When my son left her in the morning, she looked out the window and door for him […]

Vacation at the Farm

My brother came today to stay a few days. Instead of boarding his dog, he brought her over to vacation at my sister’s farm. They texted back and forth during the evening to get the routine down and to just touch base. My brother was sad that there wasn’t a doggie cam so he could […]

Funny Dog Sitter

This evening as we headed out for a walk, we were met by a little barking ball of white fluff. The neighbor was walking her daughter’s dog who she was sitting for. She had a retractable leash on the dog, but didn’t know how to use it and the leash was locked with a very […]

Watching Tess

My brother put his dog in doggie daycare today as he came for a visit. There was a camera in the area so you could log in and see what was going on. We checked in on her often and watched her play with the other dogs. Later, she was so tired she plopped down […]

Great Family Get Together

I was happy to get to church again this morning and bring Communion home for my parents. After our little service, my mom hopped on her piano to play, “The Lord Bless You and Keep You”, which was in her mind. Then we had a great family get together including my two sons, two sisters, […]

Greeted by the Dogs

When we look outside the window from the dining room, we have a view of a particular house. The people who live there own 3 dogs. The youngest one is barely a year old. It has been fun to see her grow from a puppy and it’s entertaining when the people have all the dogs […]

Hero of the Day

My brother took his dog on a long walk this afternoon as usual. But when he returned he had a story to tell. While they were walking, they were approached by a large black lab who was alone – no person, no leash. At first my brother tried to shoo the dog away as he […]

Purple Booties

Knowing that it was going to be very frigid weather here, my brother got some purple rubber booties to protect his dog’s paws. This morning he got her all layered up with a shirt, coat, and the new purple booties. Before they headed out, she walked all around lifting her feet way up off the […]

Healing Dog

A while ago, we noticed that my brother’s dog had a funny lump on her back that seemed to be getting bigger. My brother took her to the vet who said it looked suspicious and should come off. She had surgery last week which left about a 6″ wound on her back. We have been […]
