Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. The simplest things in life can sometimes be the best. It’s that simple. A cup of gumbo. A sour patch gummy. A puppy letting you know it’s dinner time. I get such joy and pleasure when […]
The dog woke me up at 7am and wanted a long walk. And, he was peppy. He did his business, sniffed the roses, and looked up at me with his brown/green eyes. I was going to take this to be his way of communicating “happy mother’s day” to […]
My sweet, sweet dog. He is a bit skittish and anxious. Yet, he is extremely playful and content in ripping a chew toy apart. In seeking moments of zen, he brings quiet and levity. He’s also a chameleon. He is a grey dog who, at times, looks blue. […]

I think, for the most part, dogs are super excited by this massive quarantine. My dog is no exception. He is happy that his humans are around and he can just bounce from one to the other. He saunters around as if he owns the place. And, he […]
I have a very fussy dog when it comes to eating. This is such a bizarre thing to me. My past dog was not finicky as he ate everything and very quickly at it. He would remind me of medical residents at a free luncheon. Although, my past […]
I love Christmas. Unabashedly. I love this day in part because I get to see joy on the faces of others. And, that in turn warms my stomach and makes my heart beat with joy. Right now my son is playing his new harmonica nonstop. Luckily, I have […]
