Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

Around the Yard

By

I’ve got wicked writer’s blog today, so thought I’d keep it simple.

About a month ago Hubby was outside cleaning up the yard. He was raking leaves by the fence, and was surprised when something moved. He took some photos with his phone and sent them to me.

Look at how cute those little ears are.

Look at how cute those little ears are.

The little guy climbed right up the fence, and didn’t seem to be afraid of Hubby at all.

I was thrilled to see him, I understand they eat ticks.

I’m just glad the dogs didn’t spot him.

We’ve lived here almost nine years, and this is the first Opossum I’ve seen. What kind of wildlife do you see around your house?

What do you do when you get writer’s block?

You Make Me Laugh – July 31, 2016

By

You make me laugh (or smile), the sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do on a daily basis that brings a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.

Sampson, when you hog the fan because you’re hot…

Golden Lab loves the Fan

You make me laugh.

We’ve had some super hot days lately, as have most of you. I’ve been running the air conditioning quite a bit and it finally caught up with me, via the electric bill.

Oops, have to start turning the temperature up and the AC off a wee bit sooner. Which is where the fan comes in.

Obviously, I hadn’t realized how much the dogs had come to count on it.

How’s the weather in your neck of the woods? Supposedly we are supposed to be cooler, but the humidity can be just as challenging.

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time, by Jodi Stone

Once upon a time, I dreamed of someone. Someone who would love me unconditionally. Someone who would look at me with adoring eyes that said, “You hung the moon.”

One upon a time, I dreamed of someone. Someone who would listen to me. Listen to my deepest, darkest secrets, and not laugh or pass judgements.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of someone. Someone who would forgive me when I made a mistake, someone who wouldn’t hold a grudge against me for doing so. Someone whose love would always shine out of their eyes, no matter what I said or did.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of someone. Someone who would be excited to spend time with me, whether we were cuddled up by the fire, walking in the woods, or looking for an adventure.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of someone. Someone who would protect me, both from the demons that exist in the world and the inner demons only I can see.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of someone.

Once upon a time…my dream came true.

Sampson and me.

Happy 12th Birthday Sampson, you’ve brought me more joy and laughter than I ever could have imagined.  I love you big guy.
