Serendipity
I’ve been focused on my Storyworth project for a few weeks. I’ve spent a lot of time drenched in memories of my mom and dad and walking on a virgin prairie. I’ve been listening to imagined conversations and revisiting places that don’t exist anymore. Progress and time have claimed many things from my past and I’m beginning to […]
And then…
Fergus came to stay with Penny and I last week while his people were on vacation. She and I had big plans to show him a good time – we were going to keep him too busy to miss anyone. (Fergus has become Penny’s best friend – she was excited to have him for a sleepover). We had […]

The tail end
Chester and I take a road less traveled these days. We avoid the park and other dogs and children and cross the street for oncoming walkers. None of this has anything to do with COVID 19 or the new restrictions or social distancing and everything to do with the tail end of my dog – […]
A Lost Week
My week started in a bit of a flap and is only settling down this morning – the week feels like one long day. It started on Sunday night when I noticed Chester had something sticky on the end of his tail and tried to wash it off. Ches isn’t a whiner, he never complains, […]
