A Tale about a Tail
We’ve had a bit of an adventure lately and I’ve been focused on things other than writing, blogging or anything creative. I’m dealing with my dog and he’s dealing with a cone and a tail that looks like it should be pinned on a donkey. Those of us who have dealt with a big dog […]
Sleuthing
Aside from the bit of jaywalking Chester and I do early in the morning and late at night I consider myself a law abiding citizen. I like to follow the rules – mostly – and I hate it when other people don’t. Crime does not pay – or at least it shouldn’t. My new neighborhood has […]
An Empty Nest
Chester and I headed out for our walk a bit earlier than usual yesterday, the day was gearing up to be a hot one. The world is markedly quieter in the early morning – we were enjoying the solitude and lost in thought when a loud screech pierced the air. Suddenly rattled from my reverie I checked […]
The Jester
Olive has been gone for three weeks and it feels like forever and yesterday in the same breath. Chester is still moping, he isn’t used to being an only dog and appears to be feeling the heat – we’ve been taking more walks than usual, he has been brushed until he’s out of patience and I think […]
One more second chance
Nothing rouses me from sleep faster than the sound of a dog threatening to barf on the bedroom carpet – the anticipation of last night’s supper making a second appearance is a real motivator to jump out of bed. It’s a great way to start the day. As always, the offending creature is miraculously cured […]
The Breakfast Club meets The Frisbee Dog
Chester and I have discovered that White Rock has a resident flock of Canada Geese – noisy honkers who seem to have moved to the beach front without invitation or consideration. These geese have a breakfast club which convenes at the white rock on the daily. We’ve noticed the gathering varies in size from day to […]
The Face of Innocence
So I guess while Olive and I were road tripping across the province Chester was back at home making a poor impression. Ches has never complained about the accommodations at the kennel before, in fact the last time I dropped him off he was excited and never even said goodbye – nary a backwards glance […]
Miles and smiles
We are marking six weeks in our new digs, the dogs and I are getting into the groove of condo living and life at the beach. We aren’t getting off to the super early morning starts anymore – the daily six AM dog party in the unit above us has become old hat – we […]
The face of devotion
I only need to look at my big brown dog and think ‘I love you’ and he wags his tail. If the notion of going for a walk crosses my mind he looses his. Chester and I have a connection that goes beyond words. I inherited this brown dog and although we have a strong […]
