My First Christmas Purchase
Last Friday I met with Lynn and Sue to visit and spend some time writing.

Writing a poem today was a struggle, which may be evident. Usually I just throw out whatever comes into my head, only feeling the need for slight changes. But this one came out awkward, the cadence and message lost. I’m blaming this on the dreariness and demands of the day. All the creatures were feeling…
The great thing about traveling is having the chance to be in an unfamiliar environment where you see and experience things you don’t normally see at home and interact with different people. So one would think that the good thing about coming home would be the familiarity and the comfort and convenience found there. Which is why I was surprised to find that when I came home, things actually looked different to me.
Yesterday, there was a complete change of plans for my day, but in a good way. I was all set to take the dogs for a walk, go look at mountain bikes, take a bike ride if said bike happened to follow me home, and then go ride Luke in the afternoon. Fitting some house…
The days are a bit longer, but it’s still a challenge to take Java for a walk after work before the sun sets. Tuesday, Java and I did our speed-walk down to the river and caught the sun just over the trees. As I was busy snapping photos, a couple teenage boys walked by. One smiled…
I have a post today out on Vision and Verb on friendship and how it has changed from childhood days to the present. Hope you’ll stop by there and leave your thoughts.
This is how my window looked this morning. Good grief! Not another problem! Oh, well, what’s a little condensation (yeah, that’s dripping water, not ice). And I’m not going to even mention the broken door knob on the door out to the backyard. On to a more pleasant topic. Java and I started a Dog…

A great morning spent with two friends and a nice little shopping trip to boot…and for a good cause!
It so true about animals, I think we owe our pets so much.
What a cute purse! Yes, I believe that animals find us sometimes. I know we sure LOVE ours.
Did you know that Rolling Dog Ranch has a blog? I’ve been following them for years. Love their work.
As for pets being therapeutic, I have no doubt of that whatsoever.
Maery Rose…sorry I have not been better at communicating lately. I just caught up! Hope the hay turned out to be good. It does not matter if you did not write 50,000 words (you were not getting graded on it…right?) but I am curious as to how the woman got out of the house and into the truck without having her husband catch her. I love Sue at Dream Valley Ranch…she and some of her friends have done an enormous amount of work saving horses and dogs…and they spend a lot of their own money doing this. As for Java, she is indeed a therapy dog. Love the purse and the cause. What else did I forget….oh yes, the soup looks delicious! Glad to see you take the time to cook for yourself.
I like the animal causes ..the animals they cannot do anything themselves to make their situation better..so I like to help the helpless:)
I agree that all forms of service for and by humans and canines alike are equally valid and special.
Love that last crazy eye shot of Java. Silly!
And, P.S. I never understood the allure of purses or shoes until I gained a few pounds … and suddenly clothes mocked me. Shoes and purses NEVER mock you.
Lynn – I hope we get to do something again this weekend.
Dusty – Yes Java’s personality seems to be just what I need right now.
Amy – Found the blog and added it to my reading list. Thanks.
Lori – I think everyone is pretty busy right now with holiday preparations so I understand. But I’m glad to get your comments again!
Far Side – That’s what touches me about animals too. It seems like so often people are the cause of their suffering (like the puppy mills). We need to stop those stupid places.
