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

It’s 7:30 and I’d like to just pop some Ibuprofen and go to bed. It’s been a day. Started out pretty light. Java and I drove to the Rum River park. Java loves her Mini compartment. Usually, Java and I walk at a pretty brisk pace as I’m trying to loosen up after a day…
Today it felt like it was in the 90s but it was just the 80s, humid, and very sunny. I finished up the house cleaning that I had started last night and did some laundry. Then I tackled the kennel again. H helped tighten up the fence, which made securing it to the frame…
It’s almost Easter and I’ve been feeling nostalgic. My adoptive Mom was Polish and at Easter time she made a beet and horseradish relish that we called “Kassan”. I have no idea how to spell it. My Mom We had this relish on our hard-boiled eggs, kielbasa (Polish sausage), ham and whatever else we felt like…
My horse accident happened at a time in my life when I was extremely happy. I had never had so much in my life that was good. And I had never had so much to lose. I was terrified.
Even with only a brief visit from my son, my house feel oddly empty after he leaves. I long to make him another cup of coffee and see him standing in my kitchen, stirring in cream and sugar. I even miss watching the smoke drift past my living room window, as he stood outside on…
My dog Willow died in August of 2008. After more than a year of nursing her failing kidneys and the seizures she had, I ended up putting her down after she stopped eating and struggled to even get out of her bed. Right now, I sure could use the comfort and laughter Willow brought into…

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.
