The Adventures Of One Woman And Her Two Dogs
On Saturday night I set my alarm to wake up early on Sunday with every intention of getting up, watching the sunrise, and getting some work done. But as I awoke the next day, I stumbled to the living room, opened the door, stuck my hand outside, and decided the temperature was perfect for a…
In my blogs, I tend to feature Caesar more than Jeter simply because Caesar is my hiking partner, while Jeter often holds down the fort and is an excellent cuddle partner. I have to admit, it’s much harder to write lengthly blogs about cuddling with your dog than it is to write about hiking adventures….
This week I held a protest for animal rights, and while you think everyone could get on board with that cause, I heard a lot of negativity. The thing that bothered me the most was when someone told me that a “stupid dog” is “replaceable” and if it died we could “just get another one”…
On August 11, 2011, I was determined to bring home a puppy for my birthday. After finding an ad on Craig’s List, I ventured to an Amish farm in Indiana that had eight week old German Shepherd mix puppies for sale. In the litter of puppies, there were tan ones, black ones, and tan and…
Upset, frustrated, and with my heart bursting from my chest, I put Caesar in my car Sunday evening and said, “I’m sorry, buddy. I love you so much.” I hugged him and told him we were going on a walk to clear our heads. I had just read a letter about how Carl, a dog…
For as long as I can remember, I have loved animals. As a child, I grew up on a small farm. It wasn’t your average farm, though. We didn’t eat our animals; they were our friends. Over the course of my 17 years growing up on the farm, we had show chickens, a donkey, a…
How many times do you wake up in the morning thinking, “I’d like to just drive somewhere – anywhere – to get away for a little bit”? For me, it’s quite often. Daily, even. But may days, there is always something holding me back. I make excuses like, “I don’t have enough time” or “I’m…
A couple of years ago my dad and I rescued an abandoned Border Collie from a very neglectful situation. Lion-O came to my dad after the death of his trusty Airedale Terrier, Chewbacca. At the time, my dad wanted to help Lion-O, but didn’t know if he was ready to take in a new dog…
It’s a little ironic that I just belted out a 17 page paper for class but thought, “I don’t know what to say” when it came to writing this blog. I’m on week six of working and doing schooling from home, and lately, I feel like much of my creativity and motivation has dried up….
*NOTE: I am using this post for my Creativity and Community class project, which will focus on how the coronavirus has impacted my life and the lives of those around me, specifically in regard to our sense of community. This is post 4/4.* This week I shared articles with my class that pertained to physical…
