Some family dogs passed away last weekend. And while others struggle, new ones arrive to enrich our lives. Please share the names of those you'd like us all to remember, because stories and memories are prayers too.
All day long I watch the birds on our rock. They drink and bathe and feed and dance. Some fly into our window and get stunned, some for a long time. Why do some birds do that while others do not? I tend to objectify birds, so it comes as a shock to watch how God makes each bird to be separate, different, unique. It makes my separateness feel more one, less separate, more alive.
The Dog Days of Summer are here, Fall right around the corner. I first saw Fall this year in a photo of a Northwest Leaf by Penny, my great-great-niece. Penny's post encourages me -- Life goes on, with new Opportunities, new Lives, new Dogs, right around the corner. Who will they be? What will they do? Are you curious? I'm learning patience while Love unfolds.
Be well, Family!
Dan
Loved the blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling with Willie and his pain paralysis and not wanting to eat.
I pray he gets better soon��
Yes quite a whirlwind with dogs and Chris's dog recently had to have a I removed. Sheesh
Love you!
Are you going to go visit your sisters soon?
Love,
Cindy

What I meant to say, Melda is if you find a new old or old new dog, in need of some attention and care, be sure to let us know!
