Last year, I bought Cheekie a dog treat advent calendar. It was $10 or $12 for 25 dog treats. Most of which he didn’t like. In that case, the advent calendar was mostly for me. Seeing which treat would be under the hidden panel next. On a shopping trip to 5 Below I found this.Continue reading “Waste not. Want not; dog treats”

Scaring yourself; poem
Plumber in. Plumber out. What kind of leaky smells will sprout? ~ In the silent darkness of the night, odors can give quite the fright. ~ Chico; my Chihuahua and I, are down for the count. Praying the land of dreams will open like a fount. ~ My worst fears have come true. Raw sewageContinue reading “Scaring yourself; poem”

Back to the drawing board
Sometimes we make things way harder than they have to be. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. It works amazingly as is. But because we are human; we want to make it better. For those of you that read my work, I published my first work on KDP. There is an idea rollingContinue reading “Back to the drawing board”

Then, I read that the parent company of Redbox is filing for bankruptcy. Which just happens to be the same company that publishes the Chicken SoupContinue reading “God, Chico and Me”

BlackBerry Dumplins
I had to share this. Cheekie has been so cute this morning. In this picture, he’s waiting on my blackberry dumplins. I was a little worried about giving him some but I read they shouldn’t hurt him. When I was making them last night, I discovered he likes dough. 😂

Dig you out
Hide from me, will you? Dig you out. This ground is soft and spongy. Feels weird. No worries, I’m gonna dig you out. Movement. Felt that. With a burst of speed like a locomotive barreling down the tracks, I’m gonna dig you out. Sniff. Sniff. I smell you. I’m gonna dig you out. That sound,Continue reading “Dig you out”
Testimony Tuesday on Wednesday
God’s lessons are all around us. We sometimes don’t know how to interpret what he’s saying. Or perhaps we know but we choose to look the other way. I know I do. Brush off an experience and say, ‘that’s not me’. There was a time in my life that I questioned how people could spendContinue reading “Testimony Tuesday on Wednesday”
