Unconditional Love

March 22, 2010 By: Bogart Handsome Devil Category: Airedale Fun, Portland, Video 5 Comments →

Everybody needs LOVE.

love1

Humans often talk about unconditional love, and how we dogs and cats are good at that. I consider myself a top-tier provider of love for my mama, but well, I do have conditions.

love2

I like my food homemade, my grooming occasional (but enough so that I maintain my rugged outdoorsman look that’s so popular with the ladies), minimal hugging, at least 3 walks per day, and LOTS of kisses.

love3

Luckily all of these things seem to fit in with mama’s conditions as well. We are a pretty darned good team.

love4

I don’t judge her when she throws on her old sweatpants to walk me at 6AM in the rain, nor do I bust out the yardstick when my dinner is late because she forgot to turn on the stove. I mean, right now I am cuddling on the bed on her pillow and the bed isn’t even made… and yet I say nothing. In return I always try to keep her spirits up, make her laugh, and smother her with kisses. A fair trade, I’d say.

love5

Oh, there are pine cones too? OF COURSE THERE ARE…

Love,

Bogart

In Your Eyes

For Klaus… love Lulu

“In Your Eyes” Peter Gabriel

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway of a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don’t like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired, working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway of a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes

I Cannot Thank You All Enough

(thank you Miss Asta!!!)

I am absolutely floored at the amount of love that we have received during the scariest day of my life… sitting here in the ICU, seeing the love of my life so very sick, breaks my heart into tiny little pieces that turn around and stab me again and again. I stroke his hair, squeeze his hands, and even was able to give him a kiss on the lips today and then I collapse into my chair by his bedside. I cry a little and reach for my laptop, and every single time I log on my mailbox is flooded with well-wishes from animals around the world. It makes me chuckle a bit because while we have never met in person, through reading and writing our blogs I feel like I know every single one of you, that we are real friends, the kind that are there for you not just in good times, but in bad.

Words simply cannot express my gratitude for all of you at this very scary, very difficult time. Thank you for your wishes, and thank you for the beautiful, fun, and poignant distractions that reading you comments is to me. I want to be there every moment for my husband, and I want him to know how special he is. You all know him as Bogart’s dad, to me he is just Klaus. He cannot respond to me directly, but I read him every single comment – and I just know deep down inside he hears and understands.

THANK YOU SO MUCH,

Lulu

Go Go Goaties, Watch Them Go Go Go

Hey…. Goats!!! Goatie-Goatie-Goaties!!! Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Goats!!!

There they are!

And the horses too! We had some extra rice left over from a batch of gumbo that dad made… and it had formed into a sort of rice-cake. So we cut it up into wedges, and…

Both of the horses seemed to enjoy it, as did the nubian goats.

Or did they…?

On the way home, I felt the need for speed. Yes, I wanted to chase some sticks around. Come on dad, try me out!!!

Got that one!

Come on, come on, come on, THROW THAT STICK!!!

Ok, you’ve got it in your hand… which way are you going to throw it? Are you going to make me run uphill – again – or make it easy for me doing a nice downhill run?
