Tears in Rain

Mama has been sad.  I’ve been working overtime to do everything I can to make her smile, but some days she’s just too tough a customer.   Luckily it has been raining a lot lately, so if she cries out in public it could easily look like she’s just getting rained on rather than that her…

Some Enchanted Evening

When mama gets home from work, the first thing I do is smother her in kisses (she needs ’em!).   This also gently reminds her that it’s time for my evening walkie and poop-a-thon.  It’s dark out there at night now, so I have to protect mama on our walks more so than usual.  That also…

Cone-age

Mid-day walkie – seemed like it was going to be uneventful, until… What is that in your hand mama?  The one you’re holding onto behind your back? PINE CONES!!! Gimme!  Gimme!  Gimme! Check out my STYLE!!! But why oh why must I always have to WORK for my cones, mama? Not that I’m complaining, you…
