Check your ego at the door lady!  When I walk in the house, it doesn’t matter if I have been gone for a half an hour or just stepped out to put the recycles on the curb, my boys make me feel like a rock star!  Lucas squeals and runs and gets me a toy,Continue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

“Take a walk on the wildside…”   For some that might mean jumping out of a plane at 4000 feet in the air or swimming with sharks off the Carolina shores, but for me, it is walking with the dogs on a snowy morning in Waterloo.   For decades now Mothers have been waging aContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

“I can’t stand the rain”, I think that would be Lucas’ theme song.   I don’t mind the rain at all, with the rain comes Spring flowers and lush greenery.  Unfortunately, my pooch does not concur, I woke up last night to hear him pacing up and down the hall.  It seemed quiet for awhile,Continue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”
