Remembering Tahoe


I've been thinking about my boy a lot lately and missing him so much it's like a phantom pain. I sit down to write, and he's not there, his soft ears near my knee where I absently stroked them trying to come up with something poiniant, if not poetic. He's not there to remind me to take a break, to dance in the kitchen, to wander the neighborhood, to smell the evening news. It's tough to write without your muse.

It's been a year and a half now. More and more often I find myself surfing the web instead of writing, popping by pet rescues, looking for the dog who's out there looking for me. Knowing when I see him, I will know him and he will know me. I know there will never be another Tahoe, unthinkable, I know, but perhaps there will be another dog and another day . . .

Woo hoo! & Cauley of the Day



Woo hoo! The house is going up! The roof trusses are up and the dormers are on the way! We just got the doors and windows in (with two bay windows . . . woo hoo again!).
And, in honor of the guys working so hard on the house: Cauley of the Day . . .
Those boys are skippin' like water on a hot skillet.
