Jerusalem, 2015 Hmmm, who is allowed to use these stairs? Where do the stairs go? Up or Down? Thought for the Day: Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.Mark Twain

Remington Remington, 10 week old Golden Retriever, got his first smell of fresh flowers on his first visit to "grandma's house". I think he prefers water fowl. Thought for the Day: Know yourself. Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.Ann Landers

But everyone chips in enjoying each other's … Continue reading Christmas Debris
Lucy, 12, died yesterday; she was a birthday present to my granddaughter from her parents when she turned four. An Australian cattle dog, Lucy was rugged, very tough and built strong to withstand the hooves of stray cattle ... but, very affectionate. As a pup, she would nip at our heels or take our hands … Continue reading Lucy
There is a new neighbor on the block. He moved in last fall, and owns a schnauzer that he walks daily. I know this because the schnauzer is frequently spotted relieving himself in my wife's flower bed. While annoying, I told myself, "Fuhgetta Bout It!". It's just payback for the times my dog has relieved herself … Continue reading Iris Bed
This photo was taken in the local Cathedral during its annual flower show in February, where I mentioned in an earlier blog that I was more interested in the statuary than the flower arrangements. If you're not a Christian, you might not get the significance of this image, but, if your are a believing Christian … Continue reading Easter Message
