Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, wag, wag, run run run kiss kiss kiss, smell, smell, smell, smell, smell, smell, smell, chew, chew, chew, chew, drink and wag some more and then jump up to cuddle next to my human… got to bury my nose to take a rest.

I am getting to see that I missed a lot of learning about dogs by adopting 3-5-year-old dogs all my life until now. Josh is barely out of puppyhood…or not.

I feel like a just had another baby at 72 almost 73. Josh just wore my ass out yesterday.

Mid-afternoon, mama had to take a nap…

I’m not complaining. In this few moments of quiet, I can see this is going to be a major re-orientation of many of my mature life routines. Holy Toledo!

Love is expensive, isn’t it?

When I was raising children, I was always anxious about the mess. I don’t know what the hell was the matter with my brain back then. Oh, it was the culture and I was listening to it. I’m not listening anymore. It makes my heart overflow seeing tiny Josh relax in his tiny bed. Screw the mess.
