That Thing I Forgot to Do 

You know that nagging feeling that you’ve forgotten to do something? Well it’s been hanging around for a few days now, but I didn’t think much about it. After all, it was the end of the semester, and the holidays are upon us, and I was getting ready for a trip, so of course I had a million things on my to do list. The cool thing is, I got them all done, or so I thought.

So what did I forget? Well, dear readers, I’m ashamed to admit that I forgot you. I forgot to schedule something for you to read while I go underground for a little while. I’m sorry. Truly.

This quick little apology-holiday greeting combo might have to do for a few days, because blogging by phone is less than ideal. 

On that note I’d like to wish you the most wonderful holiday you could imagine, filled with love and peace. See you on the flip side.

Doggy Dreams

What do they dream about?IMG_3034.jpg

My Lila is asleep at my feet, and every now and then she lets out a long sigh.

Earlier she was making the most adorable sound, one that she only makes when she’s asleep. It’s not a cry or a whine or a woof, but sort of a hybrid of all three of those sounds. Clearly she’s thinking about SOMETHING when she’s doing that, but I’m not sure if it’s something good or bad.

Do dogs have nightmares? Are they afraid in their sleep? Do they see monsters and boogie men and lions and tigers and bears? Do they hear fireworks and thunder? Are they afraid of being abandoned?

Do they dream of hunting? Chasing down a rabbit or a squirrel? Do they dream about running on the beach and splashing in the surf? Or riding in the car with the window down and the wind flopping their ears? Do they dream of curling up on the couch next to their person at the end of the day?

I wish I knew what she dreams of. I hope it’s all good things. I never want that dog to feel fear or loneliness. She’s much too good of a companion for that.
