As I wandered the Ten Sleep Rodeo grounds, trying, unsuccessfully, to walk Miss Reagan into her afternoon nap… I spied a friend talking with other people I didn’t recognize. But what really caught my eye, was a handsome dog also standing in the group. I had to ask. “HI! Excuse me, but what breed is…

The End of a Journey
How do you start? How do you begin to tell the story when your heart is ripped out and tears pour from your eyes? Your fingers spend as much time wiping your eyes and nose as they do typing. This is the post all dog owners know they will write at some point. The one…
Laser Thoughts
Forgot my camera. I know. I *always* have it with me… and it was only 50′ away… but Lucas and I were in the vet’s office for a laser treatment today, and I didn’t remember it until he had his little goggles on and the vet tech was giving him his treatment. There’s nothing seriously…

Honestly Puzzle

Wordless Wednesday – “Snow Lover”
Lucas, my snow lover, would much rather be out laying in the snow than in my hot house!!!
Minute Movie – Trailing from Ritchie’s Pasture
