This was a picture a did a while back. I titled it, Dragon Soft, you’ve seen it before shortly after I painted it. As sometimes happens, I paint something put it away, and don’t look at it again, till doing something else I come across it.
Today we are moving into several weeks into the journey of our cancer voyage. Each day is a new day, nd every day, I am blessed with the kind words, and messages of friends who remind me that they are holding us in their prayers and sending healing vibes our way.
It is an amazing feeling to know that there is such caring and thoughtfulness surrounding us. I appreciate it especially when out of the blue, I am struck down with an over-whelming feeling of “tired”. It is like nothing I’ve ever known, and I really can’t describe it. Everything just seems to grind to a halt.. and I NEED.. to sit down, close my eyes, and just wait for the moment to pass.
When my husband is out, I find I’m waiting for him to come home, just so I know he is safe. I know that over the course of the next weeks, even months.. I will be inconsistent with my blog. I beg your patience. I am eternally grateful for your continued friendships and support.

Pepsi needed a skirt, shorts, or jeans, I couldn’t find anything suitable, so we painted a pair of bloomers for her. I think that she looks pretty “neat”. Next I will dig up a pair of shoes for her feet.

Usually Velcro will nestle down into his blankets for his night-time sleep. This is our boy now that he wants to make sure his “Mom” is OK. He positions himself where he can make sure I’m alright, and if I move or get up.. he’s watching and listening. We both miss our Canaille.
This beautiful gal is one of the whippets we visited the other day. Look how amazing her colouring is. Her top coat a soft fawn, with a delightful pattern of dots showing through. There is something very humbling about how a dog will engage in an interaction with a human. She is standing here with her trainer, happy to share the limelight with him. Unconditional love.
It wasn’t till we adopted Velcro that we discovered the world of whippets and sight hounds.
When we open our hearts and lives to new possibilities, it is always amazing to discover that there is love all around.

My husband and I thank each and every one of you, your prayers, and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated. He has begun seeing the medical team that will be working with him over the next weeks and months. Keep those prayers and healing energies coming this way. =^_^= There is love in prayer, Oyashikiri… God is love…. Oyashikiri
the wind blew
rain fell
still my heart
simply lay
like a heavy stone
the light had gone
the sun no longer shone
I was not alone
yet I know
I am still
mourning
and nothing
can be done
till the moment comes
that tears are done
you gave unconditional love
now you soar above the clouds
your wings the brilliance of stars
I miss your earthly presence
but for you, free of pain
and earthly ties
you are now free
you will always be
the forever angel in my heart

gave meaning to the word love
always my sunshine and light!
Waiting is over, now the dolls need only to practice their lines, and decide which spells to cast when the time comes.
This was a lot of fun……… more to come.
Have a great start to the week-end. every one.
Remember – PL Precept #1 Life is Art make the best of every day! Come what may!

Some doors, are simply necessary. required to gain access to a building for service or product. Other doors, also serve a similar need, but look very different, and what they deliver is often more philosophical, and/or spiritual.
Going through a small town, I saw lots of doors, and opportunities, but travelling on my own with a dog in the car, I felt that I shouldn’t make so many stops, although the weather was nice and breezy.
At the bank, they told me that dogs were welcome, (obviously I was not in the city, but a small town)… so… next time… I now I can bring Velcro in with me. He did very well today, it was our first time, touring the country side on our own.
We stopped at the breeders, so he could visit with his “distant relatives” and former pack mates. That was such a nice experience for us, his tail wagged, and his mates were happy to run in the enclosure and frolic in the fresh air. Since Canaille’s passing, he has been on his own, and at times.. feeling the “loss” of his friend and companion of many years.
We forget that it is not only the humans that grieve, but a pack member will also feel the loss, Keeper, a female whippet who is expecting in the next week or so, was very nurturing with him. It was a tender moment, they shared, and it lifted some of the weight of our loss from our shoulders.
On the way home we stopped at a couple of farms for fresh corn on the cob, cauliflower and broccoli. This is the time of year to really indulge. =^_^=
Guess who will have steamed cob on the corn for supper…..
Till next time, thanks for the visit.

Hello ….. Yellow …..
Your glow
is so nouveau
bravo
yellow
When a friend lets you down
there is disappointment along with a frown
it won’t last long,
never-the-less it smarts
or hurts that someone you care for
so casually drops the ball
thinking nothing of how you feel
and appears not to care at all
on the surface
nothing seems changed
yet, I know now
that altho’ we had/have plans
my friend will again,
drop the ball
if a more attractive offer comes along
not a pretty reality, is it
I am thinking that
our definition of friendships
are not the same at all
sad..
