The Blessings of Lent

by Carole Duff | Feb 19, 2018 | Dogs & Other Creatures, Faith, Writing and Reading | 4 comments

Monday night, or more accurately, Tuesday morning, 1:00 am. Freya paced the floor in our bedroom. Panting. She needed to go out. Again. Before going to bed, we’d let the dogs out one at a time to do their usual quick “hurry up,” and she’d wandered off into the...

Do not be anxious about anything

by Carole Duff | Jan 22, 2018 | Dogs & Other Creatures, Faith, Local or Human Interest | 4 comments

At my command, Freya trotted into the basement shower. Usually, we bathe the dogs around the first of the month and let them dry on the deck. But since New Years, it’s been either too cold or wet outside, until this past Saturday. If given a choice, Freya would rather...

First snow of the season and on being indispensable

by Carole Duff | Dec 11, 2017 | Dogs & Other Creatures, Local or Human Interest, Nature | 0 comments

What About Those Rolling Stones?

by Carole Duff | Oct 30, 2017 | Dogs & Other Creatures, Faith, Local or Human Interest, Nature | 4 comments

Rain showers punctuated the day, and last night wind ushered in a cold front. Acorns and small branches battered the outside deck like gunfire. Our two large dogs huddled in the basement man cave while Keith and I watched Ghost Story, the 1981 film starring Fred...

Three Dog Tales

by Carole Duff | Oct 23, 2017 | Dogs & Other Creatures, Local or Human Interest | 0 comments

Remember me? My name is Pullo, but it used to be The Abandoned Dog Who Showed Up At Kim and Margaret’s Farm. Kim is Keith’s brother, and Carole wrote about me and took my picture when she and Keith found me while visiting Kim and Margaret back in August. I’m a German...
