A Tale of Two Walks A Tail of Two Walks

A new dog enticing us to walk “C’mon Harley.” Oh, what’s that?
Strolling through the neighborhood “No, Harley.” A stick!
Waving hello to neighbors outside “Drop it, Harley!” A bark chip!
Looking closely at each house “COME. ON. HARLEY.” STOP!
The front door, the landscaping “Let’s go, Harley.” What’s that smell?
Picking up the pace “Almost home, Harley.” Grass.Grass.Grass.
Does she think she is a sidewalk hoover? “Harley. No!” A pebble!
Around the corner “Yucky, Harley.” Spit-it-out. Yucky.
And back home Sigh. Ah, home.

  2. Oh, I love this. You are going to have fun with Harley! And he's already started sharing his voice. I don't know how old Harley is, but check out puppy classes at some point. When I took Chloe, they asked what we expected our dogs to learn. My only request was that I could take her for a walk and have her listen to me. And she does. For the most part :)

  5. What fun. I haven't had a dog since I was a kid. We are cat people now. There is such joy in puppies. How can you not smile when they do things, even things you don't want them to do?

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
