Spring. . .
I love the freshness of Spring. The cherry blossom trees outside my office window shake their fragrant petals in the slight breeze and shower them on my puppy and me as I walk my white Westie terrier in the soft ambient light of the late-afternoon sun. I marvel at the tulips as they push their […]

Puppy Love; The Gift That Keeps Giving. . .
A tiny dread begins to fill the pit of my stomach. A frisson of fear fills my body as I hear a hissing sound from the backyard. Sheru! Sheru! I openly wail now. I know what that sound signifies. My six-month-old terrier’s been sprayed by a skunk. Again! This is the third time in […]
