Happy Birthday to Stella

It's another less than happy day for me, Stella.







I'm flying south today
to honor the passing
of my dearest Aunt Jo.



I've never enjoyed airplanes
and even less so these days...


but I will be thinking of you
and her and
wishing you
peace and rest.


You would have been 15 years old today.













I will miss and think of you both

every day of my life.

Hurry Up, Sweet Tootsie!

The years rushed by for you, Toots

one minute you showed up

you two were turning gray...







you were even quick enough


to become fast friends

with Sasha

Dogspeed, sweet girl







I know you and Stella










will be together...

Barney Bugs

Word of warning to President-Elect Barack Obama, you probably don’t want to pet the "First Dog"

when you visit the White House on Monday (and we don't want you having second thoughts about getting a dog!).








Bush’s Scottish Terrier was not feeling too friendly on Thursday when a reporter tried to say hello and pet him on the White House driveway. Barney snarled and chomped down on Reuters Television correspondent Jon Decker’s index finger, causing some minor bleeding. White House medical staff attended to Decker’s injury and he will require a tetanus shot.



(Esp considering the Bush administration may have de-regulated
the USDA and Barney may be AWOL on his shots - who would be surprised?)

maybe the closest thing
















is Stephen Huneck's

"Dog Mountain"

a 400 acre mountain-top farm

in St. Johnsbury, Vermont

there's a dedicated staff
















on paw





waiting to greet



and welcome humans







and dogs alike

the Dog Chapel

was built to celebrate

the spiritual bond

we have with our dogs.

people come from all over

to post their tributes on the remembrance wall

Sasha made some new friends,

enjoyed some treats

and waited patiently

while we posted Stella's photos

and a note for Ella too

it's

heavenly

there













Dog Mountain is located at 143 Parks Road in St. Johnsbury, Vermont

Love puts on a new face

we're as young as the night

no telephones ringing

no

company

coming

just the lap of the lake

and the firelight

a lonely loon












and a crescent moon

what a pocket

of heavenly grace

in France they say...

every day

love puts on a new face

love has many faces...










many

many faces
