Considering my age and my general health it's a good thing that I want to gather as many healing things in my life as I can. At the top of the list are my husband and friends but the garden, yoga, and the music or Ernesto Cortazar are close behind but something new has been added to my life that is a major healing factor and her name is Moxie. We have had Moxie now for 4 weeks and she is settling in. She is 3 years old and we are adopting her. In the beginning she was very anxious about abandoned She cried and cried the first two days but then she decided I was going to be her best friend and is at my side every minute of every day. The dogs we have had tended to favor one or the other of us. Maggie's was Ron's dog, Fritz was my dog, Morris was Ron's dog, but this dog is definitely my dog and is a gift from heaven. We got her from a breeder who was trying to find a home for her. Her lot in life was to produce puppies for bucks but it did not go well so no pups, no bucks, no dog. She had never been on a leash or had been taken on a walk but now she loves her walks every day. She was very overweight, and we have been working on that and hope to have her in good shape by Spring. By choice she sleeps under my bed right under my head and anytime during the night I can lay in the dark and listen to her breathe. she loves to cuddle and I need to cuddle her sp it's a win-win situation I had been telling everyone all year I needed either a great grandbaby or a new puppy and now I am going to have both.

ReplyDeleteA wish for a happy healthy new year to you and your house.
I remember when you were about to get Morris, we talked about the A.A. Milne poem "Disobedience". It's a favorite of mine. This holiday season an older lady came into the bookstore with her daughter and son-in-law and asked if we had any A.A. Milne books. We had two older paperbacks in the kids section, including When We Were Very Young, which is the one she chose. Her kids were impatient and tried to hurry her along by "helping" her get her wallet out and put the change away. I could tell she was losing patience with their "help." I stuck a bookmark into the book at Disobedience and told her that was my favorite poem in the book. She asked which poem it was and I said, "James James..." and she finished the first line. We had a moment; Two old ladies admiring words written long ago for a little boy...
