I love this so much!😍

I know that I will never see the canals you love so much, but through your words, I can feel them.

😍 You have so much talent and creativity!

Soon we will wake up to all the bird songs at the crack of dawn! I love that time of day.

The titmice, white throated sparrows and the juncos stay the entire winter up here by me. The cardinals should be fighting soon as I had basically a flock of 8 at my feeders all season. They have been very vocal the past week. Spring is here!

I have some extra you can have.

An aside, I worked and volunteered for years for a pitbull rescue, the hardest, but most rewarding work I ever did.

All dogs thrive with love and routine. Your love for Edgar doesn't waiver but a new routine, a way for him to feel secure, needs to be created. It's doable. Edgar is headstrong, but he is smart and sensitive. Routine and a sense of security can really work with reactive,headstrong, sensitive dogs.

Pitties are that, but they are very sensitive. So much has happened, so much change, he lost you for a few days, Boy #1 appears/disappears, you, his person, has changed. He's not acting out from defiance, it's insecurity, his world has been rocked, and because he can't speak, he becomes erratic.

Aging/Illness requires compromise within ourselves and we grieve the loss of what was. You feel that, Edgar is sensing that. Can you create a new normal for both of you, a routine, quiet time, free from stress? I truly believe Edgar will settle down. He's acting out because he doesn't understand.

Could it be that Edgar is sensitive to the stress and routine change that is happening? Like children, dogs can act out when they don't understand and feel the tension, themselves feeling fearful. Boy#1 was able to help not only you but Edgar.With him traveling, that safe base is gone.

So sorry this happened🤬

Sometimes you just have to prove them wrong(I also don't believe everything on the internet)

I should take Champagne Jam out and listen to " The Ballad Of Lois Malone". A blast from the past for sure!

Keep being you! You are appreciated for exactly who you are. I get so angry when I hear about how your dad treats you. You deserve better, always have deserved better. I had parents like yours, it's taken years to understand that children never should be treated that way, never. Even as adults.

Congratulations on another year around the sun 💫Wishing you all the good things because you deserve all the good things! Glad you are here sharing your art, humor, and kindness with us. 🥳🎈🎉

I am always filled with hope, when I see the flocks of geese return in the spring. I live under a flyway and am lucky to witness flock after flock return following the same route as generations of their ancestors have been following since time in memorial.

I haven't watched TV for over 34 years, and I don't stream either, never did Netflix or any others. Not enough hours in a day....

I remember some actual writing pressed into the vinyl right next to the lab…

I listened to the entire video. How I wish that I could find comfort. Solitude is wonderful, no issues feeling valid. But the pain of one’s body falling apart is real. Aging is not peaceful for all. It feels like a cruel joke.

I appreciate your posts more than ever in times like these, when it feels like despair lurks in every corner.

The sky was clear until an hour before, than the snow clouds rolled in 😢

Please, let your doctor know asap. 😟

This brought me happy tears🥰

We are unaware at the time how small acts of kindness can take root in our memory and hearts. Sorry to hear about your uncle.

You raised a good boy! He is there when it matters the most with care and love for you.

The calm after the storm.

The expected blizzard was a bust where I live, instead some snow duckies appeared.

I agree with Pearl!
Gives my heart warm and fuzzy feeling.
