Bye-bye, Deedee

Yesterday we said goodbye to Deedee, who decided that being a guide dog wasn't for her.  I'm so thankful for the Guide Dogs for the Blind organization, that is committed to its purpose and to the dogs.  I know that GDB will find a placement for Deedee where she will thrive.  Who knows?  With Deedee's energy and drive, we might read about her climbing Mt. Everest someday! 


Deedee started the day like every other day, waiting patiently for the OK to eat breakfast.

After fueling up, we played outside for a while.



Then it was bath time.  (No photo of that--have you ever tried bathing a dog and taking a photo at the same time?!)

After drying off, there was time to tackle another chew toy before leaving to catch the puppy truck back to the Guide Dog for the Blind campus.

Bye-bye, Deedee!  I wish you the best in your new phase of life.

Thanks for Guide Dog puppies, and those who career-change, too.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
