Dear Diary, The Best Thing has happened!! There is a New Invention that has come to our house. It is called A Dog Door. It is just for Dogs Like Me to go In and Out of the House. A Man came two weeks ago. When he left, then we had The New Dog Door. It was The Best Day of My Life. I went In and Out and In and Out and Out and In. When I don’t feel like going all the way out, I can peek out the door. I like to Run Outside and Scare the Squirrels off My Deck. Mom says it makes me

Dear Mom, I had SO MUCH FUN with Shoes today!! Love, Arya

A Bless to Me prayer by Jack. Bless to me this morning in the Spring, This cool air that means The door can be left open (for a little while).

Dear Diary, Mom says it has been One Year Since I Came To Live At This House. Here is the story she told me: “It was a cold night and you followed Jack and me home from the park. You sat on the front porch and you did not leave. It was going to be freezing that night, so we brought you in to sleep in Jack’s crate. “We looked and looked for your family. We put up pictures and we posted your photo on Facebook. But we got lucky and got to keep you. “You were a handful. You chewe

Dear Diary,  The whole family went to something called a Dog Park. We got in the car and drove a Long Way. Then when we got out of the car I could smell Lots and Lots and Lots of Dogs. I could not smell Any Cats.  We went through a funny door and then Mom took Jack’s leash off. And he ran around and said hi to Lots and Lots and Lots of Dogs. There were Big Dogs and Little Dogs. There were Old Dogs and Young Dogs.  Mom said I was doing Pretty Good and she took my leash off. An

Dear Diary, Last night, Mom came down into the Forest to “see what you have been barking at.” There has been Something Suspicious there for a week. I have been telling it that I See It And I Am Not Afraid. Mom said it was a Snake Skin from "Our Friend Who Eats the Moles.” She took a stick and chopped it up in little pieces. And when I tried to eat a piece or two, she covered it up with a pile of leaves!!! That was Not Very Nice. (It tasted like chicken.) Now she is calling me

Dear Diary, I have been attending something called “Obedience Class.” There are lots of dogs and lots of people and LOTS OF TREATS! We go into a big pen and then all the dogs and all the people do whatever the man in the middle says to do. “Sit.” “Down.” “Stay.” “Walk.” And every time I do these things I GET A TREAT!! It is very exciting. We go to “Obedience Class” every week. And my brother doesn’t get to come. We have “homework.” The man in the middle says we have to pract

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Dear Diary, Last night, just as I was getting ready to eat my dinner, my bowl flew in the air and all of the food fell out. I jumped out of the way, and then I didn&#8217;t know what to do. Mom told me to go ahead and eat even though my dinner was [&hellip;]</p>

I was featured in a workshop done by my mom at her conference in North Carolina last week. She was talking about Celtic Blessings and about her book, Christ Beside Me, Christ Within Me: Celtic Blessings . I got two whole slides in the PowerPoint presentation.

Bless to me each house I pass a
