Not Just a Dog

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

The Big Day!

We are on our way to MSU right now am I am feeling incredibly calm. I have the van all packed, Lucky is napping in the back and my Mom is driving so hopefully I can rest. Getting up at 5 a.m. is horrible and Lucky was not to fond of it either, laying in bed until I made him get up to eat. Gotta go now and say my prayers

rain rain go away

The night before the big trip to MSU, its raining and I am feeling so nervous but so blessed that I am able to do this for Lucky. I have been preparing for three years and I still feel completely unprepared. I know for certain that everything will be okay because it has to be. I received the most amazing card yesterday and it gave me so much faith that this is in Gods hands and those are very trustworthy hands to be in. I still am having trouble with the thought of being away from him for minimum 2 nights. I have never been so sad to have the whole bed to myself. Until tomorrow I must go and spend time with my baby. Good night
