5/18/20: Haircuts Will Come

It’s okay. We’re doing okay. So are you. And haircuts will come.

5/16/20: Rough Day in the R-W Den

Rough day in the R-W den, for both humans and pups. And still we do hard things. Even when they last longer than we thought they would. And I am remembering that there’s a chance to relax and know things on the exhale of every deep breath I take.

5/12/20: Paws Every 30 Minutes

This is your reminder to paws every 30 minutes and take two deep breaths. 6……4….6……

5/10/20: Be At Home

Be at Home

Lord, this house has shrunk.
Three floors of living space,
and we stack ourselves in
one room.
By the mercy of God
or a deeper toolbox,
we get along.
We who have fought
like cats in a bag,
seeking refuge 
from the world 
in incompatible ways,
make popcorn, 
and sit,
and watch 
the same 
damn show
for one
sweet 
hour.

5/9/20: Paws

Paws.

P.S. It was a No-Inside-Puddles Day. Good boy..!
