Puppies – almost 2 weeks

19 January 2005 No Comments

All 7 pups seem to be doing just grand – like little, plump sausages that sometimes wiggle and squeal. Mama Grace is still doing the Mama thing so well, while coming back around to the lovely dog who runs to the door to greet me at lunch and at night.

By the weekend, perhaps the pups will begin to open their eyes. What fun!

Puppies are born pretty helpless: their eyes won’t open for 2 weeks, their ears won’t open for 4. But, they can smell Mama and they know how to eat.

I tried to take pictures, but they are so tiny and black (and Mama Grace is black as well) – so that will have to wait. There are 7 of them, born last night beginning about 6 pm CST – so right now they are between 25 and 27 hours old…..

New Year’s Resolutions – Maybe

6 January 2005 Comments Off

OK – so, my resolution wrt this site is to post more often! Like once a day add something that has crossed my mind.

Assignment: Find 5 things to be grateful for….

Response:

  1. A beautiful anniversary card from John
  2. The pleasure of a small, very pregnant dog when I do something simple like rub her belly gently
  3. The health of all 3 of my children
  4. Friends (sisters in Christ) like Mies, Amanda & Rosalee who can share joy and grief and love
  5. feeling better – and less bitchy today than yesterday

Resolution carried out for one day….

  • Renewal
    Ten years ago, I was moving back into this house after a five month sojourn around town. The house had burned in March and we spent the spring and summer inhabiting interesting digs: a condo designed for folks who wanted a nice place close to campus for football weekends, followed by the summer in an […]
  • Touched
    This morning at mass we sang “Servant Song” for the presentation of the gifts. This is the one that starts out with “What do you want of me, Lord? Where do you want me to serve you.” It became even more moving to me than usual because of Mery. Mery is our newest music team […]
  • Convicted
    Have you ever heard a “born-again” Christian refer to being “convicted”? I’ve spend some time thinking about that phrasing. So often it is taken to mean that Jesus, as judge and jury has taken someone into a court of law, and tried that person and found that person “guilty.” An unloving, uncharitable, hard-line image, to […]
