Posted on December 24, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Posted on November 20, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Maverick and I went to visit our favorite doctor today – he has a “something” on his foot and Mommah worries.   I thought it was a tick but it’s not going away, he’s licking and it’s red and it looks … Continue reading →

Judged

Posted on October 29, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

I’ve thought about this all day.   I shouldn’t have let it bother me, but it keeps coming back to me. Thousands of people marching across a border is not a caravan, it’s an invasion.   I don’t invite strangers into my … Continue reading →

Posted on September 26, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Love in a bundle of fur

Posted on June 29, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Max was many things, but he was not much of a cuddler.   He loved people, but he was happy to have some distance between himself and anyone but a few.   He would put his head on my lap, push himself … Continue reading →

His name is Maverick

Posted on June 5, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

And he’ll be coming home in a few weeks. My empty, aching heart spoke last week, asked a friend where she got her dog.  She gave me the name of the breeder, I called and he has a litter. We … Continue reading →
