The Christmas Guest

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Shoeful of Drool

Christmas Eve 2014. It is raining hard when I pull into the Saving Grace parking lot. I was about half an hour early and they weren’t quite ready, so I slogged back to the car. At least it wasn’t a … Continue reading →

Bunnies, Click Beetles and Squirrels

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Shoeful of Drool

I know I’ve mentioned what a good dog Louie is to walk with. He keeps a good pace, doesn’t pull and he doesn’t sniff every single blade of grass before he pees. He shows little interest in cats but he … Continue reading →

Posted on July 6, 2014 by Shoeful of Drool

It’s been an eventful week.  Louie tested the Thundershirt when Hurricane Arthur came to visit last Thursday. Let me say, I have yet to hear any thunder and where I live, my deck barely got wet during the hurricane, but … Continue reading →

Not Exactly Midas

Posted on June 29, 2014 by Shoeful of Drool

Mom is in a mood, so I convinced her to let me write the post this week. I don’t know why she’s so miffed, we just had a lovely walk through the neighborhood. A “cold” front blew through yesterday afternoon … Continue reading →

Ridges & Whorls

Posted on June 22, 2014 by Shoeful of Drool

The first thing I noticed about Louie when we met 6 months ago was his beautiful topaz colored eyes. The second thing I noticed was the ridge of hair between his eyes and down his snout and wondered how he … Continue reading →

Walking with Louie

Posted on June 8, 2014 by Shoeful of Drool

Louie is an absolute joy to walk with. He walks at a good pace and only stops a few times to do his business. The other day his pace was so fast, we knocked off about three minutes from our … Continue reading →

The Nose Knows

Posted on May 26, 2014 by Shoeful of Drool
