MaN’s BeSt FriEnD.  That’s what our dog, Walter, was to my husband, Scott.  They were best buddies.  Sadly, ‘ole Wally went to Dog Heaven yesterday. I say “sadly”.  However, Walter did have a full life.  He was 12 years, 1 month, and 27 days old.  That’s 80-something in human years.  So, he actually lived aContinue reading “{Dog Heaven}”

{What Enriches Your Life?}

Our dog, Walter does a lot of things.  Here are just a few… This has been a silly post, so what’s the point?  (Not that there always has to be a point to all our posts.  Sometimes we may share something “just because”.)  However, I’ve shared pictures of our dog Walter because he truly enriches ourContinue reading “{What Enriches Your Life?}”

Meet Walter

LiFe LeSsOnS can come from many sources.  Meet WaLtEr.  This is our 11-year old ChOcOLatE lab.  When I got married he was part of the deal.  At first I wasn’t real thrilled with this bundle of energy.   He was not yet two-years old, a male (obviously), and came from a line of field champions.  Since thatContinue reading “Meet Walter”
