She’d heard it clearly, just as if someone had leaned in close and whispered softly in her ear, “don't let grief then stay your hand.” Silence follows, broken only by the gentle breathing of the big… Continue reading NO LONGER AT MY SIDE BUT FOREVER IN MY HEART
A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft… Continue reading MAGNIFICENT FLYING DOGS – Groenvlei Lake, Goukamma
