Colorado is having a high winds today. Mom says its the early start of spring time (usually in March), something called in like a lion and out like a lamb. She is hoping we will get mild weather soon.
Here is my Haiku telling you just how I feel:
- The wind makes me bark
- Waking me from my nightmare
- Of chasing my tail

Today’s Muse
Muse: A source of inspiration and a guiding spirit.
Today’s Muse is Madeline who I met at the pet food store (just one of many I frequent).
An adorable young lady who informed me that her t-shirt was a triple hand me down and showed me the worn spots and holes.
When I wondered if my dogs would like a goat dog kibble she ran to the back room and found a sample for them to try (it was pretty goaty stinky but after a few sniffs they gobbled it right down).
She also made sure I got my cash discount and reminded the owner of the store to figure out a good discount for my huge purchase of over 100 lbs of dog food and several bags of parrot food.
This young lady had me smiling the whole time I shopped and I realized that she made my day a better day with her bubbly personality. Madeline inspired me to be more friendly and helpful and to pay attention to those around me!
My Hero and Today’s Muse, Madeline.
This Week’s Extreme Dog Treats!
Hi! Roscoe, Monty and Henry here with a guest blog post. What’s in the treat bin this week?
Yup those are freeze dried pig snouts. How do they taste? Don’t know yet… Mom is kind of dragging her feet because she said they are kind of gross. There are little nose hairs on them!
A good standby. Dried dish skins, they stink so good.
And especially for Roscoe because he hates the fireworks two boxes of calming aid.
These are roasted chicken flavor and when mom opened one of the packages it smelled soooooo good!
We told mom we were all scared but she knew we just wanted a “lick”!

Donating Platelets and Plasma
Platelets only last for five days. The need for donors is high. Plasma can be collected at the same time as platelets.
These blood components are used to treat accident victims, organ and marrow transplant recipients, cancer and heart surgery patients and those with blood-related diseases like sickle cell anemia.
What can you do while you are hooked up to the machine? I always watch a movie. This time I watched Hugh Jackman in The Greatest Showman. No long lines, no talking audience, no rustling treat bags, no slurping, and no big ticket price.
And best of all a warm blanket!
Delivered! 100 Pots for Cancer Survivors.
What an amazing event! Each survivor got a pin describing the length of their journey, here is my pin celebrating one year!
The students from Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School helped by decorating 99 pots for cancer survivors. Each pot was signed by the child and also adorned with a live peace lily plant.
The pots sure made for festive table decorations and treasured favors for each cancer survivor to take home to remember the celebration.
Not a pot was left at the end of the day. But wait, for those of you who can count I said 99 pots were decorated by the students. What is the mystery surrounding the 100th pot?
No mystery, as the organizer of getting the pots painted I actually did one pot as a sample so we would have a dry one for the kids to pass around and look at.
I went on a hunt for my pot and was going to try to take MY POT home with me. When I found the pot this lovely gentlemen was not going to give it up, not even in trade for a different pot!
I was happy to meet the recipient of my pot and get a picture taken with him. He was happy to meet the artist who painted his pot. We also shared a huge hug.
100 pots for the cancer survivors celebration delivered!
