Memories

Oliver, I remember how small you were. How you whined and cried when you were left alone in your box/kennel while you were being house trained. I remember how you took to Cambridge, wanting to be with him everywhere. I remember sitting with the two of you, having structured together time; Cambridge was not fond of the new puppy and needed encouragement for patience, lessons on sharing, and reminders not to nip at the puppy. You hated going somewhere Cambridge did not go and wanted to go everywhere he did. You were always eager to love, ready for a pat on the head, playtime, offering a lick to the hand, even when I didn't put my best foot forward. Even when I scolded. What a small fluff you were. Loyal and anxious and mischievous. Wanting to climb into laps. Wanting more food, more time, more love. Always thinking you were still a puppy. Wanting to be the center of everything.

A Day at the Zoo

Last Saturday, before the sudden cold snap, we took a family to the Hogle Zoo. The weather was perfect--not too hot, not too cold. The animals were out and about.

In this picture, AL was a little nervous at first when the giraffe started to lower and tried to pull herself up the pole until she realized that the animal would rise up and sink down. Then, she was fine. She had a ball going around in circles and waving at everyone as we passed. The rest of my nieces and nephews who were old enough to care about riding on a carousel had ridden the turn before. What a fun day! Becca thanks for sharing this picture!

Dreaming Again...

It's been a while since I dreamed, figuratively and literally. Night before last, my dream was more of a night terror. Synopsis: it was like a very detailed, almost memory-esk dream of me when I was supposedly about 5 or 6ish. And I was a murderer. A serial killer. And good at it. It was terrible, detailed, disturbing, and terrifying. I don't remember the details of last night's dream, but I woke up with Maroon 5's "She will be loved" playing in my head. It's still stuck on repeat. Much better than stabby kid-ness though. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pUVxaYdgS_Q
