This is my foster pup, Gracie. She's a ball of love that will be an absolute dream dog for a family, especially with kids she can run around with (as much as her 19-hour daily sleep schedule allows).

I’ve been fostering this adorable pup for two weeks and she hasn’t had a single inquiry yet!
Precious (her shelter name) is 4 years old, very sweet and friendly, great in the house, loves every dog and person she’s met…she is a GEM.

There’s a Buddhist temple about half a mile from my house, and I often spend a few minutes in the Zen garden in back (open to the public daily).
It’s so peaceful. Quiet contemplation, stillness, breathing.
Amidst the chaos of the world, a respite.

The first Friday after Labor Day is known colloquially at least as “JFC I need a Cocktail” Friday. Cheers!

WTF. At 5:50pm I was voter #105 at my polling station.
105 people in nearly 11 hours is pathetic. Primary or not, this is why Worcester politics don’t change. When 10-12% of eligible voters actually show up and participate, you end up with perpetual cronyism serving the connected few.
Pathetic.

Both of my dogs loved the water. Oceans, lakes, rivers, kiddie pools, puddles...they couldn't get enough.
I've had Maxine and Pearl's paw prints for years. After Pearl died in May, I knew I wanted to upgrade them and adding water elements was the ideal fit...1/

I finished trimming the hedges tonight, 12 days after losing Pearl. I miss my landscape supervisor.
Grief is simultaneously one giant thing + a million little things.
Memories appear like ghosts floating in and out of your mind’s eye. Everything is a reminder and you already remember it all.

9 years and 9 days with the best dog that ever lived.
Pearl arrived, 4 years old and impossibly cute, right as I needed her most. She lifted me out of darkness and together we basked in the light, bright as the noonday sun. 1/

Celebrated 4 years with the most beautiful human being I’ve ever known, inside & out, with an exceptional dinner at Less Than, Greater Than in Hudson.
Against the backdrop of all the ugliness in America right now, this was a gift unto itself. ❤️🙏
