Resources. Rescue. Connection.
My Prince’s Gift: “Get out and enjoy life.” I’ve been trying to figure out what Prince’s obsession with r-i-d-es has been, the last few days. He’s always enjoyed them, yet now he’s almost crest-fallen if we don’t go at least once every day. Today it hit me … I kept hearing some message about, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Rest: sometimes what we best need is to recharge.” More and more, Prince is either plastered to my side nudging me to pet him or touch him OR he’s nesting away from me. I’m now keeping a comforter on the floor in the laundry room where he retreats to. The brown, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Respect, like love, is an action word.” I made an agreement with Prince when this all started that I would respect and honor his choices. I’m fortunate in that he and I are so connected, I easily “hear” what Prince is saying to me. When I’m not listening, he finds other, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Make a choice; you can always make another choice.” I made the choice to let Prince make his own choices about his path with his stomach cancer. He’s a boy with a serious behavioral issue, biting, which we haven’t had to deal with in some time. The choices he’s made already, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Embrace the quiet.” I’ve been of the higher energy, active ilk most of my life. I was running at age nine months even. Quiet has not been my “friend” much of my life; I’m learning how to be friends with it now. Another gift from Prince since I’ve never made peace, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Connect.” All dogs are pack animals; yet Dachshunds in particular are. There’s a great lesson in how we all inter-relate. My dogs think of me as “just another dog”, albeit head of the pack. In nature, when one of the pack as ill, the mourning would likely be quick. There’s mostly, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Go with the flow.” Today was generally a good day, as a couple of different friends asked me tonight. I find it odd that my life seems to be mostly about how mostly Prince and Blaze do on a particular day. I am fortunate in that I am home with them,, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Face reality.” I wasn’t ready to write more on “Face reality” last night. I could give myself a hard time about it; or I could just accept it. Some of it’s because I suspect I’m going to cry; and I haven’t done much of that in weeks and weeks. Frankly, I’ve, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Be grateful”. I didn’t quite get to our post for last night as I got seduced and lured into snuggling with the yummiest guy … well, it may have been guys and a girl. Nonetheless, pups needed mommy’s undivided attention. Each time I went to type “Be grateful” .. I typed, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Love comes in all forms”. I like the saying about how “love is an action verb” or more than just words. The concept which I am learning to embody, thanks to Prince is that “love is words and actions”; hence, all forms. In one day, I’ve experienced … it’s about trusting, ~ LEARN MORE ~
