An excerpt:
Mother Nature
surely has a plan for all to envision her splendor whenever she beckons. The
universe around us is so great and holds within the essence of our very being.
Life evolves as we experience changes and growth. We set forth both enduring
and embracing our destiny.
Yes, growth;
toes sinking down into the soft gooey mud with rain pouring down drenching what
use to be nice warm pajamas.
The booming thunder overhead provides a challenging setting for nature’s
calling for a young pup. The sheer joy of not being fried to a crispy critter
by the lightning bolts does tend to leave a certain sense of gratitude.
The splendor of a sunset
normally leaves a peaceful feeling with the most beautiful colors painted
across the sky. The closing of yet another adventurous day, with nightfall and
darkness drifting throughout left an air of uncertainty for me. I snuggle down
into my soft, cozy blanket.
Binky Bear is already fast asleep and snoring rather loudly...or maybe that is
Dad again. The air has a funny smell causing my little puppy fur to stand on
end, which is not easy for all those ringlets to do. I close my eyes and put my
chin on Binky so that he will not be afraid.
The loud thunderous boom
shakes the walls and even the floor causing my bed to walk a few steps across
the room. I raise my head and open my eyes wide to adjust to the darkness. Sudden bursts of bright light fill the
room ever so often. I look under my bed to see if Dad put training wheels under
it. Logically this would explain my sudden departure and relocation. I wag my
tail finding the most wonderful surprise...my lost doggy biscuit is right
there. Maybe the tooth fairy pup left it since I gave her my first little
tooth. Well actually, I think I gave
it to Dad since he found it in his foot. Mom convinced me not to eat the tooth.
She said that if I put it under my bed,
the tooth fairy pup would bring me a treat.
The loud booming thunder
and crack of lightning bolts across the sky send my whole little puppy body
right out of bed. I race across
the floor to find Mom at a lightning fast speed. As I snuggle down beside her, I must have accidentally pointed the wrong
puppy part right in Dad’s face. I cannot tell if the word’s “Rusty” or the
booming thunder is louder. Which prompts me quickly to snuggle down under the
covers to my safety spot; my cave as Dad calls it. I carefully tiptoe down to
the end of the bed as not to put my little paws on Dad. That is, until I find
his toes. What a smell, this is better than my bugs...maybe he will not mind if
I just sample a few of them. My tiny tongue licks ever so lightly on first his
big toe and then the next one. My delight, suddenly brought to a halt, as Dad
bolts upright in the bed leaving the cave door open for both of us to be
exposed to the firework display. Dad must have found his vision to be able to
move that quickly. I wonder why he is grabbing the legs of his pajamas shaking
them as if he found a bug. I remember how Dad put a bug in his pocket...I
wonder if he puts them in his pajamas too.
