dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
We Don't Get Out Much
When I tell people I have a hound dog for a house dog, they don't usually know what to expect. My dog is a German Shepherd mixed with a Treeing Walker Coonhound, and it should be noted that both of those breeds usually produce dogs of about 60lbs to 80lbs, give or take. I have the best of both worlds: Kobe, and his tall, lanky hound dog frame, packed with German Shepherd muscles, and black and tan coloring, coming in at about 110 pounds and begging for more food every chance he gets. Have a burger? Keep an eye on it, Kobe will snatch that right out of your hand if you aren't careful. I've lost many sandwiches, a couple of burgers, and even a piece of cake to him just by not paying attention.

Wild and Free
The Trail It was a beautiful summer day and the birds were up and chirping. Xena trembled with excitement as our tires came to a halt in the Thompson Park lot. She tilted her head back and let out a howl from deep in her chest. Her bright blue eyes stared back at me intently. There was a twinkle in her eyes that highlighted their unique quality: one bright blue, the other half blue and half a light marbled brown. Her expression revealed a warm smile, but also one of discipline and purpose. I placed my hand firmly on her head and gently stroked the bridge of her nose. She let out a low purring growl. The intent in her gaze softened a bit.

A Midday Dream That Was Taken Too Soon
It was an opportunity for rebirth. The type of afternoon nap that can only come after strenuous work. Slightly sunburned skin serves as the antithesis to cool sheets, and sleep begins that will end with a questioning of the year when it began.

A Girl's Favorite Companion
I have always been a believer in celebrating life, and joyfully remembering those who were once a part of it. A little over a month ago now, I had to say goodbye to my best friend since I was 12 years old. My sweet, crazy, angel of a dog, Buster. While there is definitely still a piece of my heart missing, I want to share with the world the joy, love, and comfort that Buster provided me with for all of these years.

Luna Bee
It was a hot day, even for a Texas Summer. Or, maybe I was just particularly sensitive this day, raw with a broken heart and a disease that makes me essentially allergic to sunlight. I was used to the whole Lupus thing by now, but never did get used to being alone. It was the Summer of 2020, and I, along with everyone else on the planet, was shut off from the rest of the world, hiding away from something still new and scary. I had met a man a few months prior. It was one of those relationships that you throw yourself into in order to forget about something else. For me, this one was about forgetting a man I had loved for five years who decided that long-distance was too hard and I was no longer worth trying for. This new guy was great at first, a musician who adored me and thought like me, who saw a future with me. Until he didn't.

❤️My Special Moments With Keta Frazier
I made a friend out of Keta! When we first adopted her I’d promised to ever after make friends with her, and the best. It was about four years ago back in 2018 when we adopted her. My sister’s college friend reasoned with us a good price to adopt her into our family. We went to the Tacoma mall krispy cremes to exchange money and dog, and then she became ours! At first, it was a lot of hard work! She would poop and pee everyday on our carpet. We had to purchase a lot of clean up stuff from newspapers to pet dog papers/light white cotton mats that she could pee and poop on . We’d tried everything! Although we were very angry at first about all the poop and pee we had to get up on a daily basis, I never gave up on her! It helped me to remember when we lost our last dog that were on our third and they say third times a charm that’s one of my dreams that came true with Keta. Yes! Keta is a Pure Bred German Shepard! I’d always dreamt of having the girl one so here she is! She was trained by my mom and dad about how to jump over the little barriers, and going to dog park!Go potty outside. Now she’s a PRO! We had a blast! It was one of our first time’s there! I know it was mine. We gave her food and water. Around then summers/ summertime we take her to the dog park. My dad got it into his daily routine of taking her for daily walks. Me I continually work everyday but when I get home I get to see her everyday! The first time I went to dog park with Keta Frazier, she saved my life! Here it is I was wanting to roller blade for the first time down the patron smooth concrete and I veered off into the street Keta was coming to save my life! That’s when automatically I knew I’d built trust with here secretly! She was coming across the street to help me. Instead my mom called her back in the moment at the time. Keta is very, very, new to me! She does ask the things after all these years I’ve wanted my other puppies to do like, sit, give me your paw, “pet me please”, the great howl, and kisses and Huggies. Oh yeah, plus the woof woof in can I get a woof woof. She does it!
