Words to live by....

Love and Compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them we cannot survive.

Orphink is Patches!

Quick note on the lost dog:

The owner saw the note (finally) I left on the bulletin board at the little convenience store here in Bay City. She called this morning. After 5 days, this afternoon we had a happy reunion! Shannon lives two block above us on the hill; we still can't figure out how a blind, almost-can't-walk dog got so far in a driving storm. She was out all night, according to Shannon. Shannon's mom put the dog out to potty in the (unfenced) yard while Shannon was sleeping - we think perhaps the storm and rain got her nose scrambled, Patches couldn't find her way back to their porch.

Patches is 12 years old; Shannon has had her from puppyhood. Shannon is mid-20s, a single mom with 3-year old twins and a lab pup. What a houseful!

I neglected to take a photo of Shannon and Patches before they left - but we offered to be her dog-sitter anytime, so maybe we'll see her again.

We miss her already, she was a sweetheart!

You never know what adventure will fall into your lap. I just found a new favorite saying:

"Come what may - and love it!"
