I understand “being taken over by events” … it’s happened to me more than I’d like to admit lately. All visits are much appreciated whenever they occur … and it’s fun to have you read and respond to something other than a T-13 for a change. I wish I had more time to visit more blogs regularly.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-13487460629487516922008-02-18T07:02:00.000-08:002008-02-18T07:02:00.000-08:00Oooh, I love haiku!

Haiku is a form that just comes naturally to me … perhaps because of my 34 years in the classroom?<BR/><BR/><B>AFF</B> – I have had two beagles … Charly and Clyde … (thankfully not simultaneously or I might have lost my sanity). Charly hung around because he loved our terrier mix, Ralph … but Clyde managed to get out constantly no matter WHAT we did to thwart his attempts. They both serenaded the neighborhood while we were at work … even though each had the company of a fur-companion constantly. Molly’s a Labrador Retriever with her own quirks, but she’d never take off.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the visit.

They can be <BR/>quite challenging to live with because they’re so willfully stubborn, but they’re cute & endearing as well and loyal to a fault. It’s important to remember and honor the fact that they’re “hunters” who eagerly follow the scent wherever it leads. <BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B> – Yup … just call me a sucker for puppies! Fortunately while I cared for the pup, my neighbors helped in the search and made many phone calls … so it was a joint effort.<BR/><BR/><B>Janet</B> – Not to worry. It’s an easy mistake to make because so many of the Haiku Friday participants are young moms :--)<BR/><BR/>Interestingly the experience helped me to see that Molly really doesn’t want to share her living space with another fur-friend even though she loves to play with other dogs. Thanks to all of you for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-28811642661602648082008-02-15T08:33:00.001-08:002008-02-15T08:33:00.001-08:00oops. not your daughter. i'm a dork and didnt read...oops. not your daughter. i'm a dork and didnt read right. yeeesh.the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-38376433309385830412008-02-15T08:33:00.000-08:002008-02-15T08:33:00.000-08:00i'm so glad this ended well... and isn't it funny ...i'm so glad this ended well... and isn't it funny how quickly you learned that your daughter isn't ready for a pet ;-)the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-47077622727528727372008-02-15T08:09:00.000-08:002008-02-15T08:09:00.000-08:00I'm so glad you took care of the puppy and diligen...I'm so glad you took care of the puppy and diligently searched for the owners...but then, of course you did.
