Live Into the Question

Another day...sitting here at the keys hoping to revive my love for writing...searching...hoping to become more comfortable with the search... And maybe just wanting this journey is traveling in itself.

Parker Doodle-doo

Pat Charlie Parker Posey is my seven month old Boston Terrier puppy. We call her Parker, or Park, or Parker Doodle, or Parker Doodle-doo, or just Doodle. She is about 10 pounds, Brindle, with a white diamond on the back of her neck, a white underbelly, and white paws. She has ears like a bat and long legs like a model. Parker is a sweet little girl who is friendly to adults and children and animals. She is smart, obedient, and more than anything, loved. I am learning so much from her because she is all desire. If a smell or sound or texture attracts her, there is nothing she wants in the world but that. If she is hungry, nothing is on her mind but eating. She knows exactly what she wants, and she seeks after it. And when her desire is met (such as having her belly scratched) she feels nothing but pleasure. It's quite a lesson. And the way she loves me...her unchanging opinion of me, even when I am impatient or rude or unyielding or no fun...she forgives me and trusts me over and over again. Parker remembers that I am wonderful, even when i forget. May i be more like you, sweet girl.
