Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
Don't Leave Daddy
Don't Leave Daddy

Don't leave Daddy.
I'm not ready to
let you go.
I may be grown-up,
but I'm still your little girl.

Take my hand, Daddy.
I'll hold on tight to
keep you here with me.
There is so much to do,
much left unsaid.

I need you, Daddy.
It's a big, cruel world
out there.
I'm not ready to face it
on my own yet.

Goodbye, Daddy.
Tears slide down my
grief-stricken face.
I struggle to let you go
on a journey that you
must travel alone.
