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!
The Path
The Path

Don't stray the path
they said.
Tread where all before you
have tread.
Yet, she wandered.
A little from the path,
a little farther.
The deeper into the belly
of the forest,
the more wonders she beheld.
Serenity wrapped around her like
a comforting quilt
on a cold winter's night.
Losing herself in the forest,
she found herself.
Don't stray the path,
they said.
She merely smiles the smile
of one who
has discovered they were
misleading her.
