Saturday, January 26, 2019

Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. Mattie was posing with his art work that I had taped to the front of his hospital door. I am not sure why I did this! But I suspect it was for two reasons. First, of course to highlight Mattie's work, so he could see it, but second, I wanted to remind hospital personnel who would barge in through the door at all hours of the day and night that a child was living behind this door. I am not sure my visual message ever made an impact on those who freely walked in, but when confined in a place and lacking control, it was amazing what I resorted to. 




Quote of the day: Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job. ~ Franklin P. Jones 

I would say tonight's quote is quite accurate! Look at this sad face in this photo! What was Sunny moping around for? Simply because I wasn't dressed yet to take him out for his second walk of the day! Doesn't he look like he lost his best friend?

This photo may not mean much to you, but basically Sunny's back end was sitting on one step and his front paws were on another. He wasn't sure who to pay attention to.... me upstairs getting dressed or Peter who was standing in front of him putting on his sneakers. Sunny is all about being outside and walking, and truly doesn't care who is taking him. But in this case, he wasn't sure who was going to meet his needs, which is why he was sitting on the steps. Equidistant from both Peter and me. 

Meanwhile this was what I saw when I looked downstairs! Someone looking up at me. Mind you while I was taking a shower, he moved right outside my bathroom door. When I opened the door, he was literally laying right outside like a carpet! The beauty of Sunny!
