Today I got lost in the city. It was hot. I was in the car way too long. And by the time I got home I was worn out. Coco was too. No air conditioning.
So we rested for a little while and then took my friend to the grocery store. We had a nice visit. While we were walking down the vegetable aisle Coco heard something, a squeeky wheel on a distant grocery cart. It sounded like a toy. She was looking to see where the sound was coming from. I said, "Yes, I know, I heard it too." She was elated. We have been developing an understanding of each other's language for the past three plus years. She kept putting her nose in my hand and looking at me with this excited look in her eyes and a great big smile. It was so cute.
I picked up a few things and waited for my friend to finish checking out. I sat on a bench and Coco was looking out the window. Then another neighbor came by and we had a really nice visit. The cart was to the left of me so I told Coco to tell me when she saw our friend. So I'm gabbing and when Coco sees our friend she puts her paw on the cart and pulls it to me and then she stood and looked at our friend. The other neighbor I was visiting with was amazed. My friend saw it too. Coco never ceases to amaze her.
After a long day we had a nice relaxing night.
Even good working dogs need to nap every now and then.
I enjoy bringing together music, writings and research about topics that I find interesting. I like to share images of my artwork and write about what inspires me. Telling stories about Coco, my Akita Service Dog is one of my favorite things to do. And now and then, I write about what it is like to go through life with a Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD. These are the breadcrumbs that lead me back to a frame of mind or concept that would otherwise be forgotten.

Lemon - Who Knew?
I fixed some cod for dinner and steamed some spinach. When I squeezed lemon on the fish some got on the spinach.
It was so delicious.
Lemon and spinach....
Who knew?
