Dances with Dogs
When we got Ezra, our Carolina Dog puppy, in September 2019 at nine weeks of age, little did we know how drastically he would change our lives…then the world changed too. I’ve danced around with all my previous dogs, but not Ezra. Let me back up a bit before I go into the dancing further… Ezra focused on the neighbor dogs I’ve learned some things about Ezra that I won’t share here as it wouldn’t change a thing anyway. The truth is, that even though he was naturally reared, his dam wasn’t until she was...
read moreThe Body Natural
Years ago I began in earnest looking into a more natural way of caring not just for my dogs, but also for myself and husband. I owe my commitment to do so AND share with others to my dog Shadrach, an amazing Neo Mastiff. While he passed away in 2011, naturally here at home, I’ve continued to share on the body natural. my body butter and air freshener When I first began, I took it one step at a time first focusing on the needs of Shadrach. Then I learned that whatever I used in the house to clean, do laundry with, etc., was important to...

I am not advocating for any product nor do I necessarily agree with everything shared, I just want to provide you with viable solutions for your dog. ~Dr. Kim Bloomer “Do you have an aggressive pet at your place that won’t calm down no matter what you do?

read moreThe Pruning
Last year we also had so much rain in August and September that our yard was so lush and green. Then Ezra came in like a Velociraptor pruning the entire lower natural yard, as well as forcing us to do some major pruning in our upper yard, adding fence borders everywhere so he couldn’t destroy this more cultured (if you can call it that now lol) yard too! At least it was cultured and pretty BEFORE Ezra, EEK! The thing is, we haven’t had a puppy since King came to us at 13 months of age almost eight years ago! He...
read moreErza’s First Birthday
He thought he was the boss of me from day one 😂 On July 23rd, Ezra turned a year old. He has been with us now for just over 10 months. 🐕 It’s been hard for us in oh so many ways. He’s super intelligent, high energy and very pushy 😆. He seemed to know that on his birthday that was a special day for him as he sat with me quietly while I did my Bible study – which he never does as he’s usually too intent on playing with King or getting into something lol. 🐕 I’ve written blog posts and done podcasts on my...
read moreTripping the DARK Fantastic
Do you remember that song from the 70s, Trip a Little Light Fantastic? If not I’ll share it with you here now. So the title of this blog post is really a play on words because we’ve been invited to trip a LOT of dark fantastic in the last several months. First a PLANdemic, then riots, etc., etc. And yet for years (since 2005 when I actually tripped into learning all of this – well God pushed me a bit…okay a lot otherwise I may not have) I’ve been teaching this was coming. Not in a scary way, just in a way that...
read moreThe Doodle Bug
This is just a short post to share my sweet Bubby boy King. He gets left out too often now because of the puppy boy Ezra. So, I’m sharing him today. He’s now 8 1/2 years old. We’ve had him since he was 13 months old. His best friend in the world is my husband Donnie. King is an American Bully by breed, however, anything but a bully as in the human kind. He’s the kindest, funniest, most handsome and smart boy. This boy is the self-designated therapy dog I never knew I needed. He’s also such a huggable boy now – he wasn’t always...
read moreOut of Darkness into the Light
There are really several stories wrapped within this one. As I walk out in the early mornings with God and my puppy Ezra is when God will whisper sweet meanings to me. Back in February of this year before everything in the world suddenly changed, is when God whispered to me telling me Ezra was a treasure of darkness. I shared about it in this post, The Unseen. I KNEW that scripture verse as I’d learned about it years ago from my colleague and former business partner. I knew it was in Isaiah. I’ve read the Bible daily for 30 years....
read moreEating REAL Food
Because dogs are carnivores. This is done under our supervision. This is a natural teeth cleaning exercise- and yes it does wear them out. Yes they get bone in meat meals also but this is extracurricular for them. We can’t seem to get whole prey still, so we improvise as best we can. Ezra our Carolina Dog puppy, 6 months old at the time of this photo (6 months ago). King our American Bully, 8 years old at the time of this photo (6 months ago). Ezra was weaned to raw from raw fed parents. He’s never had to be subjected to kibble. King was...
read moreGrowing Up Ezra
My Carolina Dog puppy Ezra is 11 months old today! We got him when he was 9 weeks old. I can’t say that the time has passed quickly lol. He’s been a challenge – mostly because of me, not him. He is exactly what the breed is. I’m just not who I used to be haha! By the grace of God we’ve survived him to this point 😂😆. I hope he grows into at least a bit calmer, more toned down dog. Hey, I can hope can’t I? Ezra is a very high energy, super sassy, teen puppy boy. So that makes me and my husband...
