POEM OF A DOG
I am the one who always waits for you.
Your car has a special sound that I
have imprinted on my senses, I can
recognize it among a thousand.
Your steps have a magic timbre.
Your voice is music to my ears.
If I see your joy, it makes me happy!
Your scent is the best,
Your presence is what moves my
senses.
Your awakening wakes me up.
I watch you sleep and for me you are
my God, I am happy watching over
your sleep.
Your gaze is a ray of light. Your hands
on me have the lightness of peace and
the sublime display of infinite love.
When you go out, I feel a huge
emptiness in my heart.
I wait for you again and again.
I am the one who will wait for you all
my life today, tomorrow and always:
I am your dog ❤️

Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser.
On Saturday night, the owner arrived home late, and the dog didn’t recognize him. Given her background as a nanny, she assumed the pup might have been startled awake or even experiencing a night terror. However, on Sunday, the dog was still acting off. That’s when she remembered her new diffuser had been running and decided to turn it off. By Sunday afternoon, things seemed a bit better.

The next day, the dog sitter mentioned that the dog wouldn’t come out from under the bed—a real surprise for a usually cheerful pet. The owner hurried home early and found her dog looking confused and scared once again. Alarmed, she took him to the emergency vet.

It turned out that the tea tree oil used in the diffuser is toxic to dogs. Fortunately, tests showed that his liver was okay, but the situation was still serious. The vet administered fluids under his skin to help eliminate the toxins.

According to both the vet and poison control, these cases are becoming more common as essential oils grow in popularity. They urge everyone to double-check that the oils they’re using aren’t hazardous to their pets. ThePaws.net - All Things Dog

Hey everyone, I was found wandering on the Anagance Ridge Road on Saturday. I've had a great weekend but it's time for me to go home, if I knew where home was. Guess my internal GPS is not working! If you know me or my people, please call the NBSPCA Officer at 506-397-4144

I wish to thank the many people that wished me a happy birthday yesterday, July 3rd.

My wife Darr created a surprise gathering for me and way over 100 friends and relatives showed up, to my "surprise". My daughter Bridgette, her husband Nav and our three grand children now living in Pennsylvania flew in for the week as well. And of course my great guitar playing son Jimmy, who lives in the Moncton area. And dozens of social media visits.

Sometimes age can be a hard thing to admit but I thank God for my continued health as well for my friends and family.

ON JULY 3RD, I TURNED 80 going on 39!

Jim, Dad, Grand dad.
