This year on my weekly blog I’m planning to write about experiences, new and old. My plan is to incorporate what I’ve talked about for the last few years, doing more and possessing less.

I hope to have a new book out soon and another surprise. I’ll let you know when that happens.

Today, in the new experience category, I’m babysitting for my son’s new dog. (or maybe it belongs to my grandson, who knows).

The picture is my 40 lb. beagle mix, Athena, and the wire-haired terrier mix Pablo (or maybe it is Pawblo). Athena is almost 10 years old and Pawblo is 4 months. She thinks he’s fun! Until she’s had enough. She’s used to being the queen of the house and she’s been invaded. He’s so fast! And has razor teeth. But he knows his name, kinda knows the word no, and is generally a good pup for 4 months. Cute as a bug which gets him forgiven for a lot of things.

So, Pawblo and Athena are siblings for a day. It could be interesting. But at the moment they’re both resting (well, he’s chewing on a toy and the old lady is resting).

I brought her bedroom bedding in the living room so there are two. One for each. Ha! Athena laid across both of them. But it doesn’t matter because Pawblo shows no signs of tiring or needing a nap.  

Wish me luck on this adventure. Later today when it warms, I’ll join them outside picking up “land mines” in my back yard. I’ll only have the puppy for a day. His mom and dad will be back this evening. Here’s to new adventures!

What have you done this week? On to new experiences!
