“The angel seeing us is watching through each other’s eyes.” – Rickie Lee Jones
May I be the person that my dog thought I was!
Biscuit’s mission in the last few years was to bring a little more humor, kindness and wisdom to the world one sign at a time. He loved the time we spent doing the signs — he felt important, heard and well fed.
What Biscuit envisioned was a world where we greet each other with great enthusiasm, where we are dedicated to the service of others and we stick together to accomplish great things and with the help of his SuperPack his work continues. Malu the intrepid Minnesotan, Charlie the blockhead you can lean on, Mojo the goofy go-getter, Leeloo the smart loyalist, Ruby the princess of hearts, and Buddy the agile thinker bring their own unique perspectives to our commentary. What Biscuit didn’t know, and what I’m extremely grateful for and touched by, is how incredibly generous people would be in the wake of his passing. He even has cats and tortoises signing up too! So stay tuned for amusement and if you have an important mission, form your own Dream Team!
Thank you Dee, Patty, Mindy and the Smith family, Christine, Jay and Lindsey for lending your dogs and support!
The perfect guy: Makes me feel loved every day, deep and wise, athletic, kind, inspires me to be a better person, positive and optimistic with a great sense of humor. Thank you, Biscuit, for being that and more in your steadfast and enthusiastic way. From what I can tell you had 13 years, 8 months and 6 great days and 1 bad one and when you were ready to go, you communicated well, went quickly and made it as easy as possible on everyone else, just like you lived. RIP my dear friend and beloved boy.
A good dog never dies but stays in our hearts forever. I have the pics to prove it!
Biscuit has picked his horse and he is running with it.
But when that horse doesn’t win, can he cheer for the other? The over-inflated one with the funny mane and habit of sneaking up the inside for a win that doesn’t feel real?
Biscuit says that it’s our obligation to cheer regardless of the outcome because we are cheering for the privilege of participating in the race. We are cheering for the bigger picture reality that we are all so lucky to have a say and while the horse gets all the attention, it’s the collective energy of our caring that makes a difference!
The Zen Biscuit delivers a nugget to chew on.
“Democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity. The idea that for all our outward differences, we are all in this together, that we rise or fall as one.” – Pres. Barack Obama.
Waiting for Biscuit and Simon to rise….
Simon is working on having mature responses to feedback. Meanwhile those of us who were taught to turn the other cheer and not pick on others remain uncomfortable.
Even dogs need emojis to tell you when they are joking!
Bad puns for our game today? No problem! Bad punts – no way! Go Seahawks!!
I’m trying to soothe my irritation at this cold weather with a mix of some beach wear, sunglasses and dreams of warmer places.
