Race, Run, Trot, Walk, Whew

Funny thing as you get older – distances seem to grow. Qannik was coming up from the back yard and the speed went from race to run to trot to walk.

Woo-hoo! Racing for the house.

Woo-hoo! Racing for the house.

Hu-Dad says he can totally relate. Things he used to do with a bounce in his step now require just a wee bit more focus and determination.

What's the hurry? A trot will do.

What’s the hurry? A trot will do.

Especially in the summer heat and humidity. Oh, sure, our temperatures may not be as high as a lot of you, but it is still hot to us.

Made the porch! Walking time.

Made the porch! Walking time.

Don’t worry, though. Q-Tip saved enough energy for the most important thing.

A big ol' Q smile!

    Qannik, I too know how you feel. With the humidity being so high, you can wear the air, moving is no joke. You do whatever it takes honey. Stay beautiful and keep smiling????

    I love Qannik so much. I know he is getting up there in the senior ranks so every post is a treasure. I just want to hug him so much!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend

June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.

A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.

Enjoy it your way
