Second Sunday of Advent The air in Santa’s office was almost electrical. Shinny Upatree was standing next to Santa’s enormous desk. Mrs. Claus sat in a rocking chair, no longer crying but with at worried expression on her face. Wunorse Openslae and Bushy Evergreen had both been summoned and everybody was talking at the same […]
We all know them. The traditions that make things “right”. This time of year the traditions are very visible and what makes people happy – something we all need this year! People are thinking about Christmas, preparing the event in spite of everything. The thought of not being able to be with loved ones is […]
First Sunday of Advent Scary sounds came from the enormous kitchen. Shouting, clattering of pots and pans. The sound of something hitting the floor – breaking. It sounded like someone had broken in and was in the middle of searching through everything. The sound of crying could be heard behind the noises. Pepper Mintstix ran […]
A scratching sound.. He turned his back to it. It sounded like something was approaching. A faint chitinous sound that grew louder. Something tugged at the edge of the duvet. He turned again.

Suddenly it was surrounded by looming skies, waves raising to heights the boat had never experienced before, no rain but the sound of thunder was deafening and the houling winds and strong currents forced the boat to struggle to stay on course. The engine worked hard. The boat soon realized that it was no ordinary […]
The boat was far from shore. It wasn’t anything special. Just the average boat. It had scratches and scars from wear and tear but the boat was more sturdy than you might think. It had sailed through many storms, fought its way over countless waves, endured the blistering heat of the sun-filled days and shivered […]
“Knock Knock” Someone’s at the door. Moxxi isn’t allowed this time, but she’s alert and SO ready to see what it is when I come back. I go to the door, open it – I know the “box-man” doesn’t have time for a dogs interest – sign for the box and by the time I’ve […]
The whole point of a service dog is to get help with the things you can’t do yourself. They’re really good at what they do. Imagine that your whole life revolves around one job; to help a human. Often it’s the same task. Several times a day. Every day. They’re more than willing to do […]
