You all amaze me! I can’t even narrow it down to a short list this week ~ the entries are all so good. I am loving all the heart puns! So funny & clever, I’m in awe. Beth~ you have great entries every week and this caption nails it, in my book!
• • • That’s not a real heart. I had several such queries after posting THIS pic last week! No, it’s a plush heart with a squeak in it, embroidered “It’s hard being a Princess.” I knew, when I saw it, that Charlie would love it.
This photo needs a name! Leave your title, caption, or thought-bubbles in the comment section of this post and you’ll be in the running for a Wyoming care package ~ it feels like it’s been ages since I’ve sent off a box of rocks and bones! This week’s prize is petrified modern art… ancient sculpture… this:
One perfect Dahlite ~ a petrified stone ball aged 150 million years ~ rests in a natural cradle, which, in fact, is a section of Gryphaea fossil ~ ancient oyster-like shells fossilized in stone, which are 150 – 200 million years old. AMAZINGGGGG!

“Are the cameras rolling yet?”
I saw your book in the airport while flying to my family over Thanksgiving. What a heartwarming story! Charlie is truly a marvel!
Recently, I read that they found that dogs are descended from Canis lupus, and were successfully bred from the ones that were able to socialize with people. That and Charlie show it is possible to “tame”, for lack of a better word, a coyote. No, we would not be guaranteed that a wild-born animal would socialize with us, but, unlike the common advice, it’s not automatically impossible. (Did any of that make sense?)
Anyway, God bless you and Charlie!
