When I clicked on this page it took an extra second or two for the picture to show up and when it did, there was Laska. I smiled.
Thanx Laska 4 sherring 1 uv yur adventurz.
I’m not sure Laska knows how much he’s hearted. I tell him all the time – his “fame” seems to have left him untarnished ツ
and from Laska:
thaynk u menee tymz fore the reedingz uv my venchurz – i m hapee tu shayr – u r nise
Dear Laska,
My blog is about dogs today. Did you know dog is God spelled backwards? That might mean something. Anyway, your post levels the playing field. Oh, and it is dry here in Pennsylvania. The muttlies love jumping in the leaves, except for Sebastian. He is very old.
Good post about having someone bigger care for you,
Dawn
from Laska:
i wil mayk kreg go t yore playse an reed tu me storee uv muttleez – u r nise dawn
From Craig:
Dawn, I don’t know where I’d be without SOMEONE – someone immensely big, infinitely strong, absolutely loving, to care for me. You know? Nevermind – I know you do ツ God bless you my friend
Awww, Laska! Luv the way your fur looks all punked and gel-spiked when u get wet!!!! But, I know, it does not feel gud in the ears and such places as that, and other such places. And in your last photo, you look kind of Frenchy, sort of Frere Jacque with that one ear down! Love your pics! Heart your wisdom, too.
I have been reading Henri Nouwen lately and he reminds me of our belovedness and how we do have a Big Papa in the spirit sky who helps us with our wet fur and other things, and all because we are beloved (deeply hearted) by Him. That makes me feel held and comforted when I am not actually being held by a humin. But when I forget, then I feel all wet and cold again. Then I need to seek His embrace, again. I can picture that better now that I can picture Kreg’s jacketed arms wrapped around you, pulling you into the safety and warmth of his jacket.
And when I feel deeply hearted by Spirit Papa, then I can most readily feel forgiven by him, more quickly, too.

I can’t speak – Laska is too much. (I’m butting my head up against hers.)
She reminds me that it is good to have someone bigger than you to listen to (if only we would listen) and protect you. Now if I could just fit inside someone’s coat. 🙂
Heart this post, you, and Laska …
oh, and as one Person to another – I know just what that head but means – thank you. Felicia, I found that HE has a really big coat – and he just waits sometimes for us to “lookingz at him,” thank you – I hearted your comment – and I heart that you read me – God bless you my friend.
hey Craig,
this was so good, but Laska’s language makes my head hurt. haha–i know you get that a lot. it is like a brain exercise to read these posts–really!!
i heart that you and Cora, (and Dawn too?) enjoy this bantering back and forth so much. you all make the heart so light. i just loved reading Cora’s comment–my highlight of the day! thanks for this post, Craig. so, so cute. and sorry that i dont speak laskish. but i still love Laska–he makes my day! i just found it so intriguing and very, very cute that he still wanted to go outside even when it’s raining and was jumping around! silly cat! 🙂
here is my post for today:

and here is the one that came before that–they are a sort of series
http://sixinthehickorysticks.blogspot.com/2011/10/31-days-to-holistic-christ-centered_28.html
there is a place for you to find the beginning on my post, if you never read and want to. (i cant remember that far back. haha).
blessings, dear friend!
Nacole
first of all, I’m sorry I’m so late replying to this comment – Nacole, you got caught in my spam blocker for some reason – and I didn’t rescue you until today. Sorry. thank you as always for your comment – and I do heart Laska – I go beyond hearting him – I love him. And he’s like a kid still – he won’t be two until February – so he’s about eight years old in human years – and would a little rain stop any of us from going out and playing in it at eight years old? Now let me shoot over and read your two posts – because you know I heart your words. God bless you, Nacole.
