The room that my computer is in
my Alaskan Malamute Bobby would stand
in the hallway with his hair standing straight
up growling and he would not come in….
he wanted to let me know something
was in there with me…but he wasn’t coming in…
and he would have given his life for me
and I knew it…
Even Bud had to be in bed
before I got in….
because once I was in bed…
NO ONE got in the bedroom.

While I'm on my Malamute Bobby....
I always called him my child with hair
We had to have him put to sleep
and if you have ever had to do this to
a beloved animal you know it does
feel like murder. But it was the right
thing to do for him.
The day after.....
Jason and I both heard him in
my bedroom. There was no mistaking it
It was Bobby
I guess he was letting us know he
was alright and he forgave us
A couple weeks later
he came back and put dog bones
in my husband's boot and in my shoe
I still have that bone

Angels in my kitchen….

During Christmas break oh about 1995
I was just getting ready to start reading
An angel book I had picked up
on a school field trip.
Bud had left for work so it
was probably 6:00 a.m.
I had just taken my coffee cup
and put in next to the pot
and I was walking back to the living room
so I could sit and read…..
well walking across the kitchen floor
my foot slipped out from under me
and I started to fall.
Just as this happened I said “Oh GOD”
and as I said this….
I felt someone on both sides of me.
I went to the floor…
but I didn’t HIT the floor.
It was like I was gently placed
on the floor.
All I could Say was WOW….
I knew it had to be
my angels that helped me.
I couldn't get that smile off my face for weeks.

Angels on Katy

Katy was my old horse….
and this was her last ride ever.
She was 30 and still loved to go.
My friend Kathy had come down to ride
with me and we took the horses out
to what is referred as “low water” here.
It was a beautiful fall day….
We had a great ride…we were
Going back to the trailer and on the way back…
we had to cross the water again.
It’s cement and with the water
it has a lot of moss and it's slick.
We were just going into the water
when Katy slipped and fell….
all I could think of was the beautiful horse
hurting herself…and me too….
so as she was falling I said…Oh God….
and from that point on
It was like slow motion….
all the way down.
When she stopped falling I was able
to stay right on her as she got up…..
all this was in SLOW MOTION.
Kathy was behind us…
and she asked…..
”How did you do that”
she watched this happen in slow motion.
I asked her what it looked like
from her point of view…and she said…
IN SLOW MOTION.
It was incredible….Katy was not hurt…
I was not hurt and all of this on cement…
God truly is Awesome…..
He sent me angels
to keep my old girl safe…..
and this old girl too.

Angels on the highway

I was coming home from a
ride on the mountain.
It was late fall and I was just
Cruising around the “bypass” to head up
the hill to home speed was about 55.
When all of a sudden…the truck
in front of me stopped pulling to the left center
of the road and the car
beside coming down the ramp from town stopped.
the car coming towards me stopped too
but it was just dark enough for me not to see
the deer ahead on the road.
There was a herd of deer crossing in
The intersection. There is no way I could have stopped…
not with a horse in the trailer I was pulling…..
but I have always asked God to protect the animals…
there are so many
Beautiful creatures that die because someone hits them….
So again I said “Oh God”
and I have no idea how I didn’t hit the deer
that was directly ahead of me on the road….
this too was like slow motion…..
all of a sudden the deer was right there…
in the middle of the road…
directly in front of my truck…..
but there was no hit…
no animal died that night
I have no idea where it went….
but it didn’t end up on my hood…
and it was right in the middle of the road….
I remember thinking twilight zone…
because it was like that…
everything stopped…and I drove on…
not hurting anything.
