Today, I accompanied mawm to the dentist. She really needed me so I did my absolute bestest and now I get to relax all evening. The dentist is a weird place. It sounded like the clippers mawm uses on my belly but lots of flashlights and water? Humans are strange. I is Norman and I is needed (for whatever that was) and I is loved.

11 years with my best friend and my once in a lifetime dog. What better way to celebrate your birthday than on the beach with your best friends and near the water- one of your favourite things.

You have accomplished and experienced so much more than I ever knew was possible. You’ve swam in the oceans on both sides on Canada, swam in glacial water, hiked the Rockies, travelled internationally with me, flew on several planes, been on boats and trains as well, completed service dog training, did many years of therapy work…. the list goes on and on.

Each year that goes by, I find it harder to describe you because you are so intricately special. Anyone who has met you knows exactly what I mean. The more I talk to you, the more you understand. Your ability to read the room is something I never thought was possible for a dog. You watch me so closely and know how to respond. You are a GOOD boy. We fit together like puzzle pieces. You are for me and I am for you.

I still don’t know what I did to deserve YOU but I continue my hardest to give you everything.

Happy 11th birthday Stormin’ Norman 💛

For his birthday, Norman would love if you could share his post so more people can learn about him and Norman also wants you to do something special with your pup today!! Spread happinesss and joy. Next up- cheeseburger!

The prints carefully outlining your paws in the sand with each step you take,
I laugh to myself and wonder if someone will think there was an exceptionally cute polar bear here
The grey and white hair whisping around in the breeze without a direction in mind,
How can something be majestic and silly at the same time?
The way that you look around and sincerely take in the view,
I know you’re present
The way your pink eyes look back at me to make sure I’m still with you,

I smiled back at you

These small moments are everything , and they are perfectly ours.

A dog shaped lake 🐾💛

From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.”

Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.” Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you will probably understand phases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.”

So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog.” just smile, because they “just don’t understand.”
