She brought a leaf in exchange for my barbecue skewers. As I tended to the sizzling grill, I noticed her standing there—a small, scruffy dog with eyes that held a world of stories. Her fur was matted, and her ribs peeked through, evidence of a life filled with struggle. Yet, despite it all, she had a certain grace about her.

I watched as she observed the bustling crowd around my food cart. People came and went, their hurried footsteps echoing on the pavement. Some stopped to buy my skewers, others simply glanced and moved on. But she stayed, her gaze unwavering.

It was then that I realized she wasn't just hungry for food; she hungered for connection. She studied each customer—their expressions, their interactions, their kindness or lack thereof. And in that moment, I saw her vulnerability. She wasn't just a stray dog; she was a survivor, a silent observer of human behavior.

I decided to offer her a skewer. She hesitated at first, as if unsure whether to trust this unexpected act of kindness. But when she took the meat from my hand, her eyes softened. It was more than a leaf; it was a bridge between two worlds—the world of humans and the world of animals.

From that day on, she became a regular visitor. She'd bring me leaves, twigs, even a flower once. Each offering was her way of saying, 'Thank you.' And in return, I'd give her a skewer, our silent pact unspoken but understood.

As the seasons changed, so did our bond. She'd curl up near my cart, seeking warmth on chilly evenings. Sometimes, she'd nudge my hand, reminding me that she was there. And I'd stroke her head, feeling the rough texture of her fur, knowing that our connection transcended words.

People passing by would smile at our unlikely friendship. Some even snapped photos, capturing the essence of compassion in that simple exchange. But they didn't know the whole story—the nights when she'd disappear, returning with scars from street fights, or the moments when she'd look at me with eyes that held both gratitude and longing.

One day, she didn't show up. I waited, hoping she'd return, but she never did. Perhaps she found a forever home, or maybe she moved on to another corner of the city. Either way, I like to believe that our shared moments made a difference—for her and for me.

So, if you ever pass by my skewer cart and see a leaf tucked among the sizzling meat, know that it's not just a leaf. It's a memory, a lesson, a reminder that even in the simplest gestures, there's a connection waiting to be forged 🌿🐾

Got four of them into the Cheasapeake Bay today. We did go out deep enough for them to swim and can say they weren't exactly thrilled but I'm one happy doodle mom to get them in the saltwater to swim and at the beach!!!! The other two will get to go down to the beach in October- hopefully.

I have their complete attention. I have popcorn and am hand feeding them. Saying their name and then handing a piece directly to the one whose name I said. Teaching them manners to wait their turn. No fear, Lucy is behind me getting her share. Ginger was outside but she got her turn too. They did a great job not rushing me to get a piece. They waited until it was their turn. So focused on the activity. I still have all my fingers! I'd call this a success!

Roxie never is in need of love and pets, especially when her boy is visiting Grandma Sharon!

UPDATE: GREAT NEWS!!! 2 week's into his recovery and Mike is showing great signs of progress. Today, he addressed family members by name and ate solid foods. God is so great! Thank you all for lifting Mike and Brenda in prayers. Keep lifting them!!!

Dear Fuller Doodle families. One of the parents of one of our puppies took a terrible fall while on vacation and is in ICU with traumatic head injury. He has other extenuating medical issues. His name is Mike and his wife Brenda is by his side. Please lift them in your prayers for healing and strength. They adopted Cottontail (who looks like my Ginger) from the Peter Rebbit litter. All prayers are appreciated.

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS
I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... My line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon:
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.
✅ Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.
A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
✅ When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. You should be pumping on low mode, thereby minimizing the v***rs that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a v***r return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes v***r. Those v***rs are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
✅ One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline ev***rates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the ev***ration. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.
✅ Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up; most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope this helps sisters.🫶
