A Woman and Her Dog

WP Prompt: What’s a moment that made you realize you were stronger than you thought?

During the height of my depression, after suffering through two deaths in my family and a devastating act of betrayal, I got a puppy.

Getting a puppy and while training and caring for it while I existed in the rubble of my former life may not look like a good idea in retrospect. But I not only took care of him, I took care of myself too.

Hamish Macbeth
2023
A.M. Moscoso

My puppy is going to be 12 years old In July.

Hamish is a happy go lucky dog. He loves to interact with people, he’s wonderful with other dogs no matter what size they are or their age.

He’s great with children and he still loves to learn new tricks.

When I look at Hamish now, I realize it took strength teach him to navigate a life that was complicated and a challenge.

I didn’t realize at the time I had that kind focus and determination.

12 years later, when Hamish hears the alarm go off in the morning he bounces out of bed, grabs me a toy and his joy is contagious.

We have a good life, Hamish and I.

It took a lot to get us here, but we did it.

It Makes Me Smile

It is a simple thing and it brings me a lot of joy-

the sound of rain,

tapping against my window,

knocking at my door

waking me from a deep sleep in the middle of the night.

Nothing brings me more joy than the sound of rain, of thunder and lighting…unless of course the rain turns to snow.

WP Prompt: If you could erase one movie from your memory and watch it again for the first time, which one would it be?

Photographer Unknown

I am sure that myfavorite movie ( A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim ) became my favorite movie because of the moment I was in when I first watched it-

on that night it was snowing, my Grandfather and I saw wolves in our front yard and I remember the house smelled like our Christmas tree and popcorn ( popcorn popped in a cast iron pot. )

If you wiped this movie from my memory, I think I would still love it but the reason it came to mean what it did was because of that night, which was pretty magical when you think about it.

I can’t imagine one of those moments without the other.

Years after Stephen King’s ” Pet Sematary had been released, I took it in my head to read it again, because lol, I had started work in a Funeral Home.
