Lying Next to Sambuca: A Turning Point

It was a Saturday morning and that meant Tanya, our mom, was taking Sambuca and I for a walk. She always checked the weather forecast before leaving, and the tides of the ocean as well. If it were low tide, we would go for a beach walk. High tide and we stayed local and would…

Apparently, my mom is a late bloomer. Tanya was gone for the day. Who knows where? Sometimes she tells Sambuca and I where she is off to, like going into the office. Other times, she gives the standard line to us, “I will be back in five minutes. Love you.” It’s never just five minutes. …

The Birthday

My Mom, Tanya is so thoughtful. She always takes the time to celebrate either my birthday or Sambuca’s. As per my human, it is a very special day, as it is the day we were born. Like I don’t remember, but whatever, we’ll go with that. Our birthday involves a whole day of fun! Instead…

Popcorn

I love da food. I just love anything that I can eat. To be honest, da food loves me too. I love having my breakfast. I love having supper. I love having treats. I love whatever Tanya gives me. Sometimes our treats are human foods like a carrot, a piece of broccoli, a piece of…

At the Office

My mom is so cool. How do I know? Because I just know. Tanya takes us to Shubie Park where we get to walk off-leash and meet other dogs. On hot summer days, we get cooled off by going into the lake. She throws a ball just a few feet in and Sambuca and I…

Dr. Jane

A while back, I wasn’t feeling well. My stomach was upset, and I was tired. I wasn’t going into the kitchen when it was feeding time. Most of all, I didn’t even feel like bugging Sambuca to play with me and that says a lot! This lasted for a bit. “Oh little Appy, what’s wrong?”…

The Licorice

Every morning, Tanya takes Sambuca and me for a walk. Usually, it is around our neighbourhood in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Sometimes, it’s a trip in the Tan-mobile, as my mom calls it, and we end up at Shubie Park or Conrad’s Beach, or Rainbow Haven Beach. We know when it is a longer car ride,…

Meeting Sambuca

After what seemed like a long time, we are finally getting to a place I hear them call St. Lambert. I open my eyes and look up at my new mom. “Oh, hello little one. Did you have a good nap?” she asks me lovingly. I sure did, Momma. “Appy, we are almost there, and…

The Day I Met My Mom

I was born on July 29, 2017, near Bromont, Quebec. I remember having brothers and sisters, but they all left before me, to go to their new homes. You all know me as Appy now, but my original name was Nelly, after my mom. On September 25, they told me my new family was coming…

The Apple Pie

Every week, my mom leaves Sambuca and I in our home alone. She turns on the radio, has her purse around her neck and says to us, “Mommy will be back in five minutes. I will see you soon. Love you!” And the door shuts and I hear the key in the lock. She is…
