Find the light

Light hides in darkness

Challenge the lurking shadows

Mysteries abate

Brodie gets into the White House Basement and finds Honey Beer a brewing

Never happened in the written or recorded history of The White House…brewing beer inside the walls of the residence of the POTUS.  You gotta read this…an adventure paid for by President Obama…involving bees and honey…hops…and more.  Seems this Honey Beer is really tasty. Go on take the tour!

 

Brodie served “Up” food and the White House Kitchen

I have a new dog diet…it’s golden exciting when something from a can hits my dish…yeah something soft…something that resembles meat…a lick the bowl clean commodity…something that smells like pate instead of just the lonely pebble like kibbles that bounce into my bowl each morning and evening.  Don’t get me wrong…I am grateful and I gobble whatever lands in my bowl…but this stuff is something I could not have dreamt up.  HeHe says he thinks he could eat is on cracker!  Seriously!?!

Now that we’re on food…this article 11 Things Only White House Employees Know...gives insight to the transition of the sitting president leaving the White House and the incoming president-elect moving in…even talks about the transition of food.  That was my favorite section.

I share this gastronomic epiphany with you to enlighten you peeps…yes dogs like “up” cuisine and Hail to the Chief’s food.  Paws Up!

Sowing hate

Kills the seeds

Reap the bounty of compassion and understand

Brodie gives you TED and the Electoral College

Ok…ok…lots of noise out there about the fairness of the Electoral College verses the Popular Vote.  I must admit that dogs don’t do numbers and percentages well…but I do get this and why our founding fathers set it up and put the rules in the Constitution.

Suggesting before emotions run away…settle… sit…stay…listen…Now that sounds like my trainer talking.  Love my trainer.

Brodie wants Lulu to visit the White House

Transition…the transition of one sitting president to the president-elect taking the position of POTUS 2017 began this morning.  Regardless of party…regardless of political opinions…these two men came together in a fine way…they both agreed…we all can make our world a better place…united.

Having said that…with goldenness in my heart..read about Lulu.  She is a golden doodle therapy dog who helps folks with the grieving process…by just simply being there.  Grieving takes on many forms…not just in death but also during times of immense change…not knowing what to expect.  The golden in me thinks Lulu and dogs like her could help many peeps during this transition period.

Paws up and many blessing on Lulu.

Fly over with peace

Brodie gets close and licks your ear

The golden in me wants to get close to you, lean on you…maybe lick one of your ears.  See dogs are really good at knowing human upset…good at reading your emotions…good at feeling your unhappiness…feeling your joy.

So…please allow me to move in on you if you are working through some feelings…some emotions related to the outcome of our presidential election last night.  I was with my people and although I didn’t understand…I read the room and moved into my humans…giving my golden self to my good peeps.  I never miss an opportunity to get pets…if you read the researched article…science “has no clue” how a dog’s brain works…but I get it…we just need ya and you need us.

We all need each other…

Golden Brodie researches a good chuckle for donkeys and elephants

As we approach the “end game” on November 8th some peeps out there have drawn…what I’ll call silly conclusions about sizing up the voters…Perhaps because this is nail-biting time, getting off of the fence time…voter fatigue time…don’t know what else to do with myself time…loose your mind time…turn off that sponsored campaign ad time.  Read this and have a golden chuckle…we could all use some levity right now…
