As a young girl, I remember that my mom would drive to town from the farm and stop at shops around the square. Typically, there was a stop at the fabric store for notions or material for a new garment. Back then, we all wore homemade clothes except for the people with money or special occasions.

I forgot to grab my housecoat when I let out my toy poodle, Sophia. I always go outside with her first thing in the morning. Soon, Sophia will start wearing the special collar for the invisible fence. Then, I can stand at the door if needed.

Growing up, my dad would always take us camping and fishing in the summer. I would wake up in a damp tent and crawl out to a nice fire going and fog all around. Listening to the mourning doves and watching my dad fish in the mist had a calming effect on me. I was always amazed that dad was fishing when I went to bed and fishing when I got up.

I'm five hours into Sunday night after Sophia's landing. Sophia is an 11-week-old toy poodle who is going to be my new companion dog. I keep taking her outside to do her duty, but she instantly wants to get back on my lap. She is lying on my chest as I write this column.
