Her Safe Place
Our sweet dog gets very scared when a storm blows in. If it is going to rain, we will know it by her behavior. She does not like the roll of thunder or the lightning in the sky. She will claw at the door, try to dig out of the backyard or try to destroy her kennel in an attempt to find her safe place.
Penny's safe place is in the corner of the bedroom on my side of the bed. She sleeps there every night as well as being the place where she feels the safest on a rainy or stormy day. As soon as she gets the opportunity she beds herself in that corner. You can almost see her anxiety lower as soon as she gets comfortable there.
Do you have a safe place? A place where you long to get when things are not going your way? A place where you can feel safe when life is stormy?

2 things...
I was at Alive Hospice 2 weeks ago. They had a dog come by as therapy...reminded me of Asia and made me think of you.
Secondly, a safe place for me is my home, but one of the safest places for me on Earth is with you, Stephen and Chris wherever we might be.
For that, I'm eternally grateful!

Cheers, where everybody knows my name.
Actually, I agree with BST on both counts. One of the things I am most thankful for about Stephanie is that she makes home a safe and relaxing place to be and there is no safer place than in the company of friends who will love you unconditionally.

When storms come up I often go to the corner of your bedroom by your side of the bed. But Penny is often there, so it is a bit crowded.
nice post.
