Conan | The Sweet Chocolate Dobie

Meet Conan, the non-barbarian, super sweet Chocolate (the official color is Red) Doberman. This sweetie pie was on the short list to become a calendar boy, but did not make the cut. He thought it was totally unfair, and I agreed. Conan has all the numbers: he is handsome, sweet, polite and playful. He also has an endearing smile and gives award-winning puppy kisses.

We met at Moanalua Gardens in Honolulu only to discover that dogs are not allowed in the park. So we switched to a nearby location, and we got lucky: it was spacious, had trees for shade and nobody was around. Conan chased balls, and we chased Conan. But then he also posed for me, and, as you can see, the camera loved him.

Here he is with his hu-mom and hu-dad. Conan is one very loved pooch, just as he should be.

And if you enjoyed meeting Conan, you will enjoy meeting these other sweetie pies:

    Good Morning and Happy Saturday!
I am here to let you know that I have published the recipe for my Lemon Cream Crinkle Cookies.

Easter weekend is coming soon and, just in case you are planning some baking, you can find the recipe at the link in my profile under Latest Post. This way you will have time to bake a test batch for yourself first.

Have fun baking!
Monica

    One of my favorite sunsets from my winter in Italy to let you know that I have published a new post on the blog about how the garden and the healing power of nature helped me survive a challenging winter.

You can read it (and view the many photos) on the blog, and you can find the link to the home page in the profile. Or you can comment WINTER in this post and I will message you the link directly.

I hope you will enjoy it and find it helpful and inspiring. That is why I share such personal stories, in the hope they will help or inspire even just one person.

Wishing you a wonderful new week!
Love, Monica

    Happy Sunday everyone!

I was finally able to have the time, energy and focus to send out the first newsletter in months. The first of the year, in fact!

You can view it at the link in profile, where you can also find a link to subscribe if you like. Or, if you prefer, comment SPRING below and I’ll message you the link directly. 
I hope you will enjoy it, and that April has been easy on you so far.

🤍🌸🤍
Monica
