DogFeelings

I was standing at the shelter counter, filling out a volunteer shift form, when I saw her walk in — a little floral coat, a giant black bag in hand that looked heavier than she was. She had this quiet presence, like someone who didn’t need to speak to be seen. The bag landed on the counter with a soft thud. I glanced inside — dozens of hand-knitted hats in every pastel shade you can imagine, each topped with a tiny pom-pom. Pink, coral, seafoam, peach… they looked like scoops…

DogFeelings

I wasn’t even trying to eavesdrop. I was just walking past the playroom with a load of laundry, expecting the usual chaos—blocks everywhere, toy truck collisions, someone probably yelling. But it was quiet. Too quiet. So I peeked in, and there they were. My oldest, Jalen, cross-legged on the floor, holding up a board book with little diggers and loaders drawn on the pages.

My granddaughter’s stepmom was taking the money I sent without telling anyone — so I made sure she faced the consequences for her lies.

DogFeelings

When I sent money and gifts to my granddaughter after my daughter passed away, I thought I was helping her feel better. I had no idea her stepmom was taking all of it — and even worse, taking away things more important than money. That’s when I knew I had to do something and make her face the consequences. People say revenge is best when it’s calm and careful. But when you’re protecting your grandchild, you have to be clear and firm. I learned that at 65, when I saw…

DogFeelings

You think you know your kid, and then one day you find something that just stops you in your tracks.

At first, I was confused. I’d been giving him lunch money every week, just enough for cafeteria pizza or the occasional treat.
