Amazing picture of seven-year-old Satchel at WSU Vancouver seeing the Corpse Flower.Just us; No Ellory. 1907.17 |
Today is the date of Satchel's birth for another month. Her annual birthday for another year old comes around each July, as the following reprint will share.
Today, she is seven years and three months old.
Given all that has happened since July, I am having a difficult time accepting that her yearly birth date was just three months ago.
Remember, I am in low power mode because life is overwhelming and stressful.
So, with that in mind, please enjoy this reprint from Satchel's birthday in July of this year (2019) as a way to keep up my daily content without much work.
I am so worried about her.
LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.
A Sense of Doubt blog post #1609 - Happy Seventh Birthday to Satchel!
I could go nuts with this post, but the point of it is to keep it short. Find more pictures via the links.
My Satchel archive contains all the Satchel-centric posts.
Today Satchel Paige Tower is seven years old, which hardly seems possible.
It seems as if I did not do a Satchel birthday post on 1507.17, which was just twelve days after I started the daily HEY MOM feature.
In 2016, a Bunch of pictures and this one....

In 2017, a proper send up for her fifth birthday.

Happy birthday to my Booness.
I celebrate her Booness' special day with links to some of my best Satchel content plus a reprinting of the entire Happy Birthday post from last year.
I am trying to get us out for a special birthday walk later. We did the regular walk this morning.
There are some of my favorite Satchel pictures included in this post along with the links to some of my best Satchel posts.
Happy birthday to my first and ever special puppy Satchel Paige.
I love you, Booness.
(Obviously, I also love Ellory as seen in some of these photos.)

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #131 - Satchel does chickens
Hi Mom,
Time again to have a puppy on this blog.
Knowing Satchel as I do, this is a great picture of her as she is telling me: "Dad, it's time to do chickens."
"Doing chickens" means that she gets in to the side yard, which is currently closed to her. In the morning, we let the chickens out sometime between 8 and 10 a.m.
Satchel runs full tilt to the gate to the side yard and then sprints for the back fence, checking all her spots. She has not responsibility in the morning when we let the chickens out of the coop to roam, and she has more time to explore and sniff her spots if I have to change their water and/or food.
At night, we put the chickens away. Sometimes, we time it right, and the chickens are already in the hen house. But if they are still in the yard, Satchel gets to wrangle them, shooing them back to the coop.
Recently, some chickens did not wish to be shooed, hunkering down in bushes next to the fence far from the coop. There was a terrifying ordeal of many minutes attempting to herd the chickens. I feared that Satchel intended to grab one in her jaws and carry it like a bad puppy to the coop. In the end, I carried one chicken back.
Satchel is a very good puppy. She does not try to hurt the chickens, though if she gets into the side yard during the middle of the day, she will chase them back to the coop anyway.
One thing that makes her extra excited is that she gets a treat each time her returns from the side yard both in letting out the chickens and putting them back in the coop, which is partly why her is so excited. This is how we talk about her. We just use "her" for everything.

An example of how difficult is to get Satchel to "pose" for a photo.
Happy Birthday, My love.
Satchel "duh boo" Paige Tower, Her Booness, heart of my heart.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you soon, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27 and 1907.04) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. Dropped "Talk to you tomorrow, Mom" in the sign off on 1907.04. Should have done it sooner as this feature is no longer daily.
