The little things…

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

A neighbor down the street moved out of their home towards the end of December — a foreclosure situation. They took their horses and dogs, but left behind two cats. So I started feeding them. Same time each day, twice a day. They became accustomed to the schedule and even started looking for me at […]

Today?

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

On September 15, Baxter was diagnosed with lymphoma. He is 3 1/2 years old… a baby with a very grown up disease. It’s been quite a ride to this point with all he has been through, but yesterday, he could not get himself up. It’s like his hind legs have become spaghetti. I tried to […]

Ponderence about bending over

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

I was thinking about bending over to pick something up the other day… I was getting ready to start collecting bowls to feed everyone. I walked to the first bowl and thought, “I hate bending over to pick that up.” In the next thought, I realized the ridiculousness of that thought because it was a […]

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I wanted to comment on the frustration of the incredible sameness, but my mind is in a warp right now where I am challenging even my own perception of the incredible sameness. What IS the incredible sameness of life? It is where each day follows the same pattern of the day before and the day […]

Passing of “Squirrel”

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

I just wanted to make note of Squirrel’s passing… she was a large part of the extended family.
After cleaning up the yard this morning, I decided to check on this funky tree I have growing near the back of the property outside the dog area. I think it is a prickly pear ash which looks […]

What the hell is burning???

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

If you want to heat something on the stove, don’t forget to lift the burner covers and remove the toy cat balls Diego has hidden underneath. They really stink when they burn.

Questioning our superiority

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

It has been said and written many times over the years that man is superior to animals because of his/her ability to reason. But I am here to say that that ability in and of itself is NOT enough. Just as a weaker opponent can overcome his stronger foe by concentrating on the opponents weaknesses, […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

I went to dinner last Friday night with “the gang.” Karen’s husband, John, brought roses for all the girls. Beautiful and they smelled so good! As I was leaving the restaurant, I started thinking about what I would do with this rose — my cats will tear it apart, spill the water and then the […]

Ponderences

Monday, February 12th, 2007

The pondering of the day is actually left over from yesterday and seems to be a recurring one: HOW do dogs have the uncanny ability to get restless in the last minutes of a movie or a project you are working on? Yesterday, I had invested almost 2 hours into watching a movie on tv. […]
