A couple of weeks ago, I was making a HaldeCraft delivery to a casual friend, who works at a place called Cord-a-Roy’s. Many many moons ago, when Old Dog was a puppy, I got her a Cord-a-Roy bed. So many years ago that they don’t make them in that size …
I’ve been trying to walk Corwin more, since Old Dog. She and I both need exercise, in general. The vet said, too, that it would be good to get her out of the house so that she doesn’t just walk around, looking for Bridgett. Walking will give her many new …
Woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of you and where you’d gone and let the world spin madly on Everything that I said I’d do Like make the world brand new And take the time …
I’ve had the cat welcome sign for a while, and just found the dog one on Ebay. I don’t know why I bought it, the cat one hardly ever sells – in fact, I’ve given about three times more of them as gifts, than have sold – but I couldn’t …
When I got divorced, in 1999, I did volunteer work by fostering dogs with Gainesville Pet Rescue for a while. I fostered maybe 40 or 50 dogs over about a year, and each and every one of them got a loving home… but only one that I completely fell in …
I got a lot of yarn winding done last week, in spite of Tiny Kitten “helping” me. I wish I could tell you that she was absolutely well-behaved, but as I was pulling yarn out this morning to wind, I find that she chewed through a skein of yarn that …
OK, technically this was taken two years ago, her face is much more gray now. And since the Codeine makes her silly, she probably really says “Merr….. ….. …. whut?”. But the thought is there. I love y’all like she loves me. May your cup runneth over on this, and …
… of photos of my pets lying about not doing jack shit, other than snuggling with each other? Too bad.
She’s stiff and tottery when she first gets up from a nap, she frequently barks at either nothing or something that happened ten minutes ago when she was sleeping, she still falls off the dog bed and gets stuck in the corner, and screen doors confuse her…. but her appetite …
Last week we had the vet out again, this time to go ahead and give Bridgett her yearly shots. It seems that Old Dog has taken well to the new pain medicine (although the jury is still out on whether she likes the codeine more, or the wet cat food …
Over the weekend, Tim installed a screen door on the door from my dye room to the back porch; there’s been one on the door from my office to the back porch for a while, but he noticed last week when I was furiously dyeing yarn for sock club that …
Tiny Kitten has decided there’s something she likes more than chewing yarn (but not more than chewing plastic)… snuggles! The funny thing is, though, that you can’t make her snuggle. She’s got to come to you on your own terms, usually when you’re a few minutes away from standing up …
Who would have thought these would be so popular? I guess I didn’t really think about who my friends are when I thought “now here’s a wacky idea of something I should make.” I did just buy a second baby head mold like this one, so that I can make …
When it came down to making the decision yesterday, I just couldn’t do it. Yes, she’s in pain. Yes, she sleeps all the time. Yes, her legs sometimes fall out from underneath her. Yes, her coat looks horrible no matter what I do. No, she doesn’t get up to greet …
Maude: What a fuss this is. So unnecessary. Harold: Don’t die, Maude, for Christ’s sake. Maude: Don’t upset yourself so. Harold: I love you. I love you. Maude: Harold… that’s wonderful. Go and love some more.
Yesterday when I pulled out of the Wild Iris parking lot, turned onto University, and then stopped at the red light… I noticed this little guy. That always makes me sad. I feel like such a homewrecker. Like, somewhere, now, there’s a lizard family whose mommy or daddy won’t be …
OK; technically I think it was just in her way as she was trying to have a lie-down, but it does make for a cute (if slightly blurry) photo.
So, last year I had this idea of, since I run a sock club that goes for three months and then I take a month off before beginning the next… that during the “off” months I would dye a limited edition colorway. I wanted to do a few things inspired …
I love how Fat Cat can give such great BitchFace even when she’s the one who instigated the snuggle. Old Dog gave me quite the fright this morning. You probably know if you’ve been reading my blog a while that Old Dog likes to be wherever I am, which makes …
After …. what, four years? How long have we had Backup Dog? She’s finally realizing that the growly noise Old Dog makes when another animal is trying to snuggle her isn’t really a growl, but Old Dog’s attempt at the purr that the cats do. They’ve been snuggling a lot …
Saturday I folded two weeks worth of clean laundry, and how sad is it when that’s an accomplishment? Better (or maybe worse/more sad) is that I cleaned off the top of my dresser, threw away pocket shmutz that dated back more than a year, found about $4 in change, cleared …
I don’t even know where to begin the list of what is physically wrong with Old Dog. Her belly is covered in those fatty deposits (I think they’re called lipomas); she still has a match to the large one on her rump that we got removed four or five years …
