    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    It has been six months since Rue Dog passed. Six months of working one dog instead of two and half the weight on my bed at night. And on Monday I got a curveball question. 'Do you want a dog?' More specifically, a one year old Aussie who was in need of a home through no fault of his own. I...

    Words that bother you because they sound like other words

    I love homophones: each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling, for example new and knew (Oxford English Dictionary) As a hypervisual processor, these were words we had to learn by sight, not sound, so I wasn't struggling with the...

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    December adventures with Marlowe. We got a new indoor agility set and teeter-totter for Christmas, a significant snow storm and our annual Snow Globe walk. Last year we didn't have any snow for Christmas, so Rue Dog, Marlowe, and I walked the neighborhood and continued our tradition of...

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    Rory, Marlowe, and Potato Cat...It's weird getting used to a household of three under five, and two under two. I've had at least one senior pet for the last fifteen years. Now we have Rory (10 months), Marlowe (18 months), and Potato Cat (5 years).

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    This is Miss Rory, she joined our pack today after a meet and greet/home visit on Monday. She is an 8 month old Toy Aussie/Heeler cross who had a rough start in life. Very shy, but a total sweetheart, she is a puppy who requires patience and a dog savvy household. Her personality it the polar...

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    Some recent antics of my tweedles. Marlowe got mail. Potato Cat is still the biggest snoop in the neighborhood. One of my favorites of Dude. Marlowe 'helping' with laundry and adding to my TBR.

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    Marlowe working on his 'pick up' command. He does put his toys in the basket, but sometimes he overthinks and put himself in the basket instead. Rue Dog (lower) had his annual wellness exam and passed with flying colours. He'll be fourteen in August.

    New Computer!

    After several years of having no laptop, I finally got a new one! A sleek little Chromebook. It is kinda weird switching over all of my files and accounts again, but really nice to have a broader spectrum of access. Phones and tablets are great, but this is better. I've missed the sensory...

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    Yesterday was Marlowe's first birthday, the fifth anniversary of CatCat's passing, and Thursday is Potato Cat's fifth Gotcha Day. Rue Dog continues to be my lovable old curmudgeon.

    Reading as a special interest?

    I usually have six to eight books in active rotation at any given time and never go anywhere without at least three in my bag (I'm a mood reader (often a rereader (Anne of Green Gables series, Pern, Georgette Heyer, Tairen Soul series, Throne of Glass, Kingkiller Chronicles...just to name a...

    Putting the Pieces Together

    Warm soaking rain today, so I am taking advantage of it. All my plants with the exception of a couple hydros, my violets, and orchids are now on the deck. Pretty sure my neighbors think I'm the crazy plant lady.

    I was sad today.

    Doing the sensible (right) thing is often a mixed bag of emotions. Long term, you made sure that kitty was safe and set up for the best possible future. By giving that kitty a chance at adoption you have by extention offered a huge opportunity for love and potential for another person...
