Take one for the team – take a nap, that is.

The days in the fall are so lazy The sky can be clear blue or hazy …..We squeeze in our nap time …..And plan for some lap time Sleeping Beauty – thy name is Maezi. . . . . . . We love the fall here…the beautiful colors, the cacophony of the adolescent birds trying […]

15 minutes

If I could write code, it would have been ingeniously brilliant…because  I would have worked it out to cause a cascade of dog toys to be delivered to every household with a dog – or a cat.  It would just annoy a cat to receive a dog toy… What’s up, now with hacking the tweeting? […]

Just another lazy Sunday

Ah…Sunday morning…we’ve had our breakfast, Maezi’s tried to steal some coffee, we patrolled the back yard…we’ve been very busy this morning.

Funny how things happen…

So I was explaining to Maezi about the “wish upon a moon” legend, & well, I was hoping for some new toys & bones…but I’m not sure where we’d put them because right now the house is discombobulated since one of the rooms is being painted & everything is in boxes in the living room […]

Make a Moon Wish

If you get up early enough in the morning, you can sometimes catch the Moon.  This ancient ritual harkens back to our ancestors, the wolves, who chased & howled at the moon.  Now we scowl & growl at the moon, too.  But if you get up early & sneak a peak upwards, when the Moon […]

Happy Cousins & the Laughing Jackal

So last night, we were hanging out with Mom, watching “Dogs 101” about very rare breeds.  I liked the New Guinea Singing Dog, & Maezi liked the Thai Ridgeback – until she didn’t – then she started talking back to it.  She didn’t think they were friendly enough, except for Magic, the one that surfed. […]

Happy Barkin’ Birthday!

So…Maezi has just completed her “Terrible Twos”.   Since she’s 3 now, maybe she’ll stop pulling my hair & stealing my toys & ambushing me when I’m napping…oh well, maybe not. The best thing about parties at our house is that everyone gets a toy.  I like the purple – although, I’m not entirely sure what […]

Dog Days of Summer

The insects chirp, the birds twirp & tweet flitting in the sky, the fan whirs in oscillation.  The Refrigerator hums & the local riffraff starts the Bark Fest down the hill. . . . Ah, the sounds of summer.  I was hanging out on the patio, when I was startled by a really BIG bee.  […]

Beat the heat – Tip #3

It was 109 degrees here today.  I didn’t even know there were that many degrees.  But Maezi & I have a sure-fire treat to beat the heat.  Put your nylabones in the refrigerator till cool… then gnaw. Mmmmmm.

Beat the heat – Tip #2 – Ambushed?

So – I’m minding my own business, out in the grass this morning, planning to do some ‘business’ when I’m ambushed by a wiley invisible adversary.  I never know when it will strike, but it is very stealthy.  It gets me at least once a week.  I have no idea why it picks on me… […]
