Today is my birthday!

Eight blissful, furry years…
Ya know, when people say, “It’s a dog’s life”, they are just jealous.  Because, let me tell ya.  Today, on my 8th birthday, I got to sleep in late, had a little breakfast, played some games, chased Maezi, & then had a nap.
Then, I played some games, had a mani-pedi, had some [...]

Two little hearts…

………………………..Long ago when their friendship was new
………………………..Two little dogs hadn’t a clue…
…………………………….But Cupid’s swift darts,
…………………………….Aimed straight for their hearts,
………………………..And now the fast friends are true blue.

Ode to a “little Soul”

Grieving hearts break when a beloved passes on, & mend when celebrating the special life.  My Mom’s dear friend, Ljuba,  in Genoa, Italy, is a musician…& her cat, Duška, was, too.

Ljuba says, “Duška means “ little Soul” in Russian.  She was an extraordinary creature, with a really dog-like devotion to me; she was following [...]

St. Nick is Surprised

Christmas Card Craziness. Part 1

I haven’t been able to write, because, well, there is a lot of activity here, & we have to supervise it.  We have to look in every bag, box & parcel that comes our way.
We found this interesting package just the other day.
Well?  What is it going to be?   This blown out photo provides a [...]

Giving Thanks

It requires a gentle nudge sometimes, but it’s always the right time to show appreciation…
So after the big feast the the running & playing & family time, once you settle in, be sure to snuggle next to one you love & say…”thanks”.
Thanksgiving we eat lots of turkey,
And prance around happy and perky.
…..We might play some [...]

Ah, November

It really is one of my favorite months.  The wind ruffles my hair, birds sing really loud in the morning & I can enjoy the tang of possum in the air.  They have a distinctive fragrance you know.  Maezi & I go out in the morning to look for clues.  We always find the clues [...]

Mysterious Nature – (Maezi, guest blogger)

Auggie & I went out this evening to check for intruders.  We like to to check the yard, the hill, the sun dial, the pleasant rusty garden ornaments…
As we meandered around, I noticed lots of strange little things.  Worms, pill bugs, lady bugs, & ooh, 2 butterflies – a gold Skipper & a Mourning Cloak.  [...]

The spiders BEEside us – (Maezi, guest blogger)

Even tho Halloween is over, the horrors just never stop…  all around us, nature continues doing her thing.  I like to charge headlong down the steps of the hill.  It’s just my thing.  I’m not supposed to go down there, but when no one is looking, I like to see what’s up down there.
Whoa!  this [...]

The times, they are a’changin

Who knew that time could magically shift by an hour?  I was up & ready to go outside to do my thing & I was thwarted in my attempt…NO one would get out of bed to take me out – so I nagged & licked & bounced, with the occasional bark.  Maezi didn’t do anything [...]
