Hello It’s August

I’m posting after a long absence partly because I was working with my wonderful website developer, Pamela Zero, in updating my site. All is completed and updated to the present. That includes letting everyone know that my memoir, Lifetimes Together, was released a while back. It was an eight-year journey of writing, working with a group of experts for editing, cover art, photography, and putting all book contents together. Completion feels good and I set the intention for this book … Continue reading “Hello It’s August”

Really, I’m Here…..

Gatsby, Leslie and Chloe It’s been a really, really, really long time since I posted.  Just to update everyone, in the past three years there has been complete turnover in the animal kingdom in our family.  What does that mean?  It means that the three dog spirits who were my last three dogs all told me they wanted to return after they completed their last lives and be new dogs with me!  And they did!  Betsy came back as Chloe.  … Continue reading “Really, I’m Here…..”

The Mice Are Mad

Holy smokes!!  It’s been way too long since I have blogged.  I’m not sure where the time has gone!!  Life!! I have had a “mouse issue” in my attic for about a year now, almost since I moved into the house.  I have become the queen of steel wool in holes.  I’ve had professionals come in to caulk and evaluate what is going on and yet, about 3 AM on too many nights I could hear the scampering of “feet” … Continue reading “The Mice Are Mad”

My Gatsby, My Little Man

Today was a big day for Gatsby, my 7 month old dachshund.   He was neutered or as I call it, “got the snip”.  We were the first ones at the vet’s at 7:30 AM so that he would be one of the first taken and would have plenty of time to wake up and come home this evening. At about 11:15 AM the vet’s office called and told me Gatsby did well and was ready to come home.  Ready to … Continue reading “My Gatsby, My Little Man”

Rescuing Our Creatures

I was on my way into church on Sunday and there was a stray dog roaming the parking lot.  Before I knew it I was trying to catch him along with two other women.   He finally came to me and I put my arms around him and held him while one of the other women went to her car for a leash.  We got the leash and collar on him and tried to think what to do next.  There are a … Continue reading “Rescuing Our Creatures”

Animals Are Accepting

Posted on January 24, 2012   Leave a comment on Animals Are Accepting

I’ve come to the conclusion that animals seem to accept their situations, whatever they may be, much more than humans.  We worry about our pets with such thoughts as “are they in pain?”, “will they get better?”, “are they happy?” just to name a few.  My experience with animals is that they often tell me their “humans” worry too much about them.  For example, a horse I work with sometimes shows signs of stiffness in his legs.  His owner remains continually … Continue reading “Animals Are Accepting”

Hello Thanks-Giving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and there is a lot to be thankful for. I’ve been back in California for a year now and a lot has happened. Two of my dogs transitioned in the Spring and Summer. The good news is that they both came back for another lifetime with me. This is their third lifetime each with me. What a blessing!!! My Riley is now Gatsby and my Betsy is now Chloe. They are loving their puppy lives and it … Continue reading “Hello Thanks-Giving”
