I’m sitting alone in my Mom’s house. Not totally alone – thankfully I made the decision to bring my amazing friends – furbabies – spirits – Bella and Jo – I’d be more than a little bit unglued if they weren’t here.  But it’s all wrong nonetheless.  It’s wrong being here without my Mom. The [...]

This was sent to me by a good friend who also has doggies and kitties. Yes I’ve not conceived and born human children into this world, nor am I raising future politicians or doctors or writers. And people that don’t know me well (or at all) have judged me for that – and looked on me [...]

It’s been a long time and I’ve missed you.  I’ve been busy with work, life,  fundraiser planning (for Sip and Tuck), mom, yard, house etc.  I’ve wanted to come back several times, but I’ve not had much spare time. On top of that, I had the realization over the weekend that one of the reasons [...]

Here comes my annual lecture, uh, public service announcement about getting/giving puppies/dogs for Christmas.

It hit me after I arrived home yesterday that Charley Bear is gone. I found out midday he was getting adopted by an incredible forever mom and didn’t really process it then as I was mid-workday and preoccupied. Bella and Jobear still have been a bit mopey – though a healthy dose of daycare yesterday [...]

And because I’m 12 sometimes.
Email conversation from earlier:
Me: Here are some fun pics from Jobear’s bday party. The one of you and Bruin is SO cute
Brigitte: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww—my bru-bru!  There is one of me that should be destroyed—I look like a drunk marionette! Blech!!!!!
Me: What exactly does a drunk marionette look like? And might I remind you [...]

Been quite a busy few weeks – that combined with the summer doldrums are not motivating me to post. I took a technology break over the weekend – no PC, Internets, laptop, blog posting and/or reading. It was nice. So here’s what’s been going on – in no particular order of importance and in list [...]
