Ms. FiFi has always liked to jump up on my lap while I’m watching television or reading and lean towards my face to take a quick sniff of my breath before she snuggles down for a good scratch behind the ears. It’s a pattern we’ve followed routinely for the last eleven years. She’s always seemed [...]

Lynn was subpoenaed to appear in court today for the third time as a witness against the owner of the pit bull who killed my small Bischon last year while we were camping. Surely the 3rd time is the charm and this dog won’t be allowed to hurt anyone else. This time it attacked a [...]
The year 1997 was a difficult, emotional year for Lynn and I. It didn’t help that we had also suddenly found ourselves as empty nesters when our youngest daughter unexpectedly fell in love, got engaged and then married in a matter of three months … and moved to Seattle.

Doggie piddled in the hall today … on the carpet. I scolded her and sent her to her bed. I just dropped my Diet Coke on the sofa and carpet in the TV room. Does that mean …. ?
The girls and I have become quite close since my retirement a year ago. It’s getting so we almost do everything together. Last night we stayed awake together because one of us, that would be me, had jumpy legs and couldn’t sleep. FiFi did her best to relax me by massaging my neck and purring [...]

Our babies are growing right out of their nest. We had such a fierce wind the other night I was afraid their nest would get loose on the cord. The hummingbirds did a good job of attaching it but it is starting to tip from the weight of the birds. We don’t dare mess with [...]
Okay, so I need to erase that ugly image of the cock roach from your minds … how about this one? It is a tiny little humming bird nest right outside my living room window. I wish it was a better picture but every time I tried to get closer she would fly off … [...]
We just bought ourselves a new bed and mattress set. We worked all day yesterday moving furniture in and out and around our bedroom … I mean ALL DAY! It’s a big job for two old folks like us. The mattress is a 10 inch memory foam and we are hoping it is a little [...]
