Just after politely declining any funds from “Cupcake Day for Animals”, I’m asked to participate in a very small-scale rescue. In the first incarnation of this story, I was asked to take in a chihuahua and two to three cats, in the capacity of “fostering”, without any remuneration at all. Now that I’m as old … Continue reading
Last night after my husband went to bed, I saw something in Facebook about a 14 year old cat needing a home, urgently. The family was moving and was going to euthanize, but a nearby rescue society was trying to find a home for “Silly”, aka “Sil”. The rescue Facebook Page had been told Wednesday … Continue reading
On Facebook, I changed my profile picture, replacing one from my childhood (Thank you, Deb!) to one that was about 50 years more recent. I thought that everyone who is or was my Facebook Friend would have already seen it. Within a few hours, I had 88 “Likes” and 33 flattering, ego-building comments. Had I … Continue reading
Lo and behold, I showed up with my 15 cupcakes and a willingness to help frost these and dozens more, and I had FUN! It was a nice visit with four adult women friends and one very polite and mature little girl. My friend who organized the National Cupcake Day for Animals already had about … Continue reading
According to a friend who reads Chatelaine magazine, this is “National Cupcake Day” for animals. I don’t know if this means that it’s Cupcake Day for your chosen cause, or if it’s a National Day for Animals in particular. I do not want to be unkind in my Blog, or really anywhere. Even so, I’m … Continue reading
Shadow the cat has become my “other shop cat”. He has no inclination to leave us, nor the kennel building, and therefore has full ranging privilege indoors. Through the day, he randomly (or so it seems) chooses different shelves to rest upon, different windows to gaze out of, or checks for any sources of food … Continue reading
Now, I do know that’s relative. Yesterday turned out to be plenty productive in that I got caught up with some bookwork. After about 12 hours almost non-stop at the computer spreadsheets, I not only gained some ground, but felt better about my “inertia and sloth”. It was a good day, after all. Today was … Continue reading
Do you ever have a day that doesn’t inspire you at all? I woke up today, not feeling sad or even bored, but just FLAT. After feeding the fire, feeding the horse and outdoor cats, and playing with the two dogs and cat who are boarding, and our own three (Lady, Callie and Shelly’s McKenna), … Continue reading
Next winter will be different. This season, we had an average amount of snow, but in two spectacular “snow events”, as the weather people call them. I don’t remember details about how much and when, but we had several feet of snow fall, over time, and some “blowing snow” as well, and this resulted in … Continue reading
Occasionally I have watched and listened to an elderly gent on YouTube. His YouTube handle or Channel name is geriatric1927, and he is “Peter”. Today I was notified via email (the magic of YouTube Subscription) that Peter had uploaded a new video. His posts are typically short talks about whatever has come to his mind: … Continue reading
