Blanket of snow … 

Posted on October 31, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Got out from under the blankets to find this. It looks like an old sepia photo, but everything really is “socked in”; one can’t even see the mountains.  I only had one small dog to groom today, and there are just three boarders at the Pet Hostel. The “slow” times do not worry me any … Continue reading →

Halloween looms …

Sorry, I don’t care about Halloween very much. Not sorry, actually. I’ve had a few good Halloween moments. For a college Halloween Party, I dressed up in a pink flannel onesie and donned matching rabbit ears, all sewn up in my dorm room. Some creep that I didn’t know was pestering me at the party, … Continue reading →

A good week so far …

Posted on October 26, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Monday’s agenda was a retail therapy trip to Prince George, but that’s not all. Shelly and I also delivered a dainty little cat who had been in a motor vehicle accident last week. “Midnight” had been brought to the Pet Hostel for safe-keeping after faring well in his airline kennel during the rollover. The cat … Continue reading →

This is what I’ve been telling myself. I’ve been awake since before 5 am.. I don’t know why I’ve been so “wound up” about this death cleaning thing. I’m not OCD (at least, not about very many things), nor a clean or neat freak (as late parents and past and present husbands would attest). I … Continue reading →

And the death cleaning continues …

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

This is fair warning, I will never be able to report that I’m finished, even if I’m dead. Also, I might remind everyone that I have no premonition of my demise, though inevitable; there is not “something” I’m not telling you. Yesterday I was under-the-weather from a simple cold. I hadn’t slept well, feeling as … Continue reading →

A friend of mine will talk with me about “decluttering”, death, estates and loss, really anything at all, as will most of my friends. Not everyone in my small social circle will be as blunt as this person, but when I ask for an honest opinion, I’ll get it, sometimes right between the eyes. Yesterday … Continue reading →

Swedish Death Cleaning …

… not as macabre as it sounds. This is a new “decluttering” trend which adds an aspect of altruism to getting rid of stuff. We are not simply down-sizing for our own peace of mind. Shelly said it very well. To paraphrase, “In essence, you’re having your own estate sale.” This is a thought I’ve … Continue reading →

Couched in luxury ….

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

The new “dog couch” has been well received already! Chester, then Jazzmin and Dexter, have enjoyed several days of extra comfort.   This morning was the first time that Smokey discovered this dog run vacant. I also find the couch comfortable and share it with pets for coffee breaks or power naps. It’s a matter … Continue reading →

… you never have and you never will.” Sometimes I wish that I could forget all of the hurts, slights and rebukes of the past. Oh, I have let go of crap that was said when the “deliverer” of it apologized, or the rebuke or lecture was richly deserved. Occasionally the one who delivers unkind … Continue reading →
