Not sweating small stuff …

Posted on November 21, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Joe Bonamasso has a line in a song, “Might sound  good, but I don’t know that it’s true…”.  I have often thought that about the adage, “Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s ALL small stuff.”. I got a phone call this afternoon from my elderly renter, Rose. I had been thinking that I should visit … Continue reading →

This has been a quieter day than many, and now that it is 4 pm, I’m content to turn on Netflix, stoke the fire and put my feet up. Oops, spoke too soon… then three more customers arrived. I had this big boy to shear short and shampoo today. Snoopy is 125 pounds and was … Continue reading →

Today is, according to Facebook at least, World Dog Day. Every day is dog day in my life, and I am so lucky. Even so, I just said to Shelly that it must be the combination of getting up extra early, and the chopping of many onions: I’ve felt tearful most of the day. Two … Continue reading →

Ah well, it’s what I signed up for! The doggy business is my joy; I’d say “pride and joy”, but I’m not a very “proud” person when it comes to my own self. But my heart is almost always full of some satisfaction in the work I do, and am pleased with many people I … Continue reading →

Spending the day with the best of friends …

Posted on April 15, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

Most of my days are spent with beloved pets… our own and other people’s. One of my human friends who has been a regular customer says that OF COURSE I’m always so happy (because of this). Today, I provided daycare and grooming for three of my favourites: little Yorkshire Terrier Fanny Mae, tiny chiweinie Daizy, … Continue reading →

That must be SOME truck …

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

Long story short: my sister’s husband didn’t make payments on a truck that he acquired last summer. A bailiff visited in order to repossess the vehicle, and my brother-in-law brought out his loaded gun! At some point, “R” shot out the tires on the truck that was about to be seized. At another point, more … Continue reading →

I know that doesn’t read “profound”, but it feels that way. Why? I have been thinking more often than ever that life is going by WAY too fast! How is it that now that I have most of the biggest things figured out, the days, weeks, months, seasons and years are flashing by? I have … Continue reading →

Near misses …

Posted on January 16, 2016 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

I’ve never understood why the expression is “a near miss” instead of “almost fail” or some such. When one avoids a collision or any misfortune, we say “near miss” when it was certainly a miss, or a near hit. Last night, when I was putting away my buttermilk coloured paint, I thought I’d get this … Continue reading →

Oh well, it’s a nice change from the voice in my head that too often says, “You’re such a loser!”, or “Are you ever clumsy.”, or “Not good enough.”. I don’t like to be mean or ornery, but sometimes it’s just called for. This afternoon, while I was processing garden produce in the kitchen, an … Continue reading →

An acquaintance says goodbye…

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

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 →
