I’m sitting here drinking coffee and waiting for my “work” to arrive. The temperatures have plummeted outside, but I can still groom, and keep pets warm. The handsome black cat, Shadow, went home last night. I had heard the cat’s owner refer to his pet as a “she”, and I did not inspect that end … Continue reading

This ‘n’ that …
Feel like I’m spinning my wheels or treading water lately. The less I do, the less I want to do. I guess this could still be attributed to “winter doldrums”. We have had some beautiful days in this wonderful Valley. Seems lucky that the area is so scenic, because we have had some very bitter … Continue reading
Happy Wednesday …
I couldn’t decide what to talk to you about today, but thought I’d dive right in regardless. It’s kind of like how I live my life and make conversation anyway. Gary’s been skiing and this week was an over-nighter. Some weeks he and Rob go for just one day, depending on the snow conditions, weather … Continue reading
Happy Friday …
Not sure why I rejoice over Fridays or weekends. Other than Sunday brunch with friends, each day is about the same. Different, but not less fun or more so because of which day of the week it happens to be. I have plenty of work when there are several pets boarding, and tomorrow I have … Continue reading
Digging out …
… I’m “digging out” from the long weekend. It has been busy, but all under control. At one point, there were 18 dogs and 4 cats, or maybe 20 dogs, I can’t quite recall the high count. There was traffic in the driveway sometimes three vehicles deep: just the way I like it, at least … Continue reading
Aw, blackened chicken AGAIN?
Hey, it’s a thing. It’s a menu item at some fancy restaurants. I’m just not sure that the chef runs through the kitchen, smears a bunch of “Schwartz’s” poultry spice mix on the chickens, throws them on the barbecue, and dashes away to do other work. I turned the controls WAY down! Do other cooks … Continue reading
Lessons …
We need them. We really never quit getting them whether we want them or not. A couple of weeks ago, while visiting my renter Rose, who recently lost her friend and housemate Linda, I saw a bare space in the back porch where her washing machine should have been. I asked, “Where is your washer, … Continue reading
I’m backkkkk…
So, the last few times I’ve tried to compose a new “post” to my blog, I could not figure out how to sign in! Just when something becomes routine, particularly when the something involves computers (hardware or software), or Internet, someone changes things. I do not resent change per se, but when I have to … Continue reading
Quietude and gratitude …
After having up to 25 of my beautiful four-legged friends around this weekend, the kennels have cleared out almost completely! I have only my darling Shadow, the big friendly dufous Buddy (a border collie), two new friends Kye and Skiff, and three cats Teaka, Borvo and Kitty. I’m so grateful to spend my days with … Continue reading
Happy Monday
I know… that’s lame. As I go through every day (as I claim to be working and oh so busy), I think of what I’ll write to you in my blog. That is DAILY, and yet when I get to supper time and later, I lose my muse, inspiration and energy to write. I’m thinking … Continue reading
