I was addicted to an online game, in a way, and despite how the name sounds, it is mindless. Oh, there are small strategies to master, but little reward other than advancing to the next level. No “brilliance” required, not as in the brain games, puzzles and conundrums that are widely available. One can pay … Continue reading
I have done very little but relax today, after care of the beloved guests of course. In keeping with the leisurely schedule, I have a new batch of nuts and bolts in the oven, and it smells heavenly. I went to town earlier to deliver something I sold through the local Facebook Buy & Sell, … Continue reading
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
It is still pretty busy at the Pet Hostel, but some dogs have gone home. At one point, we were up to 24 dogs and 3 cats .. not sure now what the head count is. I bathed sweet S’More and her little sidekick, Rayna, before they were picked up today: We have a new … Continue reading
It has been a quiet Saturday too. We only had one boarder overnight, the darling Carly. Trigger and Tango went home last night. Trigger is a young and handsome shepherd cross. Tango is a 10 year old chocolate lab, quite sedate and good natured. After my grueling day on Wednesday with Panda the Newfoundland dog. … Continue reading
I’ve been posting so regularly that I’m afraid I’ll bore my readership. I didn’t have any work booked for today. I thought perhaps I’d have one small dog to groom until I realized she was not due to arrive for boarding and a spa treatment until this evening. So I will groom little Chloe tomorrow. … Continue reading
We are starting to eat from the garden again … I mean really from the garden and greenhouse and not just from the freezer. Mind you, we don’t mind that we still have peas, carrots, and potatoes (okay, and some frozen cabbage, maybe ratatouille and miscellaneous) to eat from the freezer. But tonight, we had … Continue reading
I’ve been telling you about my former friend Dorothy and her regret over asking me to find a good home for her dog (which is just one way of putting it!). I eventually had a discussion about this with Keltie, who had adopted Tippy. It seemed inevitable that Keltie would hear of the drama happening … Continue reading
Don’t know why I love Sunday almost as much as Thursday. The way life has been lately, ANY day of the week is awesome. So there you go … call me Pollyanna. My cup runneth over. Even the most mundane days are good ones, most weeks. I had a few dogs to groom and some … Continue reading
I am wishing a good Easter weekend to everybody. I’m not religious and will not be going to church, but there is a certain pleasantry to this holiday regardless of our beliefs. Gary and I watched most of ‘The Ten Commandments’ this evening, and I recall watching the movie at my mother’s side, sometime in … Continue reading
