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
This sight greeted me in mid morning. Zeus had been a model guest and seemed to appreciate the “self-warming” dog bed I had provided him, days ago. I admit that the dog seemed more enthusiastic about “fluffing up” his own bedding during his latest visit. Zeus has boarded regularly at the Pet Hostel for several … Continue reading
This is a happy Saturday indeed. Don’t ask me why. Seriously, I don’t know why this seems like such a stellar day, but I awoke in good humour and the day has continued to be full of joy and gratitude. Earlier, I was just sitting with my feet up, playing iPad games, and thinking I … Continue reading

Last night, in an effort to quiet the frenetic barking in the outdoor kennels, I brought four dogs, all belonging to one owner and household, into the kennel building. As this was 10:30 , I shut the doggy doors in the other indoor-outdoor spaces, and gave the four newer star boarders the biggest kennel. That … Continue reading
The work has not been too hard: I started out the day babysitting Seltzer, Maya, and Ceili, Baxter, Cooper, Beastie, Karma and Hunter, Missy, Gus and Willis. Now some of my darlings have gone home and others have arrived. Missy was picked up, and her owner was quite pleased with the results of the grooming … Continue reading
