The following is from a couple of days ago. I’m having trouble settling down to “blogging” … more apologies/contrition ahead: ************************************************************ I intend to reread my post after the effects of a little wine has worn off. Okay, more than a little wine … a recipe (Tuscan Garlic Shrimp) I made for Gary for dinner … Continue reading
Gus is a big sweetie. His owner didn’t know until she saw this photo that her puppy would be okay with a cat. As you can see, Smokey and Gus are “good together” for sure. Yesterday, I clipped the nails on this pug, Luna. Her loving owner says the name is short for “Lunatic”. Sure … Continue reading
I feel guilty when I don’t talk to you often enough. At the same time as I’m curious about your days and how you’re doing, I realize that some of you check for my blog updates. Feeling that I “disappoint” anyone is uncomfortable. I’m sitting in the recliner just chatting (typing) in comfort, with coffee, … Continue reading
What a relief that the atmosphere now has the smell of Spring. Yes, we’ll have rain and mud to complain about, but it feels like the long winter is coming to an end. Gary and I are convalescing, but we seem to have “beaten” the flu and bronchitis into submission. It takes awhile to get … Continue reading
I started a draft of a blog post two days ago, while I was shedding tears over the horrible school shooting in Florida. The first three paragraphs were lame and rambling, and I shelved this attempt at “chat”. Did a modicum of redecorating in the kennel building today. Years ago, I added a few shelves … Continue reading
It came to me as I started grooming the first of four dogs that were on the schedule today (plus two “nails-only” appointments). I felt so happy, fulfilled, content, all that great stuff, and I pondered the meaning of life again … and still. What came to me? “Quit trying to figure it all out!” … Continue reading
I’m sure you remember the old pop song… otherwise my title is ridiculous. Has been a good week since I last spoke with you. Can’t remember what happened without fetching my daybook from the kennel building, and reviewing the pics on my iPhone. Gary got home from his well-deserved holiday. He had a long drive … Continue reading
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
There are often some funny coincidences around here. Sometimes we will have five golden retrievers or retriever crosses to board, or mostly black dogs, or a high percentage of German Shepherds. Though the pugs were all here only for grooming, it is unusual for me to see three pugs in a day here. Abby was … Continue reading
