I was mesmerized by them. There I was on the couch, glass of wine next to me, Family Feud on the boob tube, donning my jammies before 8pm and fixating on two numbers. 3. 7. There they were, right in front of me. I could almost hear them laughing. 37. 37 pounds. It was a […]
A puppy was in the middle of a nine-lane thoroughfare. It was rush hour. I was at the tail-end of a giant pack of cars when I saw him, and was immediately amazed he hadn’t been hit. In the next second I realized that nobody was behind me. I dove into the left turn lane […]
Tonight is one of those nights when I feel like I have nothing to say. And yet, don’t we always have something tumbling around in our heads? There’s a lot tumbling around in mine. Money, diet, future, exercise, travel, errands, pets, work, chores, bills…the fact that I need to generate a blog post. By midnight. […]
With the exception of two medications he’s finishing up and a couple more follow-up visits to the vet, my formerly über sick feline, Tucker, is healthy, home and back to normal. What a ride his illness was. One of his medications is a small pill, while the other is a liquid administered via dropper. When […]
When I walk into my office each morning, my lights automatically come on. This morning, I noticed they were already illuminated. Someone had been in there. I scanned my desk to see if someone had dropped off a printout, an expense check or some sort of document, but I didn’t notice anything. Once I set […]
What a week. I spent Monday in tears at the thought of having to put down my new rescue, Tucker. Red, puffy eyes gave way to a pounding headache that afternoon. At the vet that evening, I took goodbye photos of my brave, young little kitty. I was certain we were at the end. But […]
Five weeks ago, I adopted a rescue for my other adopted rescue. The first needed a buddy, so a buddy I set out to find. I got the first from my vet, and rescue #2 ended up coming from the same place. They’d been neighbors and would paw at each other playfully during their five […]
They’re not allowed here, but it feels like every neighbor around me has purchased fireworks…they have infiltrated my bubble o’ calm. Loud booms, thundering explosions and multi-colored streaks making their way across the night sky have been the norm the past few hours; the echoing shriek of a lit fuse rings in my ears. The […]
I’ve adopted a head-butter. Meaning, when I’m on the floor hoping to bond with the little guy, he actually goes for it. He’ll first start purring while hiding under the bed, eventually scoot out from underneath it, come over, then touch noses with…
There are things in life that are hard to ignore. Sometimes they’re people who get under your skin, other times it’s the right thing — the right thing that hasn’t yet been done. A month ago, I picked up my cat from the vet; he’d gotten into a cat…
