Meet Doodlebug! I was scanning the petfinder site online one day, it was probably around 2002-2003ish, and saw a little minpin looking for a home. Found out the story: his family had dropped him off for boarding while they went on vacation, and never picked him up; the boarding kennel owner had had him at …

We’re BROKE! Or, The Events of Our Day – June 14, 2023
Yeah, that’s click-bait. Sorry I stooped so low. But we DID spend a ton today, and insured that we can’t spend any extra pennies the rest of the month…does that count? I had an appointment in Alma today, my first appointment with a new clinic. And it wasn’t too far out of the way to …

Granddaughter Lyra turned 9 on the 2nd, and Luna turned 4 on the 5th. These are some photos and clips of the celebrations! Our granddaughter turned 9 on June 2, and the next day we took her family out for her birthday dinner. Her restaurant choice was Subway. We also stopped at Costco for some …

Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – June 1, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 7
We are about halfway through the list after today, as Maisie is my 14th dog! And the next dog we got, while we still had Icy, was Chandler – aka Channie! Ever since Lady, I had always wanted another doberman pinscher. So as soon as Pete & I bought a house in Lansing – a …

Vids’n’pics from our weekend. Our 3 grandchildren, ages 14, 8, and 3, came to visit from Thursday evening until Sunday afternoon. We had a blast! These are just a few of the highlights! We’d never eaten at Noodles & Co. before so we decided to stop there on the way to the kids’ house. It …

morning time with my parrots…afternoon doing a little shopping…evening with the family for Casey’s birthday dinner!
Letting Lyra Loose!
With my camera, that is! I let her take my little CoolPix down the hill (I was watching from the tent!) to see what she would come up with. (She also, I see, let 3YO Luna take a few!) Pretty darned amazing for an 8-year-old; I am impressed! (Note that these have been optimized to …

Happy Birthday Casey!
These are the best of my photos from Casey’s birthday dinner which she chose to have at Ponderosa – great choice! We had a wonderful server and the food was good too! But not as good as the company :).

This week I will be talking about IcyQ – aka Icy – aka Bing. And if you were sad about Casey losing Mick, you will LOVE this one! After Spanky died, Casey and I were dogless. We had a cat, Bruce, who thought he was a dog, but not the same. And I wanted it …

Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – May 18, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 5
This week I’m going to talk about Mick. His is a shorter story, and I hope that it had a happy ending for him…it didn’t for me, I will always feel guilt when I think about Mick… When Casey was still a baby, her dad wanted to get a young dog that she could grow …
