I guess you found nothing beneficial about all the crud that’s been going on since we shut down for “2 weeks to flatten the curve” ten months ago. I could say that, too, but I’d be lying. If I’m honest with myself, it’s been a good year. Mr. L has … Continue reading →
Most of us have made significant changes to our lifestyles over the last month. We’ve seen reports of reduced pollution of all kinds. We’ve seen wonderful ingenuity on the part of small businesses (survival instincts are strong), and we’ve seen signs of people in communities pulling together to help the … Continue reading →
When we found Jase two years ago, he was a mostly black puppy with a little tan and a light-colored underbelly. As he grew, he changed colors. Apparently, this is a known trait for German Shepherds (I only got curious enough to look it up yesterday). I thought the coloration … Continue reading →
Now that I’m finally able to shelter in place like a good Texan (what a week it’s been until now), I decided today would be a good day to mow as much grass/weeds as possible. In preparation for this, I checked the mower at the store yesterday. Yes, I’d put … Continue reading →
You probably saw my last post about Zelda, and that we hadn’t seen her for several weeks and had finally concluded the worst. I am delighted to report we were WRONG. Zelda is alive and well even if she is more avoidant than before. This makes my heart sing, and … Continue reading →

I could say not a lot has happened since my last post, but that’s not quite true. Ajax is successfully buried and we speak of him fondly from time to time. Mr. L had a good father-daughter trip to Pennsylvania. Shortly after he returned, I experienced something both odd and … Continue reading →
Our “Old Man” Ajax is no longer with us. We knew he was in early kidney failure earlier this year. He’s been getting thinner and thinner. Two days ago, I decided to try to get a little weight back on him. I opened a can of food, but he just … Continue reading →
The foster kittens are doing well. I was concerned about Josephine (she was hanging back when I opened the crate and not coming forward to greet me like the other three), so I arranged for Milam Touch of Love’s main foster team to work with her for a few weeks … Continue reading →
We don’t talk about Ruby much because she’s quite reclusive. She’s Delta and Rossie’s sister and was the tiniest of the siblings. As Ruby is getting older, she’s become more amenable to us petting her, but it’s still on her terms. The only place Ruby is willing to be handled … Continue reading →
