It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! We’ve got two new birds that seem to have taken up permanent residence.
The bald eagle flew right over my head to make itself known. I’ve seen it a few times now. They’re not that common around here, so it’s exciting to get to see.
The turkey… The poor turkey has actually been booted out of its flock. Since it’s mating season and the dominant male doesn’t want any competition, he’s been ostracized. … Read More
…Two dogs ago.
When I saw that tagline, I laughed and thought, yep, that was me. I used to be normal. Before I started adding more dogs and a cat to our animal family. My life used to be sane back then.
But life often has other plans for me. You can read about a couple of those plans here and here.
You see, as I have often written about, two dogs are the perfect number. For so … Read More
This is a beginning introduction on how to follow your breath in meditation.
I never get tired of the rhythm of the seasons.

A big box from Amazon addressed to me showed up today. This deluxe dog bed was inside.

No one I know thinks it’s a good idea for me to get another dog so soon. And so no one I can think of who might have sent it, admits to it.
A sign from the universe that somewhere there’s a dog being that wants to come share its life … Read More
Meet Bob. My new dog.
He’s a pound puppy. Well, actually a pound old man; he’s around 8 years old. And he’s sweet as can be.
I know I said I was going to wait at least a year but…
Well…
I sort of am still waiting.
Bob is a dear friend’s dog that we’re dog-sitting for. Her usual standby wasn’t available and she had a terrible experience trying someone on Rover.com. (Not all Rover experiences turn out poorly. You … Read More
Because I like to go on walkabouts from time to time, which often means an unplanned, unresearched trip that could land me anywhere in the world, one of the top, always-pack items I take is some kind of water filtration gadget. My go-to for a long time has been the LifeStraw 22 oz, BPA-free filtration bottle. I love it. Easy to use and works great.
But I’m always keeping my eye out for what’s coming down the pike with water … Read More
Because it’s the end of the week. And because I love to laugh. And because Cait has switched from bombarding me with Aussies rescue links to bombarding me with funny dog videos. Hallelujah!
