Finnegan has been a cat like no other. He came for Cait and, until the end, was true to her.
She was the one who gave him his name. It took a few tries. Prince was the first try. I said no, that doesn’t suit him. Skye was the second try. I said he’s too dark to be Skye. Finnegan was the third try, which was the charm. That’s how he became Finnegan … Read More
Because I’m on a DIY kick and I love brilliant solutions to common problems.
I guarantee you’ll find at least one tip that you’ll use immediately.
… Read MoreBecause both Wink and Finn need to take (multiple) pills twice a day every day, and opening their mouths (especially Finn’s) to get said pills down their throats is a nightmare, I’ve resorted to hiding the pills in whatever (safe) people food is left from our meals. I know. I know. Slippery slope. Yes, I now have two merciless beggars.
I cannot lie; Wink was already world-class. He learned it from Kiera, my Aussie who I had to retrain and … Read More

The old rule of thumb was to simply multiply the dog age by 7 to get the equivalent human age. Not so anymore. They’ve figured out a more precise formula through factoring DNA changes over time. Though the general rule that bigger dogs age faster than smaller dogs still … Read More
I’ve previously talked about Cait having serious puppy hunger. By the looks of it, it’s getting worse by the day! She just sent me this text. While I love Aussies to pieces, even I find this photo gulp-worthy.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night. Once awake, it can take me forever to get back to sleep. I was dreading the next few hours.
That was until, laying next to me in the dark, I heard Finn purring and Wink snoring.
Best white noise machine ever.
Ok, between covid cabin fever and winter snowstorms, I am SO over it. To keep myself sane, I’m thinking green!
As in this kind of green. I’m dreaming and planning for my summer gardens.
Over the years, my gardens have shrunk in size for lack of time to keep up with them.
I started going back to raised beds this past summer. For now, this is the perfect, manageable size.
But I’m thinking of going one step further. I’ve been … Read More
The things I think about…
I’ve had to do some work recently that’s required looking at maps, which got me thinking about how map land sizes can be skewed. Which got me thinking about the times I’ve flown over oceans and couldn’t fathom their size, which got me thinking about how perception changes based on context. And then I got to thinking about how much land vs how much ocean… Well, you can see the rabbit hole I went … Read More
