Sentimenal Journey
I recently had to go through my photo files for a work project, when I quickly got waylaid and spent the afternoon going down memory lane. In no particular order–lots of happy memories below…

One Big Happy Family
A white tail deer, half hidden in the tall grass behind our second pond, is munching on an early morning breakfast.
This mama has two kids and they live back behind those trees. They’re part of our wildlife family that shares this land. I’ve gotten to know their schedule and routes through the property as well as I know my own. As I have with the foxes, coyotes, rabbits, herons, geese, ducks, turtles, and sundry other 4-footeds. Even the dogs … Read More
How Could I Have Forgotten…
Cait came running in to alert me and my niece who’s visiting about the new iPhone update — ios7.
Cait: “Look at this! They’ve changed everything! I don’t like it.”
Amanda: “Oh yeah, it’s that new flat color look.”
Me: “I like it. I’m gonna grab my phone and update it.”
Amanda yelling at me as I run from the room, “You early adopter, you!”
I come back with my phone and ask Cait how to get the upgrade, since … Read More
Rent-an-Aussie
An Aussie-loving friend and I were discussing the joys of living with and loving Australian Shepherds. Having lived with a few and fully understanding the gifts and challenges they can present, I think about whether I’d get another Aussie at this point in my life or something a little less energetic. And I really don’t know… It’s hard to ever go back once you know the intelligence level of these guys.
Maybe I should just start a “Rent-an-Aussie” business for … Read More
It’s All What You’re Used To
I had a couple of friends visiting from New York City. After two nights of being kept awake by the nightly symphony of our frogs, crickets, cicadas and other orchestra members, my friends said they couldn’t wait to get back home to the “Quiet” of the city. Mind you, they live on the same block as a hospital AND a police station!
Guess it’s all what you’re used to… : ) Click to listen to Night Sounds in the Northeast … Read More
Rescue a Human?
I guess you can tell that I’ve been pulled back into the rescue world a bit… I’ll stop now. : )
Diva Dude
People who work in Rescue have learned to get pretty creative when it comes to writing descriptions for challenging dogs they hope to find good homes for. This ad (written by a friend) works hard at both making this rescue dog seem appealing, while giving the clear message that he’d be a handful in the wrong home. This is the best kind of “truth in advertising.”

Resource-Guarding Cats?
Watching Finn dig into some of his favorite wet food, it occurred to me that I’ve never seen a cat resource-guard. Could just be my limited cat experience, or just that as a rule I’ve been lucky with the cats I’ve had. Worst cases were former feral cats who would simply withdraw from the food and wait for me to leave. But no growls or bites or claws directed at me.
Then again, cats are not the tight social species … Read More
