Kiera, Graidy, Wink and Me
Lately, I’ve had to spend more time working at my “office” office, which means that I haven’t been able to work from my home office nearly as much.
Seeing these two faces at the door as I drive by is the pits. I hate it! I don’t know how mothers who have to leave their children in daycare do it.… Read More
Cait’s little boy hasn’t been feeling so well. Feverish, tired and achy, all Wink wants to do is rest quietly. It’s sad to see this normally effervescent little guy so under the weather. (Though, in a day or so, he should be back to his normal self because he’s been started on Doxycycline, the antibiotic of choice for Lyme.)
Wink has been unlucky enough to contract Lyme Disease. I say unlucky because once a dog is infected with Lyme, it … Read More
Having recently gone through a growth spurt, Cait was in need of some new clothes. So off to the Mall we went. We always concentrate our efforts in this one particular store, because we always have good luck finding cloths that fit and that Cait will actually wear.
The tradition is to make our way around each department — shoes, pants, tops, etc.– until, at the very end, we come to the fancy dress section. This is where the fun … Read More
Early this morning, around 2 a.m., I was awoken by incessant barking coming from downstairs. Not an altogether unheard of occurrence at our house, with so many wild animals engendering great interest as they traipse through our ten-acre kingdom.
Boy, was I never so happy to be roused from a sound sleep! I got up to check on where the missing Graidy was. As soon as I hit the upstairs hallway, I was bowled over by propane fumes. I got … Read More
It’s in the air today, along with the gathering thunderclouds. Everyone around here is hunting for something.
Our Great Blue Heron is on the hunt for his lunch.
He seldom misses.
He’s snagged himself a nice fish.
Oh, there’s something else fishing there along the side of the pond!
Is it our Fisher (a weasel)?
Nope. I’d recognize that fluffy tail anywhere. Looks like Finn’s found some good hunting by the pond too.

I picked up Kiera late yesterday afternoon and she had a tough night. She’s doing much better this morning.
The vet thinks the growth was a result of an abscessed tooth, which she removed with a section of the gum just to be safe. It looks like we dodged a bullet! Exhaling now…
While Kiera is resting comfortably at my feet, I thought I’d use this time to talk about what can cause a canine abscessed tooth, what some of … Read More
Kiera is going in for surgery this morning to remove a growth on her gums.
Please send good thoughts for a speedy recovery and a benign biopsy.… Read More
Time flies when you’re having fun. And Cait has been having loads of fun with her little boy. Hard to believe he’s one year old!
Our very first meeting.
Wink (then named Casey) was a little shy and oh so tiny.… Read More
