I fell down the social media rabbit hole this week, checking on a few formerly known associates, or as some people call it “Facebook stalking.” No harm, no foul. Just checking on some people that I used to know, and fell out of touch with for one reason or another. My internet travels brought me … Continue reading The Dog Blog
One of the best feelings in the world is waking up when I’m good and ready, and not having to wake up because my alarm is going off. Recently, I slept - during the work week - for eight glorious hours. Yes! I describe those eight uninterrupted hours of sleep as glorious. I could have … Continue reading I’m Feeling Rather Sleepy
We had to say goodbye to our little Midnight this week. He was fourteen. He had been gradually failing, unable to safely navigate a flight of stairs anymore. His legs would slowly splay when he stood on the kitchen tile. Nothing major, but the signs of the passing time were there. I was not ready … Continue reading Midnight – A Dog’s Life
Do you see those people out and about in the world? You know ‘those people.’ It’s the person you see wearing shorts when it’s snowing or the one carrying a suitcase with them at the shopping mall. I try not to judge, but when I see these things I often wonder about their back story. … Continue reading Dog Days of Summer
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Recently, it occurred to me that I hadn’t heard anything from a friend in a while. I looked her up on Facebook to see if she hadn’t been posting anything or if her posts just weren’t showing up in my feed. I couldn’t find her. “Hey,” I said to a … Continue reading Facebook: Friend or Foe
Seasons in the Sun Photo by Johannes Plenio on Pexels.com The other morning while I was getting ready for work, as the sun was just starting to peep out of its sleepy nest, I received a text message from my sister. “Why does it stay dark for so long? Wait. Don’t tell me. I don’t … Continue reading Waiting For the Sun
So here we are folks. It’s the second half of autumn in Michigan. I do like autumn, but truth be told, I find the first half more enjoyable. Halloween is over now, and this past week, we’ve had our first couple days of freezing weather and light snow. MOH is not happy about it, and … Continue reading Baby It’s Cold Outside
Today we celebrate Sunny’s Gotcha Day - March 30, 2013. It was a day that I was NOT looking to add another canine friend to our pack. Our beloved red dachshund, Rudy, had passed away only a month earlier, and honestly, I was still feeling somewhat fragile having just survived the first year without my … Continue reading Along Came Sunny
– my love for dogs, that is. My family moved from Northville to Stockbridge the same month I turned three years old. Needless to say, I don’t have too many ‘real’ memories of living in Northville. Actually, I can only think of three, and one of them is of petting a red dachshund named Rudy. … Continue reading It Started with a Dachshund Named Rudy
So last Sunday on our way to our favorite breakfast diner, my other half (MOH) took a “short-cut” down a side street we wouldn’t normally take on our way into town. It was a very cold and drizzly morning and I caught a brief glimpse of a dog on a porch. Well, it wasn’t really … Continue reading The Dog on the Porch
