‘Tis the season, yes? It’s barreling toward us…another start of another year when we look back and take stock of what we accomplished in the last 12 months.  Another lost chance to be toned and well-honed, loved, rich, enlightened, famous, respected, vice-free (so un-fun!) and any myriad other gag-inducing goals.  OK fyne! Being rich is [...]

We lost our cherished beautiful, spunky, mischievous, playful, loving and demanding, darling companion dog…the one I had been writing about here.  Intellectually and spiritually I [...]

It started with some sneezing this winter.  Now, we are faced with the diagnosis of terminal cancer for our beloved rescue dog, Paloma.  It’s a journey millions have sadly taken with their companion animals and if you’ll indulge me, I thought I’d write down some details of diagnosis, treatment, and my thoughts and emotions as [...]

Ode to Pumpkin

You were just a big love sponge, weren’t you? You soaked up more affection and loving than most cats do in 20 years.  Thing is, you gave it all back, and more.  Now you’re off to the big salmon platter in the sky…I want to be happy for you, but these damn tears… Thank you [...]
