Here’s Lookin at You, Kid

Every time I try to write here… I find myself stuck in complaint. I don’t wanna be like that so I just don’t write. *sigh* It’s a vicious circle. I need to get over it.
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid:
Lulu ate an entire plate of banana pancakes off the kitchen counter this morning. Bugger! Only one [...]

Goin’ to the Dogs

As I understand it, the Obamas have narrowed down their possible choices for a breed of dog. They are trying to decide between a Labradoodle and a Portuguese water dog. (I’m leaning toward the PWD ’cause I just think it would be so much fun to watch this dog’s antics in the White House.  If [...]

Best in Show

Something unbelievable has happened: the house is quiet. It’s still early and everyone is asleep but me. I am the one who should have passed out hours ago but I guess that ol’ second wind never really dissipates after you’ve worked retail for over 20 years. Yep, I feel like I’m workin’ the second shift and loving [...]

Dogs are Simple Creatures

I can no longer come home, kick off my shoes, flop down on the couch and just relax after work. Mojo has suddenly discovered that I actually work for a living. He has definitely decided, through his extreme actions, that he loves my new job.
Dogs are simple creatures. Our dogs make emotional decisions based on [...]

Random Friday

And it feels like Tidbit Tuesday… It’s been a long week.
Have you ever gone back and read through your blog or stuff you’ve written and it seems totally foreign to you? I’ve been reading through my blog (and forgot my own password, for God’s sake!) and laughing, smiling, tearing-up, and grimacing. The grimacing is more [...]

Chupacabra

Kitty Q cannot fool me. He acts all big and tough but the fact is that he’s falling in love with sweet, gentle, happy-go-lucky Mojo. I caught him rubbing up against Mojo and purring but once he realized that I was observing him, he swung out his paw and boxed poor, confused, love-struck Mojo on [...]

Q

I am such a sucker.
Last night, we were watching TV, hanging out, when we heard some kind of ruckus going on next door. Our neighbor had company and they’d been drinkin’, a wee bit, and there was some kind of commotion going on in the foyer. Evidently, there was a kitty sitting outside their door [...]

Tidbit Tuesday

I switched over the swamp coolers today. That’s plural because I did my mom’s and then did ours. Hers was a cinch but ours is proving a bit more problematic. First of all, I fell off the damned ladder. Not exactly fall-fall, more like slipped, slid, fell, scrambled, scraped, lunged, jumped… scraping myself along the [...]

Guest Blogger Mojo

Mojo has been quite persistent about jumping up into my chair and getting his little paws all over my laptop. I told him I would help him out and be his typist/interpretter ’cause, really, he can’t read or write but he certainly has some strong opinions. (And I shall take advantage of this by interjecting [...]

WasagoodfriendofmineWasagoodfriendofmine…

When I was a kid, I had “Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night on a 45-rpm record. It had a skip in it and we would always have to hit it gently to advance past the repetitious music. It went something like this: “Jeremiah was a bullfrog! (Duh, duh, duh…) Was a good [...]
