Willodene Jolene has landed. She’s about 6-7 months old, which completely goes against my “oldest/longest kitty in the shelter” rule. After fostering a mama (Missy) and her five 1-day old kittens (Jake!) I swore off kittens forever. But this girl picked me, so who am I to refuse? Once it’s determined my new additions…
I recently had to get a Costco membership – long, boring story – but it’s already paying off. When I came home from Paris four years ago, my suitcase contained 10 packages of St. Michel Butter Cookies (Galettes). I was besotted. Super buttery, flakey, not terribly sweet with just a touch of salt. Costco sells…
Emma gave me five days this past week to come to terms with her passing. Like everything she did, she did it her way. And I’m grateful. She came into my life on my birthday, 8 weeks of spitfire, ready to rule the resident Great Danes in the house and become Harley’s best bud. Shelby,…
It’s sub-zero out tonight and most of tomorrow, so that meant the ducks had to come inside. The coop is not set up for those kind of rare temps. So, for the second time in five years, ducks have had to spend the night in the bathroom. This is Nick and Nora’s first winter and…
Official Sixteen Week Photo Again, we were promised treats…where are they?
I may have more formal photos later this week, but for now, going with crazy, sleeping puppy. It takes a lot of energy to grow a puppy to Great Dane size, so there is a lot of sleeping going on…and poor Scout is her favorite pillow. Every time I come into the living room, she’s…
I’m writing a weekly post on acts of kindness for another blog and I decided I’m going ot share them here, as well. Today we have a hero rescuing a little girl and the joyful follow-up of going home from the hospital and a local musician and his favorite audience ever, a neighborhood fox. The…
Trixie at 14 weeks Our vet visit was a bit delayed by holidays and then the snow last week. But we finally got there on Monday. Trixie – skinny butt that she is, weighed in at 39.6 lbs Scout at 14 weeks was 26 lbs Bixby at 14 weeks was 36 lbs and he was…
Trixie is doing great and is just the sweetest, funniest pup ever. I don’t even really have stories about her escapades because she mostly runs around with Scout in the backyard (first snow video here), chews up her cardboard (video below), sleeps and grows. Official thirteen week photo She got a reward for coming into…
Official 12 week portrait I’m not sure what I did to get such a good puppy. She’s sweet as can be and with exception of a few puppy issues – face nipping, duck chasing and potty training – she’s been a dream. And so smart – the face nipping stopped after letting her know…
