MaeMae, our witchy cat: Oh, god, it's the drunkard again. Puppy: Hello maybe you're confused my name is Pickles not Pickled I know it's close but I'm too young to drink I'm not five months old yet how old are you Me: Hah! Guess he taught you. Getting acquainted again… The cat glared at me … Continue reading Hooray! Shouted the pupper. I’m back!
Okay, it’s not a cage, it’s an X-Pen. And we spent a lot of time in there with him… he stayed with us for a few days and it was just easier to have the twelve-week-old corralled in a fairly enclosed area. Inevitably, he had contact with the rather disgruntled cat. MaeMae was especially bent … Continue reading The kiddo clearly wanted out of the cage.
Me: no you’re not. You’re fine now. Puppy: yes I am see watch She crouched on the lawn, pitifully struggling, whining a bit. Me: you pooped an hour ago, I’m not surprised nothing’s coming out. MaeMae the cat, rolling her eyes: if you’d learn to catch your own food, ding dong, you wouldn’t have to … Continue reading But I’m constipated! Whined the dog.
We arrived in Santa Cruz de Tenerife without plans or reservations for a tour… the only thing that appealed to me was riding around on large motorized trikes but that was only available if we landed at the southern end of the island (we were on the north). We saw nothing that related to the … Continue reading I kept circling back to the world’s worst air disaster…
Oh, batchit, I thought, as blind (sans glasses), I started running the water in the tub for a shower. One extremely leggy arachnid struggled to get out of the flow, but couldn’t as the stopper was firmly stuck. It was our first morning in a new AirBnB and I wasn’t familiar with how the stopper … Continue reading The spider screamed.
I don’t normally go out much in the evenings, but Beloved does, and I wanted to be a sport on this three night cruise to pick up our 15th credit… and magical Elite status on Princess. Not that it’s as magical as it used to be. However, it’s not half bad. You get a bar … Continue reading Well, that was about as silly-buggers as I’ve ever seen on a cruise ship.
Finally. Finally I have reached the point in my life when I can fly international business class. AAAAAAHHHH… Okay, we started last summer when we upgraded to business on Air New Zealand. No shade on the Kiwis, but the business class on their tired aircraft was nice, no doubt, but it was showing its age. … Continue reading American Flagship Business Class LAX – LHR
Sitting in bed early this Sunday morning, I was looking at the website for the local parish church (we’re visiting family this week). They said their 9am was “a short, traditional service with a ten minute sermon and familiar hymns”. Ooooooookay, that is MY kind of event. Short, traditional with hymns I’ve known since preschool … Continue reading Well. Not my style, really.
Me: No, dammit, leave it alone! The dog wants the bedroom door open. Not because she wants/needs access, but because she seems to like the security of knowing what’s going on. I, on the other hand, am trying to be fiscally responsible. This all started when Granny moved in. I am so, SO happy she … Continue reading It needs to be open! Insisted the dog.
We got to the Guide Dogs of America campus early, as instructed, so we’d have time to reconnect with our first attempt at puppy raising and her new owner. R____, our GDA puppy in training, spent the time at their kennel as we weren’t able to find a sitter and all of us (me, Granny, … Continue reading Miss M graduates
