Puppet Show
I participated in Halloween and ended up crawling with mice.

All Hallows’ Eve
I don’t hand out candy. First, and most importantly, I have a very sensitive dog. He doesn’t like kids (I think they confuse him) and to have them shrieking through the night is almost as unsettling as the fireworks on the 4th of July. It is kind of understandable; you go about your average day; a car honk here and…

A walk in the park
I have two dogs. They are so completely different from one another; it feels like three. Brick doesn’t like kids and I can’t blame him. Think about it from a dog’s perspective; they smell funny, if they’ve a full diaper they smell gross, they’re often sticky, they’re wobbly, they’re prone to loud unexplained outbursts. Kinda like a hairless raccoon in…

You dropped something
I go home for lunch every day. For the last couple weeks I’ve been driving like a psychopath. I’m so fed up with the wall-to-wall trucks, the girl doing her make up, the guy playing video games, the tesla’s that just make their own rules. The best defense is a good offense so, pedal to the metal! As is the…

Few moments of history..
I don’t suppose a person really knows at the time an event is happening that it will one day be noted in history books or grace the cover of Time magazine on the ten-year anniversary of said event. At almost 50 I’m on the cusp of “senior citizen” so I’m sure there are many things that I should know about…

Trashy Neighbor
On today’s episode of why my neighborhood sucks: I was walking Brick and saw a guy walking on the opposite side of the street in our direction. Brick got bristly, which is unusual on sight of a human, so we stopped to wait for him to pass. Completely oblivious to us standing on the sidewalk waiting for him to move…

Proudest Moment (so far?)
I’m nearly 50 and have spent my entire life in the bay area and I’ve always been a bit… I don’t want to say “rebellious” because I’ve never burned a bra or been to prison. On the whole I’m really rather quiet and reserved – but I’ve never really followed social expectations. You know, being a girl in the 90’s…

Airbnb Review
This house was amazing and our mini vacation started off normal but then we decided to put our cell phones away and go play in the game room! There was so much to do, we almost couldn’t decide but then we heard this faint – it sounded like a tribal drum – and while poking around looking for the source…

VCA & Corporate Greed
In an attempt to bully customers into buying their more expensive medications, VCA Animal Hospital has changed their policy, effective 05/01/23: you can buy from them, or take a paper prescription to your choice of pharmacies. For people with more than one pet, people who foster, people who simply don’t have time for this aggravation (which includes pretty much the entire pet…
