    But At Home, He’s a Lover

    We went to the vet this morning…  my body still hurts. We left the house intact. The vet pored over every inch of both Maybe and Brick for their semiannual wellness check. Things were going well, we talked about Maybe – if not more mobile, definitely happier now that she’s back on carprofen. We talked about […]

    Dogs: From Couch to Campsite

    Two months ago we made a half assed effort to test the dogs in the travel trailer.  We only went 15 minutes from home, took two cars and I brought the dogs home to take a nap midday, we had full hookups…  Overall, it was ok, Brick hated outside but we were content to leave […]

    Lunch with a Ringwraith

    For all of their lives I have used my midday work break to go home and let the dogs out. I have one hour to travel the 11 miles to Mordor and back, dodging feral Teslas on autopilot like they’re the orcs of Sauron. If I’m lucky, the goblins of Moria go right out to […]

    Machiavellian Maybe

    If you have ever read, googled, listened to a podcast, or been advised by the “experts” on dog behavior, you’ve probably heard the same lecture over and over: dogs do not plot, scheme, or act out of revenge or malice. “Dogs live in the present. They lack the cognitive ability to plan or plot for […]

    Absolutely Maybe

    It’s been an expensive year as far as vet bills are concerned, we’ve just passed the low five figure mark as Maybe’s gone and busted the remaining hip.  When her right hip was dislocated, I had no idea. I saw the weakness but she is also positive for Cushing’s and muscle weakness is a symptom […]

    My Monkeys, My Circus

    This morning started as every other morning; I get up, potty and feed dogs, get in the shower.  Things took a turn somewhere between shampooing and conditioning. I get out of the shower and, wrapped in a towel, head towards the room where my clothes live. I happen to glance out the window and see Boyfriend, still […]

    Mouse Tale

    Yesterday I was in the office working and I heard Boyfriend walk in. Seconds later he was shouting “Maybe! Brick! MAYBE!! BRICK!! Get in here!”  I walked into the kitchen to see what the commotion was about and Boyfriend barked at me “Your dogs don’t listen! There was a mouse in the kitchen! I called […]

    Mother’s Curse. Introduction.

    I was a pain in the ass kid. I can’t candy coat it. I secretly [with my outside voice] take pride in knowing most of my mom’s grey hairs are my fault. I think she should look at each as a trophy and be proud that we both survived my teens.  But no, instead she […]

    But I do like tea…

    What is good about having a pet? The question immediately takes my thoughts to the outrageous vet bills, the pet insurance that jumped 70% in premium, the dog food that doubled in price during transportation issues caused by covid – but of course never came back down. The dark spots on all my rugs and […]

    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; […]
