Mosquitoes are animals, voracious, blood sucking Animals.

I have been eaten alive for the last month, saw a news story on the West Nile Evil Virus and decided to stop the madness. I never spray poison in my home and yet, I sprayed everywhere, closing doors on poisoned rooms. Then I went around the front and back gardens and dumped out any rain water that...

Canine Chaos and Kitty Madness

I had to leave town for three days and asked my youngest son to come by and let the dogs out periodically, to fill their water bowls and food dishes and to talk to them a bit. He came over and the neighbor’s puppy that I am ‘babysitting’??, half own??, is afraid of men and would not go outside when... Sign in to see full entry.

Baby Visits Abuelita's House, Chews on Grandchildren and is Herself Bitten

My neighbors have a small, just three month old puppy named Baby; she is half Rottweiller and half Australian Wild Border Frisbee Shepherd Collie Something. She has one very soft brown eye and one very icy blue eye. She looks like a Rottie until you notice that one ear stands up straight and the... Sign in to see full entry.

One Day at a Time in Dying

I no longer hope for a tomorrow with Makeda, I just embrace each moment within this day. When I awake and feel her rising and falling chest, I welcome the morning. I kiss her face and talk to her of old puppy moments and funny teenaged doggie moments and silly old lady moments that our memories... Sign in to see full entry.

Makeda Is Leaving Me This Week

Dog Beds and Biscuits and Bears

My grandchildren spent almost the whole day with me, in my car, running errands on Thursday. I picked them up at 11:19 a.m. at their school and they hated the idea of one day in the car. I admitted that I hated the idea, too, but that maybe we could make it fun. I stopped to pick up all of my new... Sign in to see full entry.

Idiot Dog Owners and their poor pets..........

When these people arrived at the dog park, knowing their own animal, they could have kept it on leash until it met all of us. We were an old woman, four small children, a small dog and a very old medium sized dog. But no! They let it off leash, knowing that it runs and hits people, knocking them...

Dogs As Pillows and Heating Pads

I took about five photos of my feverish and temporarily not coughing granddaughter as she napped upon my smallest dog. Autumn was her pillow and I have since emailed the photo to her parents. Too cute. Then, my old doggies (and young), either use me as a heating pad at night or I use them. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Special Food, New Problems and What to Feed Visitors

My old dog, Makeda, has basically given up walking. She gets up to go outside only when I insist and if the grandchildren visit, she jumps up and walks around awhile. If there is a cat fight nearby in the night, she begs to go outside and bark at them to stop it. If I go out to fill the bird feeder,... Sign in to see full entry.

My doggies are rained depressed and can't stand it......

We always have very dry and drought induced sunshine filled winters. We have had more rain than I can remember lately. It is wonderful for the green things that grow and for those of us who used to have very dry skin, until this winter. However, the doggies run outside and go potty very quickly and...

About this Blog

Let us grow old together and forgive us our trespasses as we age and mellow and kindness alone remains. My old Dobie/Rottweiller and I have finally gotten over ourselves. The other pets are still full of themselves.
