  • No Worries

    Daisy is happy she gets to eat fish kibble at her cousin's house. Dreams are sweet when you're swimming in a bowl of tails and scales and entrails. Daisy's dressed all festive for fall, too. Autumn gives us all sweater-and-scarf thoughts. No worries, pumpkin.

  • Camera Shy

    It's hot today, but you always did like a good soak in the sun. It's been a year since I was able to scratch your chin and tell you it was too early for supper. We can feel you roam about the house, taking head count as you move from room to room so no…

  • Stew

      My side of the tale?I am skinny and quick, bitch.Stew in your own juice.

  • Bunny Hunt

    A cool down is now required. This has been one hot afternoon of dog-on-rabbit torment as the squeeze-through portions of the backyard fence have been patrolled most fervently. No animals have been harmed in today's chase, but I can't put a leash on instinct. Nature looks on while I play it safe and mend my…

  • Happiness

    Perfect moments always include a dog, a book, and a comfortable chair. This is the elusive silver bubble, encapsulated. Slip in, zip up, and never come out again. Happiness is hard to define.

  • Under the Tree

    The best vantage point in the house is right here under the tree. Angels and snowmen rub noses. Stars dance above my head. Blinking, twinkling ~ red-blue-green-gold ~ the colors cast circles on the floor. In the middle of all the excitement is where I like to be. Even with my eyes closed, the worlds…

  • Impatient

    That last ditch effort won't make the grade around here. Storm's shut down any chance of an early departure. No one's coming around, either. May as well stay put, stoke the fire. Be impatient all you like. We're stuck, not stranded. We're housebound, not down-and-out. Sit by my side. We'll watch the darkness roll in.

  • Blurriness

    Pay attention to the blurriness that poses as windblown litter. Leaves kick up a fuss but there's a familiar hand behind it all. This time of year is thin and wispy, the perfect conditions for old friends to drop by. They may sit quietly in the corner, or howl on the doorstep at 2:00 in…

  • Barrier

      The 10th is when the barrier between our worlds becomes thin as monofilament. Eight Octobers have revealed glimpses of how you spend your days now that clocks and calendars are unnecessary: Accurate casts hit the target in swift-moving rivers.  The crowd chants "DEFENSE!" Sweet, crisp air is ringed by thick, delicious smoke. Karaoke. Today…
