You know those gritty, dramatic inner city sets (movie or theatre) where part of the atmosphere is a disheveled figure slumped in a doorway, with their head propped against the door frame? That would be my dog. The moment the season is warm enough for my kitchen door to be open (to let in some…
‘What if…’ is a popular thought provoker at my house, and can produce some interesting results. My younger son must of been thinking about knock-off products and had a mental meander. The result of his tangental thinking was ‘What if there was a knock-off Jesus?’. Jebus He is the Son of Dog, the local motorcycle…
I will admit I am not the best at dog maintenance. I walk them, feed them good quality food, make regular visits to the vet, but the grooming part, not so good. Today, after ignoring it on my ‘to do’ list for weeks, I finally remembered it was time to brush, trim, and clip. My…
There is a dirt path along part of my dog walking route. It goes along a forested incline down into the lower part of the cemetery. It is where I get to see the first of the spring flowers, learned how to identify poison ivy (after having contact with it from pulling out garlic mustard),…

My mother-in-law finds me funny. I always think this is a good thing because it makes most of my idiosyncratic behaviours easier to tolerate. Once a week my mother-in-law comes for her ‘Granma day’, and because I like her and she likes me, it is a wonderful thing. So, while Granma is present to make…
‘Why’ is one of mine and my kids favourite words. ‘Why’ has lead us on many interesting and ridiculous journeys. One of our most resent ‘why’ was why don’t we greet people like we greet dogs? So we decided to greet each other like we greet our dogs. Face, ear, head rubs, silly voices and…
