Bruce and Belle. Bruce’s original owners left him a year ago at the veterinary clinic I go to; someone dropped him and broke his leg and they couldn’t / didn’t want to pay for the surgery. I had lost a 6-year-old Yorkie to congestive heart failure just two months prior and wasn’t looking for another, but Bruce showed…

Speaking of dogs and accents. My neighbors new dog Gizmo would often escape int my yard to play with my dogs. One day Gizmo came over and we had a backyard barbecue going on. Everyone who talked to Gizmo got no response except a stare and wagging tail from him. Finally someone asked if was deaf. My answer that “he…

One thing my parents did that was great was they did not fight in front of the kids. I didn’t realize it until my older brother commented on it when I was graduating high school, but they were always a united front, even though I know they might not have always agreed 100% on everything. They respected each other and…

I can’t really point out anything my parents did wrong. I had a good childhood and will mimic that for my own kids.

Ahh Houston, a great place to live... a shitty place to vacation in.

I put down my sweetie yesterday. 14 years ago, we rescued each other. That dog saved my family and me by giving our lives purpose again at a really bad time.

We are meeting with hospice on Monday.

Thank you! I read every night in order to fall asleep. Reading has always been my preferred method of escape. My books are truly my best friends (other than my cats).

Also, please feel free to issue a gigantic “FUCK YOU” to anyone who even suggests we should have evacuated. You cannot evacuate 6 million people in 2 days (which is all we really got notice of, because no one predicted how bad it would be until then, and still no predicted it would be quite THIS bad). You sure as shit…

Who here has a rescue cat or dog?

I wrote last week that after more than three years, I finally have a new job. I still find it a little hard to believe, but I think this press release that came out yesterday is reasonably convincing evidence:

In my heart of hearts, that dog knew there was suffering around him, and grabbed the dog food and left in search of affected dogs in need of food. You can pry this headcanon out of my cold, dead hands.

Otis is a special doggie.

I never post on SNS because I’m perma-grey but I’m feeling good and I want to share.

Poor Selma Blair. Dogs don’t live anywhere near long enough.

Hi there! Lawyer here, married to another lawyer. Our first anniversary was in June.

Last night was my sister’s wedding! It was at a beach resort in York, Maine. Thankfully the weather cooperated, and the food was amazing.

Thanks! we’ve had a lot of Adventures together. She’s such a good dog.

Thank you so much. She’s very old, so there isn’t much they can do. They are telling us about 6 weeks, but it’s a waiting game to make sure she’s still happy. We plan to do many cuddles until then. She’s really my best friend. I just found out today so it’s been a very tearful day. Watching mindless Bridezillas is…
