Wired (mostly wireless, actually)

It was a tech-heavy birthday this year. With a GPS thingy (Thanks, Rob!) — TomTom to many, but I call her Mandy, after the name of the voice I selected — the HD TiVo (Thanks, Dad!) and the PetCam (Thanks, Mom!), I can do anything. I can watch YouTube videos on my 40-inch TV! TheContinue reading “Wired (mostly wireless, actually)”

Contemplating the unfairness of life

My recovery is slow, slow, slow. Since the brief respite of my last post, the headache has been pretty bad. Yesterday and today were the first days in recent weeks when I’ve had any pain-free moments at all. Sadly, I celebrate this by sitting at my computer for hours with my head jutted forward, andContinue reading “Contemplating the unfairness of life”

Isis’ first swim

I posted about it at the time. But it’s cracking me up to reminisce.

You can bring your dog

Last summer we took Isis on a couple of road trips. She does great in the car, but her nighttime barking was a major stressor. Even though we stayed places that allowed dogs (except for one sleazy place we sneaked her into. Sneaked. A German shepherd.), every time she barked, Rob said, “She’s going toContinue reading “You can bring your dog”

I don’t want to do my laundry

I literally have been losing sleep (people use that expression figuratively, don’t they?) over a couple of issues regarding my house. One involves the permitting for a large accessory building to accommodate the garageful of martial arts equipment currently preventing me from parking my car in the garage. In an unexpected development, I was theContinue reading “I don’t want to do my laundry”

I know what you’re thinking

You’re thinking, “I’ve seen pictures of your dog running in your backyard already. Do I really need to see more?” Yes, you do. Because these were taken with my new telephoto lens. And you haven’t seen her run in circles and jump over a fallen tree in my backyard, have you? So look at these.

Doggie Doggie Bone, Y’all

I’m a-tell you, like Isis told me,Kibble rules everything around me. Apologies to Wyclef. Rob starting singing those lyrics last night. Sweetest Girl is his latest fixation, which he plays over and over and over. Hey, it beats Britney’s “Gimme More.” (I’m not joking.) To the issue at hand. We took Isis to a GermanContinue reading “Doggie Doggie Bone, Y’all”

Mug shots

What did you do for the Super Bowl?

While other people were eating wings and shouting at their widescreen TV sets (I assume), I spent last Sunday becoming an accessory to murder. Of a mouse. I don’t feel good about it, but then I work with people who go out with rifles and deliberately shoot deer and elk, so maybe my humane compassContinue reading “What did you do for the Super Bowl?”

Isis loves her new outfit

See how she smiles? You can see the design more clearly in the second shot, but she doesn’t look quite as happy. She’s just embarrassed that there’s so much dog hair on her black shirt.
