While I’ve been trying to convince the Internet that saying Police Lives Matter as a response to Black Lives Matter is racist, and explaining that it’s not helpful to try to be inclusive by saying All Lives Matter, Rob has been creating Dog Park Art. This post is part of the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday BlogContinue reading “Dog Park Art”

Writing outside with wifi and dogs
I am so close to finishing my novel, Fight Like a Lady. And by finishing, I mean writing an ending so I can go back and revise the hell out of the beginning and middle. The climactic scene involves a gun, so you can imagine how much I felt like working on it whenContinue reading “Writing outside with wifi and dogs”
Blog the Change for Everyone
This news story irritated me this morning (emphasis mine). A dog described as an American Bulldog was visiting a Temecula home Saturday afternoon when the dog mistook kids playing as aggressive action, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. … The dog, described by animal control officers as an American Bulldog, was with three childrenContinue reading “Blog the Change for Everyone”
When famous people die
After Kurt Cobain killed himself, one of my mom’s college students said she was so distraught that she couldn’t turn in her assignment. As a college student myself at the time, I thought that was a pretty shoddy excuse. I mean, light a candle outside your local record store, listen to Heart-Shaped Box on repeat,Continue reading “When famous people die”
In the background: A freeway falls into the river
For the Weekly Photo Challenge: In the Background, I give you Interstate 5 collapsed into the Skagit River. Allow me to zoom out so you can see how close my old office used to be to this freeway. This bridge has been in the background of my life for the past 10 years. From late 2006Continue reading “In the background: A freeway falls into the river”
I don’t eat Paleo, but my dogs do
Have you heard about the potentially controversial research that dogs, through evolution, can now digest carbs in a way that wolves could not? When I heard, and decided to blog about it, I was astonished to see how little I have written about raw feeding. A mention here or there, sure, but nothing significant since IContinue reading “I don’t eat Paleo, but my dogs do”
I’ve never liked guns
Who needs these military-style assault weapons? Who needs an ammunition feeding device capable of holding 100 rounds? These weapons are not for hunting deer – they’re for hunting people. ~Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) These things? Never useful. ~Buffy the Vampire Slayer I found myself in a discussion about guns the night before the Sandy HookContinue reading “I’ve never liked guns”
Information Officer
When you hear that 80 percent of Americans say the economy is a significant source of stress, don’t you think the other 20 percent must be in serious denial? Of those surveyed, only 48 percent report being depressed or sad? I’m depressed about the economy, and in particular the decline of The Newspaper, even thoughContinue reading “Information Officer”
Un-American Girl
Feeling guilty about a review I posted on Amazon last week. The book is From Baghdad to America and it is the sequel to From Baghdad, With Love and it’s about a dog. Also the war in Iraq and the Marine who rescued the dog and moved with him to La Jolla. (Hey, La JollaContinue reading “Un-American Girl”
What’s up, Blogosphere?
Got some bears in the news. Man jailed in India for riding around with a bear on his bicycle: That’s not my photo, btw. Courtesy of Associated Press. We’re trying to domesticate them closer to home, too. The news around me is that I’m all about upgrading this week. I’ve been wanting a widescreen TVContinue reading “What’s up, Blogosphere?”
