Monday was cold – we enjoyed a high of 5°f (-15°c) which lasted for about 8 minutes before dropping back to 4 and then heading south of the zero. Tuesday started out above zero, but not by much. Maddie was having a difficult time conducting “business” in the yard. Sunday’s storm ended by depositing a... Continue Reading →
She’s Here! – #1LinerWeds
Yesterday was Christmas – Maddie loves Christmas. Maddie loves two things about Christmas, 1) Faith comes to visit, and 2) There’s wrapping paper. Maddie helps everyone unwrap their gifts, she tears the wrapping paper off the package and the she jumps up on the couch next to Faith and shreds the paper. Maddie also constantly...

But I Haven’t Been… – #1LinerWeds
Two of our three pets, and half of the world’s squirrels that live near us seem to be playing the same game lately, the game is called: “But I haven’t been…” MuMu, the larger of our two cats MiMi’s sister, began this a few weeks ago by yelling at me as I was on my... Continue Reading →
Let’s Go Home Maddie – #1LinerWeds
On Sunday, my walk with Maddie did – not – go – well. As soon as we got to the end of our driveway, I spied them. Two women and two little girls walking on Maddie’s street. I knew this was going to be a problem, but I didn’t think they would be walking very... Continue Reading →

Pay Attention – #1LinerWeds

Of course, the other part of the challenge is not weather related, it’s related to the fact that Maddie is at the end of the leash. Maddie isn’t a social creature. She doesn’t like other dogs...

Today, Linda has given us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘notice.’ Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!” If we were having a beer, you would be picking on me, perhaps with... Continue Reading →
More Catching Up
This summer has been a race against time and a battle with Mother Nature. We are trying to complete some projects around the house, maintain a garden and keep a dog happy – nature has NOT been cooperating. I have been rained out, steamed, roasted and threatened with being blown off the roof. The Editor’s... Continue Reading →
The Agreement – #1LinerWeds
A couple of weeks ago, on Saturday, Maddie got a bit of a bonus. We left the house early, to get our walk in before it started raining. I agreed to a long walk, which means around the back of the ball fields in Veterans Park. On the way home, we ran into an older... Continue Reading →
