I mentioned in my last post that I had taken more photos of Daisy. For some reason, I had’t been able to transfer the photos to my pc and I don’t have Word Press on my phone. My fingers are too big to post anything to Word Press from my phone anyway. So – I… Continue reading Daisy

I’m sure by now that everyone knows how much I love critters (of any kind). So, I am thrilled when someone asks me to look after their critters.

Daisy’s family were heading out of town for a few days, so they asked if I could stay and look after their sweet little girl. Daisy is getting up in age and no longer enjoys going into the mountains when there is snow on the ground. She still enjoys summer there though. I met Daisy… Continue reading Spending a Few Days with Daisy

It was mostly cloudy this morning but the sun was trying to show itself when I headed out to see if I could find a new trail that had just opened up. I don’t know what the name of the mountain is (or if it even has a name), but it had been in the… Continue reading A New Mountain Trail to Walk

As many of you know, I used to have many pets. Our home was considered to be a petting zoo between all the critters we kept. Since I lost Chester, my last dog about 6 years ago, I have been without pets of my own. My daughter was out of the house and still had… Continue reading Dodger and I

Several years ago, my daughter Angela packed her bags and headed west. She hated Winnipeg (often called Winterpeg – for good reasons). It is not unusual for temperatures during the winter to get to a low of -40 (which is the same temperature in both C & F. Combined with a nasty wind much of… Continue reading My Daughter Came to Visit

The next 2 days are predicted to be even a little bit… Continue reading Taking Advantage of an Unusually Mild November Day

Today I got to spend a few hours with my little buddy – Coconut! His family was going to be away for much of the day and as he is aging, he has developed problems with his eyes. He needs regular drops in each eye a few times a day. Of course, I was willing… Continue reading A Day in the Life
