Online Dating App Blues
I’m back on the online dating scene. This time I’m trying Match dot com. To say I’m disappointed in the site is an understatement. While at first I was thrilled to see more local men on the site, I soon learned it was because many of them are fake accounts. You know, like this one. … Continue reading
After My Dog Died…
It’s been two days since Buddy died. Wednesday I was in shock. My Fitbit notified me I walked 10,000 steps that day, and almost all of them were from walking around here not knowing what to do. Thursday was a fog. I worked my regular job and even delivered some groceries, mostly to keep myself … Continue reading
Requiem for the Goodest Dog
As I write this I’m sitting on the sofa. Normally Buddy would be lying beside me with his head touching my thigh. But Buddy died today. It’s crazy. We were just at the vet yesterday having a growth on his tail checked out. The vet who saw him said it was no big deal. Buddy … Continue reading

Sunday Morning and My House Stinks!
Sunday morning walks with Buddy and Biddy Bit (my nickname for Princess Kitty) are my favorite. It’s usually quiet in our neighborhood in the early morning, but Sundays are even more so. There’s just a different feel to the air. It’s less energetic and more peaceful. This morning we heard geese overhead and watched them … Continue reading
Life with a Dog
Now that Buddy’s been here for a few weeks I remember all that I’ve missed by not having a dog in my life. Like always having a supply of poop bags in my pocket, and never assuming a trip outdoors won’t call for one. And keeping a ball cap handy for heading outdoors first thing … Continue reading
Welcome Home, Buddy!
This is Buddy. Buddy is around 10 years old and his snout is turning white. He has rough skin patches on his elbows from living much of his life confined in a crate. He has arthritis and skin irritations. He was receiving treatment for these issues in rescue and we’ve already had a visit with … Continue reading
New Beginnings
The new beginnings I’ve worked for haven’t exactly panned out the way I’d hoped. Continue reading
Why I Suck at Dating
I recently met a man for dinner. This is not a small thing; it’s the first recent date I’ve had. I thought it went well, but I thought wrong. I haven’t heard from him since. Social interactions, especially in dating situations, confuse and frustrate me. I used to think there was something seriously wrong until … Continue reading
