In honor of Alma’s birthday! Her 80th birthday!
We – Alma and I – have never met face-to-face. Wouldn’t that be fun! I admire Alma’s spirit. A business she started years ago, she continues to sell Mary Kay products. She still has some of her original customers. Alma, I’m not sure why you originally contacted me. [...]
I know this isn’t about dogs. Or dog people. But it’s an important message…one I’ve covered before on the blog. Winston’s owner Ann…if only people realized she had a stroke instead of being ‘clumsy’ while hiking. I want to cover this again, in her honor. Thanks Alma for sending.

Hi Debby,
Ken and I just got back from a short vacation to Cancun! First time we’ve had a real vacation in over ten years, and first time for me to go anywhere I needed a passport!
The highlight of our trip is shown on the little video link attached. Ken has edited out the other six [...]

Isn’t that the truth?! What a week this has been. Up here, it seems like we went from Winter to Mud to Winter. This Summer the evenings were too chilly to sit out on the deck, enjoy the sunset and watch that bats come out. With [...]
Talk about timely. Vickie send this link to The priceless Peggy Guggenheim. Last night I opened the latest issue of Smithsonian to read Decoding Jackson Pollock only to find this photo of Pollock and Peggy Guggenheim. No mention of her dogs, but sure enough she’s holding two Lhasa Apsos. Be sure to scroll through the [...]
Last night Ken and I drove down to the valley to a booksigning. First time I’ve ever done something like that.
David Wrobeleski, author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, was in Alb to promote the debut of the softcover edition.
We bought another hard cover, and I took the one I already had, to be signed. [...]
After being gone for a week, I arrived home yesterday afternoon. Rick flew in Thursday, picked me up and off we went to sight-see for a couple of days. Sight-seeing in the rain makes for some rather interesting images, which I’ll share later.
The dogs did awesome National Specialty week, from Stevie’s 5-point major to Margo’s [...]
Thanks Kathy!
