Have you ever seen a sign like these on your travels?    Often we see these signs and we drive on by without really paying attention to them.  The other day I saw a small turtle shell on Highway 6 cars whizzing over top of it and I have thought and thought about that poorContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Are you a take action kind of person?  I have always been the girl that will practically jump out of a moving vehicle to save an animal in need.  I remember once  I went with my then boyfriend, to Ball’s Falls Conservation area when the salmon were running.  He thought it would be a coolContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

    “Penny the Gypsy Queen.”   Lately, I have had a little friend from the past visiting my consciousness.   Awhile back I lived in the beautiful Shuswap, what an amazing place to call home.  We bought a house that had a beautiful view of mountains in the distance, actually, it didn’t matter whereContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over….”

Last night my very dear friend Indy passed away peacefully on his favourite green chair at home!  He was a truly amazing feline!  There aren’t too many cats whose best friend is a budgie!  I met Indy a few years ago and by the second day was smitten with him.  At the time he wasContinue reading “In Loving Memory…”

Do you have a friend whose company you thoroughly enjoy, but you are at different ends of the spectrum as far as your ideas on exercise are concerned?  My spouse and I have always struggled when it comes to being active together, as I am a morning person and he is definitely not!  I amContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

“Mommy do…”  This was a phrase we coined when my first born was about 2.  It didn’t matter what the circumstance was, if my spouse tried to make her a sandwich, give her a bath or put her to bed, she would give her Dad a look and say “Mommy do!”  Kids are funny thatContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Grief is different for us all.  Some people are stoic and move on and others take their dear sweet time to process the loss of a loved one.  Losing your fur covered friend can be devastating for most of us.  Often when I hear of a friend or family member losing a beloved pet, theyContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”
