    “Variety is the Spice of Life!”   And yet for some, consistency and repetition bring a great deal of comfort!  I often pair my old guy Lucas with young Diesel for their daily walks and for the past few years it has been a lovely partnership!  Lucas has taught Diesel how to beContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Not everyone is a cat lover….and yet, I believe there is a feline out there that can change a nay-sayers position of how they feel about cats, they just have to encounter it and keep an open mind!  I will be forthright,  I used to be terrified of kitties, I didn’t trust them one tinyContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

“I can’t stand the rain, against my window…”  I had this lyric going through my head this morning as I reluctantly opened the blind.  I know, ‘April Showers bring May flowers’! Some days it is really hard to celebrate the seasons and remind oneself that with all the wet, things blossom and grow!  As theContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

My old boy is showing signs of getting on in years!  His muzzle is grey, he has cataracts in both eyes, he isn’t as spry as he once was, and he is deaf as a post!  Or that is what I have come to believe, ninety percent of the time that dog can’t hear aContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

  Do you ever wonder if in the animal kingdom there are daredevils?  We all know that person that likes to push the limits….walk along the edge of a cliff, jump off of bridges with a bungee chord, sky dive…  I remember mountain biking in B.C used to be my living on the edge activity,Continue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

  Well the day finally has come that I had to say so long to a lovely friend and walking companion!  I got my coat and suited up to go outside and was thrilled to see the sun was making an appearance!  The weather forecast for today predicted an 80% chance for rain with gustingContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Synchronicity!  The world is full of coincidences we often dismiss!  Carl Jung defined synchronicity as an “acausal connecting (togetherness) principle,” his belief was that, just as events may be connected by causality, they may also be connected by meaning.
