Doggy Guest #64 Rudy returns

This little cutie patootie was here again, this time for a week. Rudy was such a good boy, but boy does he like to lick everything, all of the time! Rudy is also a great snuggler, which I love! I look forward to spending time with him again, in the future.

When Your Ex Husband Passes Away.

We were married for 22 years, before he left me, out of the blue, for someone else, back in 2014. Our divorce was final in 2015.

My childhood mentor became my friend

In the mid 70’s, when I was 10 years old, my father died by suicide. My memories, from that time in my life, are sketchy, which “they” say, that if you experience something tragic, you could lose or block some memories. I remember that my father was found and taken to the hospital, and was […]

Doggy Guest #55, Marleau

Marleau is a male Keeshond and my first keeshond guest. I watched Marleau twice before, for a couple of hours each, for a trial run, and those visits went well. The owners were happy, so they booked a weekend stay for Marleau. We had a good weekend, but Marleau was very distant and timid. He […]

Doggy Guest #51, Remy

I have been pretty lucky, with all of the doggy visitors, that I have had, in the past 3 years. But not every guest is a perfect guest… Remy is a 12 year old Havanese. He was here for 9 days… 8 days too long, lol. Dont get me wrong, he was a very sweet […]
