Over the past week, I’ve been giving Ollie a haircut. Yes, I did say over the past week! I started out by shaving his feet. Then I did one back leg, then the other. Next was each front leg with associated chest. One side of his body, the other side, […]
In my last blog entry, I posted a picture of Hestia sleeping. Chanda commented that she looked like Yoda! So of course I had to take pictures of Hestia in her Star Wars shirt! The shirt originally belonged to Peregrine when he was a baby puppy. Hestia likes it a […]
Today was a little bit hard because I slept until 3 PM! That’ll teach me to go swimming and then out for dinner all in one day! I was feeling a little bummed, so Brad and I went through some of the convention pics (note, they aren’t all done!). I […]
This morning Hestia and I went to the YMCA for another water aerobics class! We are trying to go to water aerobics 2-3 times a week. I get tired, but not overly so during it. I can tell I have used up some energy (as evidenced by long naps needed […]
Yesterday it was Brad’s cousin Tam’s birthday! We had a lot of fun celebrating it, but Brad pushed himself too far what with going out and all the DOT stuff he is dealing with. Last night he was so weak he couldn’t even talk and could hardly eat. So I […]

I had a very difficult meeting today. The subject of the meeting was fine, and all the people there were fine, too. It all started after I was already seated and I noticed a small dog walking in the room, pulling on its leash. 6 ft later, the handler came […]
Today we went to the YMCA for a low-impact water aerobics class. Brad and Hestia came with me. I have been practicing with Hestia on staying in her crate and quiet for longer and longer periods of time, so I thought she would be fine at the pool, and I […]
Mother’s day is hard for me. And for many other women who are atypical mothers. For me, it’s not “happy mother’s day”, it is more of “I recognize you on this mother’s day”. In my case, I lost my one and only pregnancy to a miscarriage about 4 years ago. […]
Brad and I decided to take a day off today! I was still feeling a bit iffy from my tummy problems yesterday, so we took swimming off the calendar. Instead we’ve just been hanging out with each other, watching Netflix, playing the Wii, and generally having a good time! My […]
