Well it’s official. Yesterday was the hottest day ever in the city of Houston. Well the hottest on the thermometer anyway. It was a toasty 109. Yes 109. I have no idea what the heat index was. But it was fucking hot. Seriously. And we had quite a day. Doug and I got up early …(Read More)

Today is a dog day here. So if you’re a lover of canines you’ll probably be happy. The doctors are in… Things around here have been pretty intense of late. And because of that I’ve been kinda down. And since I’m still without my magic pills I have to depend on homeopathic remedies. The best …(Read More)
Five of our pack of 6 were sick last night; and I still have no idea why. Although I have my suspicions. Doug gave them some of his baby lima beans he didn’t finish at dinner last night. As the pack sat in a row he gave them one bean at a time. Lazer, being …(Read More)
I had to take Gizmo to the vet last week. He needed to get his phenobarbital Rx refilled for his seizures; and to do so, he needed to have blood work done. Apparently phenobarb can do liver damage; so our vet keeps a close eye on him. Before we left home I put a new …(Read More)
As I’m writing this I’m basking in the cool, dry oasis that is our house. The new AC was installed yesterday and by 11pm it was finally down to a livable 75 degrees in here.

Well not me, that’s for sure. But apparently it should go to someone in our family. It would appear it should go to Blondie, our sweet yellow mutt who just can’t get enough of being a mom; even though she’s never been one. She’s at it again. Actually has been for two weeks now. I …(Read More)
I want to thank everyone who sent positive vibes our way for the weekend for we actually had a pretty good day on Saturday- not record setting by any means, but pretty good. Of course we won’t see a dime from it for at least 10 days while the big giant heads at the festival …(Read More)
All day yesterday every time you turned on the local news in Houston all you heard was this: “ARCTIC FRONT COMING!” Danger Will Robinson! Danger! The Home Depot is running out of pipe wrap and snow is actually predicted here for the end of the week. Unfortunately it won’t be enough to build a snowman …(Read More)
Our side fence is down in the backyard. Have you ever had to walk 5 dogs, 5 times a day, many of those times in the rain for over a week? Take it from me, it sucks. Trying to get just one dog leashed and out the door at our house without the others storming …(Read More)
As I mentioned recently the first cold front of the season come through Houston a couple of days ago. It was much cooler, to be sure. However, it was still about 45 degrees outside, so it wasn’t really cold. Well things have changed since then. It was cold when I got up Saturday morning. And …(Read More)
