Dog Whisperer



I just got into watching this amazing man work with dogs. He is just something else. His canine psychology is dead on. What he can do in such a short time with a dog who doesn't know how to be a dog is just wonderful. If you love dogs, you have got to see this show.

Spiders and Flies

Today, in the spider sanctuary that is my bathroom, I watched as a very small spider wrapped up a fly that was about 4 times bigger than herself. It was not only awe- inspiring to watch how she quickly and with great precision wound her fine silk around him as he tried desperately to escape the web. But it was also terribly sad. I felt so bad for the fly as he buzzed his wings trying so hard to get away. But I also know that it is Mother Nature taking care of her own and we are not to interfere. But it was a most poignant moment.

Out of the Darkness

Please, please, please. Be aware of people you know.
Talk, talk, talk. If you feel like you just can't do it anymore,
tell someone.
Listen,listen, listen. If a friend needs to talk.
We know the pain. We will do all we can to help.
We understand.
Give us a chance to help you see that there is Light
We found it somehow. We might have found it in you. We want to have the chance to tell you that.
You are LOVED

Cat thoughts


Cats are the most interesting creatures. You cannot look at a cat sleeping without feeling calm inside. Dogs are needy, cats are aloof. Dogs have masters, cats have staff. I just finished reading a precious little book titled, "A Cat's Little Instruction Book" by Leigh W Rutledge. I found it at an antique store, although it isn't really an "antique" book. It was first published in 1993. But this book says it all. Just one quote:....." Try to avoid sitting around with your tongue sticking halfway out of your mouth; it tends to make you look slightly loopy".


This is the sweetest cat book I have ever read.

Ah, Tonight


Ah....tonight is the debate with Palin and Biden. I have to pop the popcorn and settle in for the comedy show. This ought to be good. I don't know alot about Biden, but Palin, I don't know how they could have got her "prepped" not to sound really dumb. Or maybe she has been faking us all out this whole time. It should be interesting. Very.
