Our German shephard, Zella, died earlier this year. Zella did NOT like being inside. She was a perimeter dog and felt caged in when indoors. Our blue heeler, on the other hand, LOVES being inside. But bringing Lucy in and leaving Zella out just upset Zella–she would then be miserable alone outside or with Lucy [...]
Zella died today. She was our 11+ year old German shepherd. Actually, she was my husband’s dog. He came with a dog, I came with a cat; they are both now gone. I was never a dog person, especially a large dog person. The main reason for this was that I was not around dogs [...]
I am slowly coming around to feeling completely like myself. But my irritability is still high, a sure sign I am not myself. Here’s two examples. The cat.

So little Sun has very healthy lungs. She can really wail! And that is to be expected. What we had not expected was Peanut’s reaction to her crying or to the baby altogether. Peanut has always slept with us, and she has a tendency to want to sleep on one’s throat. Needless to say, we [...]
As I have already mentioned, we adopted a kitty to become the shop kitty of our new store. The idea was that Peanut was to live at the store. That’s what shop kitties do. But CS didn’t like that she’d be alone through the one day a week the store was closed. So on Sunday [...]
Zella is the senior animal in our zoo. She is our 10 year old german shepherd. She’s HUGE, weighing in at around 130 lbs (she’s lost weight in the last year). Her jaw is bigger than my head. Captain Sarcastic already had her when we met. Having never been around large animals, it took quite [...]
Three animals live with us. Two dogs and one cat. The cat lives indoors (ala Babe) and has “outside privileges,” whereas the dogs stay outdoors and have “inside privileges.” Before I was married, I had a cat that loved no one but me. Although she did come to stand Captain Sarcastic and he did come [...]
