Nothing Today
My parents’ dog, Krista, was diagnosed with probable cancer this week, so I don’t really have a fun blog post in me this week. Hopefully, I’ll have something to share by mid-week. Krista is the pretty red and white … Continue reading
Trying to Bring a Little Lightheartedness to a Sad Week

“Portia, you are not leaving with a dog today,” I cautioned myself sternly as I wandered the kennels of the local limited intake facility. I couldn’t believe I was here at all given how firmly I protested to Alena and … Continue reading
Running Tools
I’ve often heard people say that running is the cheapest sport you can participate in since you only need a pair of shoes and yourself. However, you can make any sport expensive, and if you run with your dogs, like … Continue reading
What I Do To Make An Actual Living
Much as I’d like to be independently wealthy and tinker about on WordPress for one of my fabulously indulgent hobbies it simply isn’t the case. Like the vast majority of the world I need a job to fund things like … Continue reading
