Today I’m deep in sewing projects and end-of-year parties so this will be a short post about my dog. And kids. Again. I wish that every day’s post was on par with yesterday’s masterpiece, but hey, I am not regularly in the presence of greatness, either. We got Blue just about a year ago from […]
As you probably know, my dog Blue is a hot mess. He’s doing so much better after a year with us but is still overly anxious, especially after Uncle Al or Shawn come over and rough-house with the kids. I swear he just about has a nervous breakdown after they leave. He doesn’t know whether […]
I have a wonderful friend, actually a couple of them, who seem to have the most accident prone dogs. I’m coming to realize that they aren’t extra accident prone, it’s just that dogs by nature are accident prone. Like today with my big, stupid dog. I had him on a short leash that was attached […]
It’s the first day of Spring Break and I already feel like I am in purgatory. We got dumped on today which makes me happy for the water table but sad for my sorry ass. Already my kids are driving me crazy and I don’t even have one down, with nine to go. The dog […]
I’m trapped in the kitchen. I blame the dog. He’s had chronic buttsplotions since we got back from LA in January despite (and maybe because of) two rounds of antibiotics. I’ve been reduced to preparing a special “bland diet” of rice, ground turkey, yogurt, pumpkin and yams. The giant batches I made would feed me […]
I stopped for some day-olds from The Breadworks and spotted this little miracle. The spray had come off the hubcap of this car just so and made this wonderful pattern in ice. I didn’t have a camera so I left a note on the windshield to point out this beauty and ask the owner to email […]
Blue never gets on the furniture. Almost never. He doesn’t look at the couches with any interest but he sleeps on Testiclese’s bed. I don’t know why he got in bed that first night but he’s pretty much called dibs on it. It was okay at first but as the dog gets fatter and the […]
I am performing at a fundraiser for Tabby’s non-profit this Saturday at Shine. It has been a rocky road to this event. When I first signed on I was teaching, since then my relationship with the studio ended and I found myself without a home and a community to encourage my progress. It takes a lot of courage […]
I’m feeling very random today, and wordy. So is Zeb. He’s doing weird things to the dog. My neighbor called to ask me if I had a bolo tie she could borrow. I was like, “You’re kidding, right? You want to know if I have a bolo tie? How about 200?” Zeb has an enormous collection […]
Every day in Boulder is an opportunity for wonder and surprise. Like this morning, I was walking El Stupido around the Sanitas area when I saw a long, skinny turd. But wait, that isn’t a turd! It’s a dreadlock! That used to be on someone’s head! Seriously, it looked like something that Blue might have […]
