Every day that I've been home, I've bribed all my cats to go out to the garage so I can have a quiet day in the house. The cats have grown used to this routine so that I have no need to bribe them anymore. One of my newest goals is to clean the garage … Continue reading Clever puss

No Santa
As the 6 year old walked through the house holding her elderly neighbour's hand, she took in the scene before her; her father at the table, face down in his food, her older brother lying half on, half off the couch, and by the kitchen sink, her mother was sprawled on the floor. "So I … Continue reading No Santa
Today’s antics – 7th December 2017
MILLY Milly refused to go to toilet before bed last night, so I put on her nappy in case she had an accident through the night. This morning, Milly was in such a rush to go to the toilet that I'd forgotten she was still wearing her nappy. A flashback of the night before reminded … Continue reading Today’s antics – 7th December 2017
Given up
I tried to help you but you just wouldn't leave him When I saw the abuse, my eyes filled to the brim I pleaded and begged with you, tried to explain But you chose to stay bowing down to his reign One time when I came by, you had a black eye You claimed to … Continue reading Given up

Minus a Myna
So here I am trying to have an afternoon nap on my new (2nd hand) queen sized bed after spending an hour grooming Cleo and Milly (not so much grooming, more so cutting weeds out of their fur). I had just heavily dozed off when a strange sound caused me to open my eyes. I … Continue reading Minus a Myna
Blind Dog’s Bluff
It is SO much fun playing hide and seek with a dog who's eyesight is poor. I was standing in the middle of the loungeroom watching where Cleo was going as she was doing her normal vacuum routine. (Cleo is a natural born vacuum, always with nose to ground looking for something to suck up, … Continue reading Blind Dog’s Bluff
Obsession
You're my world, you're my reason for being You're the reason I constantly have this feeling This internal deep love embedded in mind and heart I think I'd die if we were forever apart. Even in my dreams, you're always by my side Whenever my dreams became nightmares, I cried The thought of anything ever … Continue reading Obsession
Bully
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me" That old saying would bring some moans and it's the words that I would flee All that's said cuts deeply in as if it were a knife Memories of these words to this day scar my life You don't need to be … Continue reading Bully
