The moment I first saw your face, I fell in love with you. Looking off to the side, all I could see was your profile in the image, and although I looked at so many others, it was you I came back to. I wanted you, only you. A shy, timid little one year old … Continue reading Painful Choices
I wrote this poem shortly after my Midnight passed in August 2008. This is dedicated to my handsome Midnight: 1990 - 2008, he was a couple months shy of his 18th birthday when his organs shut down due to old age. Do you remember, when you were young Only two days old, my heart you … Continue reading Do You Remember?
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
Whining sound to my left. I look down and Cleo's giving me a sad face. "You want toilet Cleo?" Still sad face *Sigh* "Ok, I'll let you out." I walk to the back door and turn around. Cleo's not there.

So I have the blanket spread in my outreached arms as I look for the corners to start folding. At that moment, I spy Cleo walk in and decided to play on … Continue reading Mummy’s Little Helper

I can't walk her as much as I'd like due to my own health issues, so I worry that she's not getting enough stimulation. A couple of days ago, I came across a cat ball, with … Continue reading Treats Galore
I googled Is Chamomile Tea safe for dogs and much to my delight it was. I had left over tea from the night before but wanted to make sure I didn't make my girls sick before tipping it into their bowl. Cleo saw me approach the bowl, so she followed. "You want?" "Of course! I … Continue reading Doggy Rewards
Buying myself a kebab through a home delivery service, it wasn't enough that I shared it with my furkids. The wrapper was barely in the recycling bag for five minutes before Cleo, my near blind senior who's nose could put a bloodhound to shame, found the wrapper, fished it out of the bag and commenced … Continue reading The Things Furkids do to remind us of their presence…
Milly likes to act like the cats so that anything that looks soft enough to bed down in, she'll use it. This often includes a stray shopping bag that found its way to the floor. Imagine my amusement when Milly toddles into the kitchen with the strap of a material bag saddling her back legs, … Continue reading Going Shopping?
