I woke up thinking about the people in West Virginia suffering from the chemical spill that poisoned their water sources. The government says it should be cleaned up quicker than they originally thought. There are several friends on facebook keeping everyone informed about this catastrophe, far b

Those who know us well know that we've had a very long history with animal rescue, welfare, fostering and adopting. It is a huge example of yin and yang, give and take, a big mash up of love, grief, humor, love, tension, terror, love, stress and well...love. Those who know us really well and

Okay, shaking off the email this morning that might have put almost $6million dollars into an online account someone in China was ready to open for me... Phoebe Snow has been a favorite performer of mine since I was about 14 years old. Her voice is so earthy and her timing in the songs were perfe

Do you ever wonder if anyone really falls for this crap? Do you think someone opens their email, reads this and says "oh no!, I'm going to miss the chance to get almost $6million!" Then after reading through they immediately provide all that sensitive information? If they do, then they have a dis

Yes, that's right. I have a new girlfriend and she is a redhead. She already belongs to someone else though and they've been in a committed relationship for seven years. You know how these things go though, I'll just have to be happy to see her whenever I can! We often luck out with our clients.

Occasionally the power goes out in any given house. We THOUGHT we were well prepared and probably compared to a lot of households we were. Do you ever give any thought as to how well prepared YOU are if the power goes out for an extended period of time? Yesterday morning at about 5:30 am, I noti

Just when I think about what a goodly amount of time and money is spent taking care of multiple pets, I put it in perspective by thinking about people with multiple horses. Everything must be on a so much grander scale. You certainly can't just pop them into the car and drive to the vet's offic
