One of the serious impacts of seasonal snow and big winds is the snow squall where in an instant visibility almost or entirely disappears. Yesterday was one of those days here in western Massachusetts. We were advised it was coming and so I went to the post office and bank earlier than I had plan

In important times of our lives words often fail. Actually they fail a lot. Today was one of those times. Endre posted about his sweet Carmen who can't be saved. I am a long time dog gal and one of mine is frail and not doing well. I am pampering him a little more today because I'm not sure how m

It is early and it is cold but the pups and I are up and going about our day. Sometimes the beauty just hits me in the face. It did this morning.I snapped a couple of pictures and then saw the red in the cold white. Have a good day and stay warm.

I sometimes think that we might be better off without the constant warnings of terrible things ahead. I realize I am part of the problem. In my youth when it was really cold outside you would prepare and just go about the day. Now there are days of warnings. Layer up, you can get frost bite in 10

Some days are harder than others ans some weeks are almost unspeakable. I am having one of those weeks. My gang of four rescues is home and we are adjusting to their various medications. My hand is hurting from being bitten trying to get a big capsule down Finn's mouth. No more of that for me : h

It is another trip to the Vet today. I couldn't give Finn his medication for an infected foot yesterday. I tried to hide the capsule in cheese, in peanut butter and in salami to no avail. Bottom line was when I pushed it down hoping he would swallow it I got bitten twice. It hurts like hell but I
