We had almost two years with a very difficult rescue dog, and then several months with Brenna as our only dog. Since Brenna is deaf, she couldn't alert me to sounds or strangers around the house, and I kept thinking about how I'd like to have another dog. I really wanted a puppy, if possible, … Continue reading Pet intro: Jasper

Me? I'm just a crazy cat lady, introverted bookworm, public radio nerd, chicken cuddler, LGBTQ ally, and stay-at-home-dog-mom. I'm also the mom of two awesome adults. I like to drink coffee until it's time for wine. I have enough perfume, lipstick, nail polish, and scented wax melts to last me until kingdom come but that doesn't stop me from wanting more!
Pet intro: Chickens
I've wanted to keep chickens for years. We got our first chickens in February of 2017. We had 3 Rhode Island Red hens. Unfortunately, we lost them to a dog with a high prey drive. William built a fence for our side yard, and we started over with Silkies, chickens with fluffy feathers instead of … Continue reading Pet intro: Chickens
Pet intro: Willow
Willow is our 5 year old dilute tortoise shell cat (dilute tortie). We adopted her from our local Humane Society in 2015. Willow's gotcha day We got her to keep Meap company, but they didn't click immediately. Actually, they've never really bonded closely. They don't cuddle, or anything like that. But they get along well, … Continue reading Pet intro: Willow
Pet intro: Meap
I adopted Meap from a local cat rescue in December of 2009. She was hand raised by a volunteer, along with her sibling. She was super spoiled, and still taking a bottle at 10 weeks old, lol. My daughter chose the name Meap after some cute little alien character on the cartoon show Phineas & … Continue reading Pet intro: Meap

Awww.. puppy Brenna! She was the cutest little thing. Back then, it was just me … Continue reading Pet intro: Brenna
I’m baaack!
First, let me apologize for the long absence. Sometimes, life - and death - can get in the way of things. My close friend battled cancer for the last two years. I was blessed to be able to be with him as much as possible during his last few weeks, but, sadly, he passed away … Continue reading I’m baaack!

Back on track (I hope!)
I have psoriatic arthritis. I was diagnosed in early 2017, after a lot of really random symptoms: one episode of never-actually-diagnosed psoriasis on my elbows in April 2016, back and joint pain starting in November 2016, swollen, tingly, itchy hands in 2017. My primary doctor referred me to see a rheumatologist. I did a trial … Continue reading Back on track (I hope!)
