Friday Quote
It is Friday the 27th of February. The second to the last day of the shortest month of the year. On this day in 1827, New Orleans celebrated its first official Mardi Gras. And in 1940 on the campus of University of California, Berkeley, Martin Kamen and Sam Ruben discovered Carbon-14, which is the radioactive [...]
Teague Gets Stuck
My beautiful boy Teague had his first acupuncture session yesterday. We decided to give acupuncture a try at the suggestion of the emergency vet who saw Teague last Friday.

“Will Work for Whoats”
I know that we focus on dogs almost to the point of excluding all other animals, so I’m remedying that today. A big part of my life has been spent around horses, on horses and sometimes under horses (never on purpose). Growing up, if I could’ve lived at the stables I would’ve. I dreamed about [...]
Literary Wednesday — The “Bloodhound, Inc.” Series
Virginia Lanier’s Bloodhound Series is a must read for mystery fans who love dogs or dog lovers who enjoy good mystery stories. The first book in her series is Death in Bloodhound Red, published in 1995 when the author was in her mid sixties (giving us all hope that it’s never too late to accomplish [...]
Hippo Love
Maybe I haven’t been able to pull out all of Cupid’s arrows yet, but I have to report about the latest goings-on at the San Diego Zoo’s hippo exhibit. As many southern Californians know, the L.A. and San Diego Zoos swapped hippos earlier this year in hopes of bettering the gene pool.
The San Diego resident [...]
