Chia-Truck

There are many times when I wish I had a camera, but this one took the cake. Its a chia-truck. Normally when I see plants in the back of a truck its usually a hodge podge of crap stuffed in - obviously moving to re-plant. But this truck looked like it had been purposefully planted. It looks like a beautiful garden

Puppies For Sale

I have spent most of my adult life campaigning for rescues. Granted, there was 2 years in the past 10 that I went to the "dark side" in a for profit job - not that I made much of a profit. But even while in that job I had a parade of rescues coming through my home and my heart. So imagine the frustrations I felt when I saw this just a few houses down from mine



I asked a law-enforcement friend is she had the power to arrest people in Hayward, sadly she did not. I have no real recourse for these people who are breeding and selling highly difficult dogs to own - and I say that with a true understanding because I too am in love with a breed that is difficult to own. What made me even more frustrated was when I saw Michael "walking" the sire down the street in a completely uncontrolled manner. I am not sure how long these people have been here, but I find it interesting that today was the first day that I saw the dogs that live in that house and its the same day that the sign goes up. Was the "walk" a way to drum up business? I just hope to god he doesn't decide to take his advertising campaign to our local off-leash haunt.

Camo. . .

Typically I feel that if I never see camouflage in my life again I would be that much happier. But thanks to current trends I often see it everywhere. Thankfully the trend is slowly on the decline - at least for this decade. So what possessed me to crochet a baby blanket made out of camo yarn???

L.O.V.E.

Pure and simple love.

The baby comes from a military family and will probably shoot his first deer before he is 5 years old. I'm not condoning either of those things, but since he is (going to be) family, I can't really judge either.

Here is what the blanket is supposed to look like when its finished



It actually looks exactly like that (for now) but is still so small it could be a pocket scarf. . .

I better get back on the needle

Guess What???

NO COWS!!!!!



None here either. . .



The only good reason for the change in climate is that the cows are gone. Otherwise, its too cold - especially for those early morning, before work, walks. Its so cold I have to LAYER my sweatshirts!

I guess one more good thing about the change in weather is Christmas!!! I already know what I want. But I'm a little too embarrassed to ask for it - and to wear it. But it would sure make walking a lot easier. Right now I have this HUGE side bag that all my stuff gets lost in. It would make things so much easier if I had a nice little tote where I could organize my leashes, poop bags, car keys, phone, and dog treats in. Right now I feel like (and look like) St Nick - but I'm not nearly as jolly - even after my morning coffee kicks in

Normally Old Mole is bad for you, but in this case. . .

Confession

They say that confession is good for the soul - but what if you don't feel sorry for what you did? What then? Is something "wrong" if everyone you know doesn't think so?

Meet Tara



Now imagine coming home and finding that tied to your fence! Don't let the smile fool you. . . she was 100lbs of pure German Rottweiler. She was everything this breed is supposed to be: calm, stoic, loyal, affectionate, brave, trustworthy, silly, and full of love. She is the reason I love this breed so much. She was the perfect dog - in every way. I always felt safe when she was around, I new that she would never let any harm come to me - something I rarely felt with most people I knew.

She came to me late in life (hers, not mine) and she was already riddled with cancer. Her previous owner had neglected her in more ways then one, but since she never took her to the vet, she never had the mammary tumor removed and it eventually metastasized. I took care of her every need for quite some time. And when the end came, I did the humane thing and said good bye to her while she still had some of her dignity - something a rottie should always have. A few months after saying goodbye, I get a phone call from the previous owner who decided that she wanted her ashes back.



I didn't send this in, but this is my secret too. But those I have told don't blame me at all. I made a promise to that dog that she would always have a home with me. . .and I kept my promise. She still watches over me. . .
