Sunday

Yesterday I went to church and looked up in the choir loft during mass, and yes, the woman who joined on the exact day I joined is in the choir! I couldn’t tell whether the new guy was there or not, but definitely the other new girl is in and I still have to wait. I’m starting to think that… (more…)

Lily, crazy dogs and Downton Abbey

Sonovabitch! Here is why I like Livejournal much better than WordPress, because if I idiotically close the tab with a REALLY LONG partially written entry, when I go back it asks me if I want to use the saved draft, i.e. it automatically saves the draft! WordPress, on the other hand, thinks that I don’t need the help. WordPress is… (more…)

Treats and rescue dogs

So today was my day with the rescue dogs. It was supposed to be a fifteen minute visit, which I was pretty sure was going to be a lot longer than, and I was right. They were two chihuahua mixes, Teddy and Dakota. Teddy was the one who bites, and Dakota was the one who is very scared, but really… (more…)

Rescue dogs

When people say, apropos of nothing, that they have a rescue dog, it’s usually for two reasons. One is they are bragging about how great they are for rescuing a dog (1b is rich people, explaining in not so many words why their dog is a mixed breed). The other is because the dog is a biter. So when I… (more…)

Go to bed!

It’s after midnight, what am I still doing up? I do not stay up this late anymore, I am an old lady who needs various creams. Today was my last day with the boys, Oliver and Tucker. Tucker is doing well, but he’s still 16 and this may have been the last time I saw him, poor buddy. And Oliver’s… (more…)

Dramatic dog day

Well. That certainly was an interesting day. So, this morning I got up early and walked Josh, then went over to Oliver and Tucker’s. You remember Oliver and Tucker, right? Here’s how I describe walking Oliver and Tucker: so you have this ninety-year-old man who refuses to use a walker and therefor falls down a lot and can only go… (more…)

Poor old man

I’m walking Oliver and Tucker for two weeks while their owner is out of town, as I think I have mentioned. Oliver is young and strong, Tucker is 16 and looks about 200, and all I do is hope that he will last through the eleven more days before his owner gets home. This morning I walked him and when… (more…)

Travails of a professional dog-walker

Got a call last night that Oliver and Tucker’s owner was going out of town today (he’s always very last minute) and did I want to walk them morning and evening for two weeks. Why yes, I do! Started tonight, and my goodness Tucker has gotten old. He was old when I started walking them in July or August, but… (more…)
