Feeling Antsy About Spring
I know that everyone else in the northern hemisphere is happily welcoming spring, but not me. I like winter. I like the cold, and the snow, and the short days…I know, I know…I’m weird. One of the harbingers of spring … Continue reading

Please Sir, May I Have Some More?
We narrowly averted tragedy here this week. I came downstairs one morning and found, well it’s still hard to talk about…I found an empty cat food bowl. Empty. I realized that Janet was listless and nearly passed out from starvation. … Continue reading
