The tail end
Chester and I take a road less traveled these days. We avoid the park and other dogs and children and cross the street for oncoming walkers. None of this has anything to do with COVID 19 or the new restrictions or social distancing and everything to do with the tail end of my dog – […]
3’s a Breeze – from the mouths of babes
Upstairs From the top of the stairs. One of the best things about the new house is that we are approximately 450 meters from my sister-in-law and her family. I’m extremely lucky; my brother-in-law is one of my best friends, my sister-in-law is hilarious, and my nieces are the perfect combination of adorable kids experiencing […]
Day Three post vaccine
I had a normal weekend – well, as normal as one can have in the middle of a pandemic – I picked up a few groceries, walked the dog and socialized with the people in my bubble. I wore my mask and kept a social distance when talking to anyone outside the bubble. Looking at […]
A Lost Week
My week started in a bit of a flap and is only settling down this morning – the week feels like one long day. It started on Sunday night when I noticed Chester had something sticky on the end of his tail and tried to wash it off. Ches isn’t a whiner, he never complains, […]
The countdown
It’s finally my turn! I’m getting my vaccine on Friday and I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. Who would have dreamt after a year of virtual lockdown the thing that was going to give us all a shot in the arm was an actual shot in the arm. I’ve been patiently waiting my […]
3’s a Breeze – Olfactory Overload
Downstairs I woke up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee this morning – a delightful start to a day. I knew better than to expect a steaming cup to magically appear on my kitchen counter even in my sleepy state – Chester hasn’t progressed much past licking crumbs off the floor in his pursuit […]
Here we go again…
The world has basically been shut down for over a year – everybody (and probably everybody’s dog) has been trying to cope with the changes. Lots of us have been snacking, loafing, netflixing and packing on the pounds. I for one have gained (amassed, incorporated) twenty. These pounds weren’t even sneaky – it seemed calories […]
3’s a Breeze – Who’s the boss?
Downstairs We discussed this new living arrangement at length before we took the plunge. We focused on the benefits that would come from combining our collective equity and purchasing a future that would look brighter for everyone. We could afford a house that would fit all our needs. We agreed on the location. And we […]
He’s with me
I’m not certain if Chester is Fergus’s uncle or cousin but I do know my son-in-law seemed a little nauseated the day it dawned on him Chester could be considered his brother-in-law. There’s something about Chester that makes people hesitant to get too close. My children are loathe to claim him as a sibling – […]
