I wouldn’t wish this on anyone
Roxi and I took Trudy to the vet yesterday. Let’s just say, if you’re a dog owner and you’re wondering why your pet is paying particular attention to the area back there, read this (do not eat while reading this!). The rest of you, please feel free to skip. Suffice it to say, it took me [...]
Something SCREAMED in the night
Saturday night, we slept with the windows open. The temperatures have been hovering around the 50s here lately with no rain, so it was a good night for some fresh evening air. It felt like I had just drifted off to sleep when I heard a high-pitched SCREAM. I was pretty groggy, but I gave [...]

These, my friend, are gen-u-wine Cowgirl Wellingtons! Well, Wellies in the way that they are made of RUBBER! Rest assured, no exotic animals [...]

Escalator through the metal [...]
