Piper, the Bee Hunter
by • • 2 Comments
Piper, my mountain cur/beagle mix, is a wonderful dog. My husband brought her home to me from a shelter. Her previous owners just let her run loose, so she was picked up by the pound. When the pound called these owners, they told the pound to just keep her. In other words, they no longer wanted her.

I’m snowed in (and cut off from civilization) while writing this. Thank you. Winter Storm Fern. What a name for a storm in the winter. Anyway, while I was outside in this snowy weather feeding my outdoor cat, I saw something that amazed me. I’m walking back and forth on my front porch, making sure to avoid a huge strip of ice on the edge, when I saw something moving through my yard out of the corner of my eye. What would be out and up here in this kind of weather?

My encounters with birds have been few. Except for me saving the birds that have smacked into my windows from my outdoor cat, who probably would have loved to attack them, most of these encounters have not ended well.

Morning Surprise
by • • 1 Comment
I woke up this morning with a mouse in my bed. A mouse isn’t something I want in my bedroom, especially not in my bed. Granted, it was already dead, and that is preferable to it being alive and running around. I’m assuming it was already dead when it ended up under the covers. And at least it wasn’t right next to me. Still, I will be changing my sheets today.

Mr. Muffins Goes to Paris – a Review
by • • 0 Comments
Cats are lovable, playful companions, and they each have their own personality. Cats all have a few things in common though: they are incredibly sneaky, and they like to go places. If given the opportunity, they would all be globe-trotters. Mr. Muffins is a perfect example of this.

It was a dark and stormy night. Those words have taken on new meaning for me after these past few weeks and Hurricane Helene.
