If you haven’t been paying attention, I have a dog. He’s a Welsh terrier and we call him Cardiff. People in my neighborhood have trouble with this name. They think his name is Curtis. Or Carver. Or Carter. I don’t think it’s a matter of pronunciation. I know I tend to mumble, but when it’s [...]

Aside from being hot and miserable through most of it, at least. Accomplished the knitting of a heel in a toe-up sock. Apparently the 37th time is the charm. Actually, it’s still not perfect. The picking-up of stitches didn’t go so well, so there are gaps. Also, maybe using size 1 needles wasn’t the best [...]

If I see any animal of any sort left in someone’s car I will do some combination of the following: Tell someone in the store closest to where the car is parked. Failing that, I will call the police. If the police or car owner doesn’t show up within 5 minutes, I will break the [...]

I was at a thing a few weeks ago and the mother of a just-about-two-year-old said her son was going through a phase where all he’d eat was scrambled eggs and Nilla wafers. I said “hey, just like my dog!” Which probably wasn’t really the best thing to say, but sometimes I don’t always think [...]

The dog and both cats have refused dinner tonight. This is not a new thing. They’re all just really annoying. Maybe it’s time to give them the nutritionless junk like Beneful and generic store-brand kibbles, because the good stuff ain’t doing it for them. They eat better than we do, people. Venison and lamb and [...]

I woke up around 6:10 in morning, said goodbye to Kitti, turned on the TV, and then suddenly it was ten minutes of eight. I hate those random time skips. Cardiff totally got shafted on a walk. I had enough time to get everything together and get him out into the yard for a little [...]
