F for Fifi, a dog from the rescue that I’ve been fostering. I’ve written about her a lot before.
Frank Baum who created the world of Oz. I believe it’s on my 101 in 1001 list to find and re-read as many of the books as I can. I loved these books when I was growing […]

I had to think about this one because there’s not a lot of ‘E’s in my life.
At least not these days, since my first serious relationship was with a man named Emmett. The relationship wasn’t a good one for us but over time I got over my anger about it and now we’re friendly to […]

Going to keep this one short.
Ryan and I are the last of the Dodsons. Unless Ryan has kids, the name will die with us. Uncle Charlie never married or had kids and Aunt Ann’s kids have their father’s name.
Recently I asked Dad about Grandpap’s house in Pennsylvania. What had he and UC & AA decided […]

Captain is my doggie soulmate.
I met him early on in my volunteering with the rescue. I don’t remember […]

Ahhh… the bane of my pet owning existance. I love him but he is a real problem child sometimes.
His story starts at the Humane Society of Central Pennsylvania.
In late summer 2004, my Grandma had to be rushed to the hospital and we thought she was going to die. We all flew back to see her. […]

First up is the Letter A. For me, the first thing I think of when I think of that letter is A for Almond Joyful..
I met Almond in April 2006 when I started volunteering with Chihuahua Rescue. They’re a no-kill rescue that also does sanctuary for many unadoptable dogs. And Almond was an “unadoptable” not […]

For the uninitiated, NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Post Month and was inspired by NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). But unlike NaNoWriMo, you can do NaBloPoMo any month of the year. All you have to do is write a blog post every day.
I’d thought to do this several months ago to give me motivation to […]
