An Update
For the past month, I’ve been pet-sitting for one person or another. I went to BlimeyCon at the beginning of August and came back to take over watching a set of dogs. From there, I’ve been bouncing all over the lower Kansas City area. I didn’t bring that up for any other reason than to…

The Memories We Leave Behind
Years ago, there was an older gentleman near my neighborhood who began going on nighttime walks with a dog that, to my eyes as I drove by at 40 miles per hour, seemed to be hobbling. One night as I drove by, I was shocked to discover the dog only had 3 legs. I’m not…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business.

It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

The Art Of Slowing Down
I hope you all don’t mind that I’m not putting pictures in my blog posts lately. Most posts with pictures tend to get more eyeballs, but when I do a blog on my computer, I don’t have any pictures that I can upload quite so easily. So words will have to suffice. I thought for…

Life Update Blog
I haven’t been blogging a lot and there are a lot of reasons for that. Literally none of them are good or even halfway decent. Well… two my friends released books this week and one of them usually has me help her with that… the other one did not ask for that kind of help,…
