as narrated by Mrs. Schiff People say that he’s a Harbinger of bad news — that where he goes misfortune follows. “If you see him,” they say, “turn away. Don’t look. Go somewhere else, if you can.” When I saw him I decided they were wrong. It wasn’t a big philosophical thing. I mean, people have argued — people with real blogs and stuff — that you can’t change fate just by deciding. If he’s there for you, he’s already there for you, before you turn away or go somewhere else. If he’s not ther

Puppy’s Teething Posted @ 11:33 am A dog or a puppy normally passes through the stage when they bite or chew on anything they can get their young teeth on. This is very similar to a human baby’s teething stage, or on the oral stage of a child’s psychological growth. A puppy’s teething can cause his gums to itch or hurt, and chewing on things relieves the discomfort. In teaching your dog not to bite, you must identify the triggers that cause this, then concentrate on correcting these things

The Way to Amarillo Part 55 of my solo Cycle-Across-America series. (Read from the start in Boston or see the full index) Excerpted from my journal as I continue cycling south through the Texas Panhandle. And I wasn’t singing that song. Sunday, 13th October The wind has me exhausted. It’s like I’ve had my head in front of a hairdryer all day. And it was warm. With the forecast for the winds to continue I’m in real danger of not making Lubbock on Tuesday as intended. If so, it’s not real

Snuggles O’Moore-Klopf, aka Snugs and Puma, had just barely turned 16, and then she went off by herself and died. Snugs, a patchwork American Shorthair kitty, was Ed’s and my first furry child together. She had been our cat as long as Ed and I have been together thus far; April 2008 marked 16 years that we’ve been together, and July 3 will mark our fifteenth wedding anniversary. We had her out of wedlock, bringing her to live with us when we were engaged and happily living in sin. She had an e

… the entire monolithic world of Islam will rise up as one and kill this cute, helpless puppy! In case you thought we were just kidding about Fox News, we weren’t. Here’s an actual cute puppy (you can tell, because not only Fox but the highly reliable Daily Mail, whence the story originates, devotes headline space to pointing out its cuteness) whose only offense is trying to remind you not to call 9-9-9 unless it’s an emergency, and what thanks does it get? Outrage! Anger! Furor! Let’s spen

Add cute puppies to the endless list of things we are being asked to forsake in the name of dhimmitude. Muslims consider it traditional to wipe their filthy behinds with their bare left hands, but they draw the line at pictures of puppies, which they regard as unclean. A postcard featuring a cute puppy sitting in a policeman’s hat advertising a Scottish police force’s new telephone number has sparked outrage from Muslims. Tayside Police’s new non-emergency phone number has prompted complaints f

SWMBO Picked the Name ::. OF FIFTH WHEEL KITTEH — Siamon. So far, I have no objection on the merits of the name itself, but I’ve always hewn to the principle that cats come with names attached and it’s up to their humans to discover them. Thus, Loki went through two starter names before settling on his current one. Sleepy, maybe. Grouch allows as how sometimes names can source elsewhere. Mark Philip Alger | |

I received a comment on my MySpace page that referred to my opening statement on my that page, the first paragraph reads, ‘If we are ever going to take the fight for a nonviolent world seriously, it must start first on our plates. You cannot fully stand behind a cause for nonviolence if what you put on your plate is a product of violence. Once you start paying attention to what you eat, you will become more aware of how such a small act can make a huge difference and that same attitude will

Mr Panda children’s wall art by Look at the Wall These gorgeous creations are by Melbourne designer Monique Gaspar.

This project, however, expanded quickly into a home-based business which currently offers 10 limited edition designs - each

I’m sorry I haven’t been blogging much on rescue. I have little Rudy in the barn whose picture I should be taking instead of the house cats.

I think this is the first Canada Day where Shawn and I did not go to the Old Port and take in the festivities.

I have water in my ears. Seem to have become addicted to swimming. (I’m sure it will pass.) Every day since last week, sometimes twice a day, I’ve gone swimming for as many laps as I can physically do without throwing up. (Not that many.) The right side of my neck aches from turning my head to breathe. It seems to affect my general perception a little. I feel slightly dizzy or unstable the rest of the day, when I walk around at home or on the street or in the office. It’s weird. I’m not sure if
