I am in so much trouble with Ms. VeraWang! She’s been on her restricted diet for the past month. She gets a particular brand of Venison & Rice that comes in canned and dry kibble. It’s paying off; she’s put on some weight and her fur is looking good. She’s not having allergy symptoms, […]

Pirate Mike and I never decided that we would grow up and become prototypical Baby Boomers. We’re just cruising through life pursuing liberty and happiness. Coming along in the middle of the Boom as we did, it seems like every move we’ve made on Life’s great journey, somebody else our age is doing the […]

Hi- I’m feeling a little despondent about the whole human CON’dishun (as they say in Yorkshire) There was a news report yesterday basically saying everybody gets depressed in their middle years.
