Hit the Trail

This is Cupcake, my childhood dog. At times when life was rough, she was my savior. A Beagle German Shepard mix, she weighed 40 pounds ...small but she had a big bark.

I got her when I was 10 after many years of begging for a dog...and just before my parents got divorced. She loved to go for walks, camping, running, canoeing and skunking. Anything outdoors...except swimming. Being in the water was a terror to her. She lived to the ripe old age of 16 and even attended my wedding reception. I took this picture just before we started off on a hike. She was a little impatient to get going. "Mom, you are taking too long!" I'll always remember her.
Good dog Cuppy.

Hens alive!

Last night, Fort Collins, CO passed a new ordinance allowing people living in the city to keep up to 6 hens in their backyards! How cool is that?

This post is for them.

This is Jaunty. One of the Guide Dogs for the Blind puppies that we raised in Colorado. She was my "baby" and very hard to give up. She's now she's living as a guide with her person in Illinois.

P.S. Can ya tell? I Love white labs! :)

Russian Blues

My gorgeous, lovey, cuddly, double coated, wet-nosed cat Melchizedek the Maverick.

He likes to talk and demand to be played with at 3:00am.

Loud but beautiful. ;)
