Sosta is sick. We had some urination problems since the move and took her to the vet. They did a mini blood panel and didn’t find anything wrong. The doctor also examined a little lump—barely bigger than her Avid chip—-she’s had for years. There were no problems. We moved the litter box in hopes of […]
We just left the Round Rock Scion dealership with the first part of the paperwork and a new car on order! We haven’t had new vehicles since 2000 when our’s both died at the same time. (And, by the way, two new vehicles at the same time is not as much fun as it sounds.) […]
At Texas School this year, I bought a small softbox and a tiny flash and some comm devices to sync them. I have a lot of plans to use this little (light and portable) setup and have my first opportunity coming up in a few days. Since May, I had played with them all, but […]
Our time with her was short. We rescued Valvet from the water cutoff valve at Easter this year. She was so dehydrated that she could not open her eyes. In just a few minutes, she looked better and was then eating and functioning quite well….we thought. Last Sunday, she started to look lethargic. When I […]
[Editor’s note: please excuse the really rough images and edits. Shooting an aquarium is challenging, but grabbing the camera and getting the shot without spooking them out of their cute pose is really difficult. I hope to have more/better images later, especially as Valvet gets more and more used to my voice.] Tiny Valvet To […]
Valvet is acclimating nicely. Yay for our reptile family! She is the “beta” member of our turtle family, which Turtleor has made clear with the flapping of her front paws/claws (Patty R., help me out here! What are turtle’s feet called? fins? webs?). Early on, Valvet seems to be the smarter/faster turtle. Like most “second” […]
This is a funny little example of the way our world works. As we were leaving the house for Easter… E: Turtleor is upset that we’re leaving. She thinks we are going to bring her a baby brother or sister. As we were driving into Dime Box… L: I hope we don’t find another turtle. […]
Purrrrrl has taken to sleeping under the comforter on our bed.
So we decided to paint the boardwalks to the house this evening. (We aren’t usually fans of painted wood, but it had been painted before.) We started at front door, painted up the stairs and up to the driveway. Then we started at the garage door and painted down the stairs toward the kitchen. This […]
About a year ago, we had to find a new home for Indigo. We just couldn’t provide what he needed. He went to live with Matthew on dozens of acres and has been such a good dog for Matthew and his family. They hunt together and Indi goes with Matthew when he goes horseback riding […]
