Posted on March 18, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Today I went to the dentist for the seemingly umptee-twelfth time (that was my mother’s expression, by the way) and he ground off a bit of the troublesome tooth, then ground off a bit more and a bit more. I … Continue reading →

Snow in March

Posted on March 4, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

A year ago, it snowed in March. It snowed today, more than it did last year Maverick loves it. Max loved it, too. I hate snow. I see little beauty in it, it takes a minute to become all brown … Continue reading →

A year ago

Posted on February 18, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

You told us you didn’t feel well, that something was wrong, that you were tired and just couldn’t get up. I knew, in my heart, that time was short. I knew you would soon be leaving us. I wouldn’t allow … Continue reading →

For the love of a dog

Posted on February 9, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Remembering

Posted on February 8, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Napping

Posted on January 26, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Beginnings

Posted on January 14, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

It snowed last night.   It was only about an inch, there’s talk of a blizzard this weekend, and so my winter anxiety begins along with the talk of snow. Classes start tomorrow.  I have an afternoon class this semester.  Afternoon … Continue reading →

Randomly ranting about rescue

Posted on January 12, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

I think, if I see one more “adopt, don’t shop” post, I am going to throw up, loudly, explosively, and messily. In the past few days, I’ve had 3 encounters with dogs at the park that have not gone well.  … Continue reading →
