The Price of Love
Dedicated to Howie 11/17/2013 – 10/06/2023
It’s New Year’s Eve, and I am fluctuating between writing and watching the entertainment in Times Square. I had a blessed year because I woke up this morning and am still here. It was a challenging year in many ways, but the strength to meet the challenges somehow appeared in my path when needed.
The year was simultaneously happy and sad because I fell in love and lost my companion within ten months. His n...

The Dowager’s Dog ~ Now Complete!
Toby’s story is now complete on Kindle Vella. We met the little guy when he was dumped off at a shelter, an old boy who’d only known one home. When his new Mama walked in and adopted him, she had no idea how true the old adage of “No good deed goes unpunished” would be! Their adventure is scary but they are hearty New Englanders, and they will give it their all to survive and stay together.
The photo is of my dog Howie, adopted 12/24/22 at the ripe old age of 9, and my inspiration for this s...

Dog Parent’s Responsibilities
I want to say something about being a responsible dog parent, because this morning was very upsetting to me and my little guy, Howie.
He is around 11 lbs, closer to 12 if he’s soaking wet. A little shitzu-poodle mix, a tired old guy who is almost 10 years old, who only wants a nice walk to sniff everything he sees and a warm lap for napping. Food twice a day with a nice liver or blueberry treat finishes off his wish list, but all in all, a simple guy.
This morning we walked our usual mor...

The Power of Words
An old childhood friend recently sent me a message that made me think. Now mind you, I haven’t seen or talked to him in about 50 years, so we are talking about doing a deep dive in the way-back machine! But not too long ago, we became friends again on that magical time warp known as Facebook, which made the trip possible.
He reminded me of a time when my mother took all of us to a zoo, either Benson’s Animal Farm or Southwick’s Zoo since we eventually went to both. Our family had five kids, me...
