I'm hearing disabled. Most loud noises, birds singing, dog barking, sounds that are high-pitched are in my hearing range, although I can't always understand what the sound is or where it's coming from. I can understand most people if we are in a quiet place and they are standing close and facing...

That Ball Had to Die (photos taken at different times.) When I'm sitting in my wicker rocking chair on the deck, I use the lounge chair as a foot stool. Trav usually gets a tennis ball and places it on the end of the lounge chair. I used to give the ball a little kick with...

April and His Lady It was about 1977 and we had been in our semi-rural home for around a year. It was time to add another pet to our family of 3 dogs, and the 2 male Toulouse Geese that my husband called The Funny Brothers. I don't remember where, or how, but I soon acquired a China...

Me and my best friend, Manny.. "Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day."

Dan asked me a few months ago to write down my stories about my pets from over the years, so this "diary" is the perfect place for me. My right hand is being a pooper and I can't hold a pen/pencil very long, but typing is fine. I want to write about April and his Lady, but will not tonight...

I've already posted Trav's "pretty pics" in my album.. so here he is showing off his BIG mouth. He's a 9+ year old Giant Schnauzer and he loves his tennis balls, doesn't play tug, or with any other chew toys.. just his 50+ tennis balls. Every time I mow the field, I accidently hit one hiding in...

SeaBreeze, I had also told him that the next time I drive my car, I was taking it directly to the automotive repair shop and have it checked out. He's like his dad was. Always wanting to do their own repairs. Here's one of my favorite pics of Dan that I took about 6 years years ago when he was...

It's HOT outside today! Mowed half of the field and came inside to cool off for awhile. Tomorrow is volunteer work day so want to get as much done today as possible. Was thrilled to see new leaves over the young Catalpa tree that is planted over golden AJ's resting place. With the drought for...

Seeing another post about the writer's beloved Golden, got me to thinking about my last two Goldens. First photo is Bubba, our Free Spirit. Then there is Beautiful AJ. Next are my Bookends. Then there is AJ in the Mirror. Every morning when there is dew, frost or dust on the glass top...

Well, here I am and I think I reallllly like this Senior Forums web site! This has been a day of staying in my ratty ol'robe and not doing any work and just playing on the computer. My dog, Trav, was exhausted from having a super busy day yesterday and he slept from 10 last night until 330 this...

(Well, I think I posted this comment already, but don't have a clue where it went, so will try again.) I collect frogs, from frog jewelry, to figurines, to books, socks and tee shirts with frogs on them..just everything frogs.. Friends and family keep my collecting going. My favorites are the...

Greetings from north of San Francisco. I live in a semi-country setting that requires lots of yard work. I have a 9 yr old Giant Schnauzer named Travis, and 6 chickens, one of which is a rooster with two different names depending on his attitude : Tommy the Terrible and ChickenSoup. I volunteer...
