So it would be just the time to have some black cat fun and raise awareness that black cats are definitely NOT bad luck in any way. They are sometimes neglected at the shelter, due to superstitions that should be put to bed once and for all. In fact, when I open my bedroom door …

Birds! I am so proud of these new photos!

I was just outside in my backyard, cleaning and refilling our birdbath and watering the plants. When I was done, I got out my phone, so I could watch the birds and maybe get some photos. I was amply rewarded! The yard was full of Nuthatches, Juncos and some Chickadees, and these photos are taken …

Friday Funnies (?). The DemocRats in memes.

Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day

So here are some real and cartoon black cats who have crossed my path lately. Of course, the most important black cat in my life is the one who rules the roost at our house, and has both Hubby and me wrapped around her furry paw. The Lady Kikyo. She is 15 years old now, …

Did you know that people often make the wrong “climate choices”?

Yes, that is a real question. In fact, it's the headline of an article on the KOMO Web site. The article, specifically referencing dogs, is originally from the Associated Press. I am going to reprint that article here in its entirety, for the pleasure of my readers. Believe me, this will make you laugh out …
