Bandit has not worked out. At all. And yet right now, he's still living with us.Thankfully I have a lot of friends who know a lot of other people involved in dog rescue, and I am working really, really hard to get the word out about Bandit and save his life. Literally. I don't want … Continue reading Sadly, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 7/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Dog eat dog world: TOLT
Well, let's hope it's not a dog eat dog world -- not literally, that is. Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about dogs, again. Last week's TOLT was a hint I talked about adopting an older dog last week -- would you do it? Why wouldn't you? I knew I was meeting an older dog for a possible adoption … Continue reading Dog eat dog world: TOLT
Juxtaposition: Searching for Connection
Juxtaposition: the act of contrasting two things by placing them side by side. I find myself calling Bandit, our new dog, Chester a lot. I never called Lola Chester; not since he's been gone, anyway. I think I did the whole going through every furkid's name til you get to the right one thing while … Continue reading Juxtaposition: Searching for Connection
How Running is Like a New Dog
Today's topic was absolutely perfect for me -- how to choose your races. I put a lot of thought into choosing my halfs, and I will write about that someday, but my life got hijacked by a Bandit this weekend, in case you didn't see the Weekly Wrap. It's already turned me back into a … Continue reading How Running is Like a New Dog
What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Doesn't everyone adopt a new dog the night before a race? Well, we don't know if we've really adopted him. If we don't think it's a match, I guess we'll be fostering. But much to my surprise we have two dogs again at the moment. And oh yeah, I ran four times this week. I'm … Continue reading What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Could we lose the cell phones sometimes?
Over some tea I might actually tell you that it's been far too long since I've been out for afternoon tea. On the other hand, I have a few pesky pounds I'd like to lose this summer, so maybe that's a good thing. I don't do iced tea, by the way. But I am joining … Continue reading Could we lose the cell phones sometimes?
5 Ways I Shake Up Fitness in the Summer
I am active year round, but I won't lie, it just seems easier to be more active in the summer: longer days, warmer days, lighter clothes. Sometimes during the winter it just seems so hard to be changing into and out of fitness clothes, and as much as I love my fitness clothes, they just … Continue reading 5 Ways I Shake Up Fitness in the Summer
Cats & Dogs, Living Together: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about cats, dogs (what's new, right?) and trying to find a beach vacation that's close to home. And a few other truly random things. Lola sure enjoyed our charity walk! Lola has been acting strange I touched on it briefly last week, but she has stopped going out in the mornings. She won't go out until … Continue reading Cats & Dogs, Living Together: TOLT
Delirious: let’s go crazy!
One defintion of delirious: Very excited I think Mr. Judy would tell you that when it comes to registering for a half marathon, I tend to get a little delirious. In fact, I'm usually not happy unless I'm registered for the next half before I've even run the half I'm training for at present. You … Continue reading Delirious: let’s go crazy!
The Dark Side of Blogging
It's so easy to get sucked into the dark side. We all start out with good intentions -- we find things we love, and we want to share what we love with other people. And maybe we want to make a little money, too, because who couldn't use a little extra change? Bloggers really can … Continue reading The Dark Side of Blogging
