Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about rescues. I worked -- well, dabbled, really -- in cat rescue. I volunteered at the Humane Society when we lived in Austin. My friend had a very small cat rescue and I helped her with that, coming once a week to socialize all the cats/kittens, scooping, and helping out with fundraising things … Continue reading My Sophie’s Choice: TOLT
Thinking Out Loud Thursdays
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
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
Respect the court: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about those necessary evils, like going to the dentist and jury duty -- both of which fell together this past week. Lola almost had a play date I stopped to talk to my neighbor a couple of times this week while walking Lola. One of those times her dog was on a tie-out. Lola … Continue reading Respect the court: TOLT
What goes around comes around: TOLT
No big theme today, I'm back to Thinking Out Loud. Let's dive right in with Lola, shall we? Lola is driving me crazy She's such a sweet dog, she really is. But she came to us at 10 months old with no training whatsoever, after having lived in several homes. She is housetrained, but once in a blue … Continue reading What goes around comes around: TOLT
So what IS a healthy lifestyle?: TOLT
After my little "episode" with my Freihofers chocolate chip cookies (you can read more about it here), I'm Thinking Out Loud about healthy lifestyles, all or nothing thinking, and balance. A healthy lifestyle How people love to hate the phrase above. And I am not sure I have yet achieved a healthy lifestyle, despite Mr. Judy once wondering … Continue reading So what IS a healthy lifestyle?: TOLT
The long and winding road of CRJ: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about what I've learned, what I've gained, and some of the highlights of my first year blogging as Chocolaterunsjudy. Actually it's 364 days . . . tomorrow is my blogoversary. I'm going to run down a few stats from the blog, why I blog, and what I hope to do with the blog going … Continue reading The long and winding road of CRJ: TOLT
Zen Organizing: TOLT
Cleaning and organizing is front and center this week, which is pretty funny because I don't like to clean, and while I like things to be organized, they never seem to stay organized. I didn't think I was going to have much to Think Out Loud about this week, and then just a couple of days before this … Continue reading Zen Organizing: TOLT
Traveling trials & must haves: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about travel today, because May will be/has been a month of traveling. Mainely ticks We spent a lot of our time pulling ticks off of Lola (and killing a few just crawling around) while we were in Maine. Apparently Maine is much more infested than New York and the rest of New England. … Continue reading Traveling trials & must haves: TOLT
It’s not a half without some drama: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about my halfs today. Probably because I have one coming up in just a few days. I'd like to say I train well and then everything just goes smoothly on race day. There's no stress in training or during the race. And then I'd tell you I have this bridge to sell to … Continue reading It’s not a half without some drama: TOLT
