Valentine’s Day is approaching, and puppy love is in the air. Around this time, six years ago, we adopted our dog, Sueshi, when she was just a puppy. She is the love of my life, and I have never for a moment regretted adopting her, although I still have a couple of pairs of favorite […]
As you probably heard this week, the groundhog saw his shadow, which according to legend means six more weeks of winter. Those of us living in Southern California, where spring is beginning to bloom, may not care so much. But for people, like my son, living in New England where temperatures dipped to single digits […]
One thing I love about Southern California is the winter. The mild sunny days are perfect for outdoor adventures, and what better way to appreciate the outdoors than with our pets? My dog Sueshi enjoys an evening stroll along the Arroyo not far from our home. As an added bonus, I get to watch the […]
As you may have noticed, in recent years we have had a proliferation of national days of appreciation and recognition. National Ice Cream Day, celebrated the third Sunday in July, happens to be one of my favorites. Of course, there are many animal- and pet-related national days, and I love those, too. Did you know […]
Animal welfare lost a huge supporter recently with the passing of beloved actress Betty White, an avid animal rights activist. She was especially devoted to dogs and was a particular fan of golden retrievers. A nationwide effort is afoot to recognize Betty White’s love of animals on what would have been her 100th birthday, Jan. […]
In the 32 years my husband and I have been married, I have only once asked for jewelry as a gift. For our 25th anniversary, I received a pair of diamond stud earrings. I love them because they go with everything and make my life easier. I never have to decide in the morning […]
My new year’s resolution is usually the same each year…lose weight. This past year, my goal was to lose 21 pounds in 2021. While I didn’t hit the goal, I did manage to drop 15 pounds, which was better than previous years when my weight and waist kept inching up. Part of my success this past year was due to […]
It is a gift for us at Pasadena Humane when adopters follow up to let us know the power of the bond with their pets. In the spirit of the holiday, I’d like to share one of those gifts with you. Bright-eyed Walter originally came to Pasadena Humane in late 2015 as part of a […]
This past weekend, my sister Laura “adopted” a kitten who had been found outdoors. As she was searching for the perfect name, I was happy to help with some ideas appropriate to the season. Rudy was rejected, since it sounds too much like Rooney, her dog’s name. Nick, Frosty and Jingle didn’t seem to fit […]
After being sick with COVID last Thanksgiving, my 2020 holiday season gift-giving was lackluster, at best. This year, I was so eager to get back into the swing of things, I didn’t wait for December. I decided to give presents at Thanksgiving instead. I absolutely love choosing gifts and imagining the pleasure of the recipient […]
