Yesterday (3/8/12), when I got up I found Frosty nearly comatose on the futon on our enclosed porch. She had been sick in several places and was obviously in pain.
We gathered her up and rushed to the vet for the 7:30 opening. They took her right in and worked on her but her little Scottie...

Just like lots of other folks, my family has struggled over the last few years, and we’re not out of the woods yet.
Scott was laid off and my own business has suffered from the poor economy. For the Hooligans, Onslo was very ill in ‘09 and Frosty in ‘11. Thankfully they both pulled through, but,...

Recently, my fourth book for kids: Nurse Frosty and the Big Bingo Balooza was reviewed in King's River Life Magazine. A number of other children's books were reviewed as well to encourage books as holiday gifts. At the risk of tooting my own horn (AROOO!!), the others were simply not on my exalted...

What does Halloween mean to me, a Scottie lady of mature years?
Well, first of all it DOESN'T mean monsters at the door. Nope! Not gonna tolerate that. They say they come for candy, but you can bet they have a more nefarious scheme in mind, and as long as I'm on guard duty at the front door, they...

The AKC recently started a therapy dog recognition program. Naturally Mom had to jump right on it and submit my resume for membership. Can you say: Stage Mother?
Of course with my 9.5 years in therapy pet work, I was accepted without question. So, what did I get? I got a pretty cool AKC badge which...

The heat has eased off a bit here the last few days so we decided to head over to our local beach. I mean it's not the ocean, and we don't get to make a day of it and go out to lunch and stuff, but, hey, it's something to do on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
When we got there, we lucked out and found a...
