Sadie
We went to Indiana to pick up our new dog from the dachshund rescue group. Her name is Sadie, and she's a black and tan miniature long-haired dachshund. She's 3 years old and weighs 8.5 pounds. She's the cuddliest little dog ever, but she sure has a big bark on her for a little dog! Sadie has dry eye, and her previous owners didn't bother to ( Read more... ) -
Nano
Once again, I'm trying Nanowrimo. (see www.nanowrimo.org) I'm going for 50000 words, but I don't guarantee that all of those words will be part of the same story arc. We shall see. My arthritic spine and four herniated disks are already feeling the effects of the colder weather, ( Read more... ) -
Raining Dogs
This story is the first part in possibly a series of snippets, posted in response to a Beginnings challenge.

Man-Eating Badgers?
I thought I may have dreamed hearing that the British government has categorically denied that British troops in Iraq released man-eating badgers into the area around Basra - it was just too weird. I mean, Badger is a character from The Wind in the Willows - a kind of cute, rotund creature who carries a walking stick and wears a tiny pair of ( Read more... ) -
After a Looong Absence
I realize that it's been a really long time since I wrote here, mostly due to health reasons. I've been lurking and following the comments regarding the recent "pedophilia" nonsense, and I'm still not sure I trust LJ/SA to tell the difference between Harry Potter fanfic/slashfic and true pedophilia - idiots! Anyway, more to come in the next few ( Read more... ) -

Comment on Voting
Others have expressed more eloquently than I ever could their disappointment in the "result" of the Nov. 2 election. Suffice it to say that I don't share the "moral values" of those who see nothing wrong with 1) killing innocent people who are already living, breathing human beings, 2) denying the state recognition of love and family status to ( Read more... ) -
Faith
Here's a story that just sort of popped out as the result of a chat with Ravyn - between two of our boys who never quite cooperate or do anything that we expect. Victor is one of Bell's cousins, another of the pantera boys, and Bat is Ravyn's boy, who is a fallen angel. And because Ravyn never got a story for Cindy's Ficathon, this is for her - ( Read more... ) -
Beads, Beads and More Beads
You can never have enough beads - I came to this conclusion years ago. Years before it was "popular". I really wish I'd had the money to open a bead store years ago, so that now I could ride the wave of popularity that bead shops are enjoying now. It seems like bead shops are popping up all over - 3 in my area, which didn't have any before ( Read more... )
