Stare at the mangled ball of meat, bone, possible intestine, and fur for a potentially unreasonable span of time. Turn on your barefoot heel and go back in the house. Grumble absently about how there isn't enough coffee in the world for this bullshit as you prepare your first cup. Ignore said body as much… Continue reading 13 things to do when you find a dead body on your deck at 8:30am.

Happy National Dog Day from Minerva and Ragnar
Shhhhh...just trying them on for size. https://videopress.com/v/sLYp1h7u?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Singing for her Chobani container. Or the music. Or because she's a weirdo.
Not a Real Post
Spring has finally sprung. All my herb pots are planted. Hummingbirds are back. And Minerva, who spent two days at daycare with Ragnar and 70 other dogs, smells like puppy shampoo and is ever so tired. I can’t move, mom. In 3 days they finished the feeder.
1, and a fAngus Review
Tomorrow is my last day in corporate work for about a year. That means it's snowing tonight for my commute in the morning (which on the best days takes 45 minutes), because that's how the universe works, right? Best things in life are worth the effort. Next week is spring break: we'll see how far… Continue reading 1, and a fAngus Review
Seasons Greetings from The In-Between
Sauna steam: outside air is below zero Fahrenheit and inside is about 140. 100% the best present SK and I got ourselves this year (besides wedding rings, of course). Not to be confused with The Upside Down: there are no Gormegons here, but there is a horde of D&D players in this household, so it… Continue reading Seasons Greetings from The In-Between
A Feline Drama in 4 Parts
Warning: contains naked cat belly. It's just an evening bath. Nothing to see here. It's FINE. We're all fine. NO I'M NOT WEARING PANTS. Don't you people keep saying pants are bullshit in this house? (To Butterfle): WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? BRING ME SOLO AND THE WOOKIE! You all suck. There's no privacy here at… Continue reading A Feline Drama in 4 Parts
fAngus Update and Vacation
I've been busy doing as much NOTHING as possible, so I'm remiss on updating the status of fAngus's recovery. The torture continues for him, although just before vacation he was able to drop off the awful antibiotic (the one that could burn a hole in his esophagus if he didn't eat immediately after and make… Continue reading fAngus Update and Vacation
fAngus’s Unexpected ER Adventure
Last Thursday in the middle of an extremely busy work day (including a go-live of a software product my team has been working on for a long time), I was interrupted by a cat who skittered across the kitchen floor at a dead run, yowling. It sounds funny, but fAngus only yowls when he's in… Continue reading fAngus’s Unexpected ER Adventure
Wildlife Here is Determined to Drive Me Nuts in the best ways
First, let me just say now that I'm moved into the house (on five acres across from a golf course): I did NOT realize how die-hard some folk are about their golf game. As I write this it's a whopping 37 degrees Fahrenheit and alternating between rain and sleet. Yet there are multiple groups of… Continue reading Wildlife Here is Determined to Drive Me Nuts in the best ways
In Case My Nose Disappears Overnight
Today's post has some hunting death and some realities of owning predators as pets that I know not everyone enjoys. If you're squeamish, please feel free to skip this post. fAngus and I have come to an agreement of sorts regarding his serial-killing proclivities, in no small part due to my houseguests being willing to… Continue reading In Case My Nose Disappears Overnight
