Off for my girls’ annual week in Vegas. Going during Holy Week and Passover guarantees cheap rooms and lots of seats at the penny slots. Yea for agnostics and atheists!
The benefit of Donald Trump as president
He could make that thing on his head vice president and we’d save an entire salary.
Getting ready for Vegas
Let the panic about leaving my animals with a new sitter begin now!
Ted Cruz for president
Remember when the crazies were the fringe candidates and not mainstream. Ah memories…
Senate Republicans waste their time and our money on useless budget
Despite getting every immunization known to man and recommended for people of a certain age, I came down with a nasty bug and spent most of last week rewriting my will and deciding that life was not worth living if it included feeling so awful. Then I woke up one day and decided that maybe I did want to live. That morning the world seemed sunny and bright.

Iditarod musher Allie Zirkle agreed to take on California lawyer Grace Jiu in an arm wrestling contest in Nome shortly after completing this year’s race.

Poor Carm
Ever since BuddaBubba crossed the Rainbow Bridge he’s been even more anxious about me not leaving him. Usually he loves doggie day care and runs to the back room the minute I bring him in to the facility.

And when you lose your canine friend, they wrap you in such fierce love and understanding that it helps the pain subside more quickly than you could have possibly imagined. Thank you to everyone who let me know they understood how much of a loss it is when that sweet face is no longer in your life.
