Wagging My Tail Goodbye to the Pets Blog

I’m sitting in my office looking out the window watching the snow melt from the rooftops and bushes as I’m writing this. Last night we got measureable snow, a bit of an oddity in December for us here in Nashville. Whenever we get snow like this now I think about the first winter I was writing for Families.com. We got snow one February and I took Murph outside to play in it, then wrote about it as my blog for the day later. How much inspiration I’ve drawn from my pets over the past two years since I first began … Continue reading →

Are Your Pets on YouTube?

When Wayne bought me my new digital camera last Christmas, I knew it spelled trouble for Murphy, Mr. Meow and Tabby. Because not only could I take pictures without having to hassle with film anymore (which freed me to snap, snap, snap as many pics as I wanted), I could also take video. An Amateur Pet Film Maker Is Born I had such high hopes that I could capture Mr. Meow doing his maestro show on the air vent or the cats chasing each other, but so far no luck. I quickly found out what a tricky business capturing pets … Continue reading →

Winter’s the Best with Pets

Like much of the country, this week’s temperatures in Nashville have been very wintery indeed. Once upon a time I vowed never again to live in a climate that had winter. It could be a season in name only. (I grew up in Denver. I chose to go to college at the University of Arizona very much on purpose.

I lived in Tucson for five years, Phoenix for six, and Jacksonville, Florida, … Continue reading →

Snowballs, Snowmen, and a Dog Gone Wild

I hail from Denver and grew up with cold, snowy winters. My pup Murph, however, was born in the Sunshine State of Florida and grew up with mild winter weather. Late in 2005 we moved to Nashville, so last year was our first winter here. We saw a couple of snows that yielded about a half an inch or so each, but last Friday we woke to a blanket of almost two inches. Since I work from home and can set my own hours, I decided to take an extra long mid-morning break and take Murph outside to play. But … Continue reading →
