More about Ollie

I feel the need to keep writing about Ollie to record and remember what an amazing dog he was. When we first got Ollie, we lived in the Dee-Luxe apartment in the sky which was on the 8th floor. WM…

Beware the Dogs of March.

Ollie and Murphy on my yoga mat.

Actually, you don’t need to beware. They’re pretty friendly and snuggly. Ollie and Murphy are absolute pleasures to have around. And they are ALWAYS around Ollie has had a coughing issue off and on for a year now. The cough…

Ollie, January 2021

Ollie, 13.5, continues to do very well despite being an Old Pupper beset with typical Old Pupper problems. I really just wanted an excuse to share this photo: Which is just adorable and needed to be documented.

Friday 5 and Happy Birthday Murphy

Today this noble knob turns 4. In his 4th year, Murphy learned compassion. If one of us is sick or blue, Murphy is RIGHT THERE. Lying on top of our chests when we’re burning with fever. Licking our faces as…

Popcorn, Please!

Murphy and Ollie looking upward

I have created not one, but two popcorn-loving monsters. This is my view while carrying a bowl of freshly-popped popcorn to my desk. Ollie’s vision is not good, but his nose knows exactly where the bowl is. Because this is…

Ollie, Summer 2020

After about a month and a half of trying to manage Ollie’s cough, it turns out he has seasonal allergies. One Zyrtec (actual, human Zyrtec) with his dinner each night is enough to bring the cough mostly into check AND…

Previously… I need to start closing the door all the way.

Love Your Pet day?

Yes, it’s a real-ish holiday. Like, shouldn’t that be every day? But, any excuse for pet pics I suppose. Ollie is 11 years old now and after a pretty crummy year medically, has rallied quite well. Lately, Murphy goes outside…

Life with Dogs

I’m pretty sure anyone with a dog or cat has been here… It took Ollie 10 years to learn to nudge a door open so I’ll let him have his victory.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
