In Real Time

Exactly one year ago I was on the bed, in the bedroom, next to Mike, planning our next day while Blessing and Smudge, the two tiny Chihuahua’s 2lb 7oz and 3lb 3oz respectively – both full grown, although they will always be “the puppies” to me, played and took turns loving on their lucky parents. … Read more

Happy ? New Year

There are fewer than a handful of hours left in 2022. Good riddance to this awful hell. But there isn’t much “happy” in my world, I still don’t have my birds, and I still haven’t found an attorney with balls enough to help me get back my birds and stuff…Lisa too. It would be great … Read more

Losses
