The property in Arnold is unique. Wow, is that an understatement or what! Where else could I safely observe and study wildlife as I can here? But I also feel mentally and physically better! I experience a noticeable spike in creativity, and I’ve also noticed that Candy is physically stronger. Perhaps the high altitude, the …
The month of May has not been easy. I can’t seem to prevent myself from worrying about the health of everyone in my family. Luckily no one, young or old, has COVID-19, but the constant discussion on the cable news channels and social media seems to be messing with my mind. I am trying to …
May 1st is a special day; it is my Candy girl’s birthday. She is 14. Fourteen years of total love and devotion! I know I talked about my love for dogs in previous blogs, but I have to revisit it. All of my life, I’ve been around animals, but until Candy and Brandy came into …

One of the greatest gifts in life is true friendship, and that’s particularly true now, while we are all trying to deal with the new reality of COVID-19.
