The (Occasional) Daily Dog
For Love of Chair Now that I read the morning paper at the dining room table like a) a normal person b) a person of leisure, Ciara has taken to joining me on a nearby chair. Largely, I sense, because my leftover food sits waiting for the sink and she's hoping to get involved before…

She's got legs Am I the only one who thinks my dog's legs, crossed daintily in the back as she gnaws on a rawhide chew up front, are the most adorable/funniest things in the world? Probably. They won't make it on Cute Overload, I'm sure, but they're just darlin' to me.
Read MoreReview: The Great Cupcake Pan
The Great Cupcake Pan Had me a slice o' cupcake tonight. Now, that's not being overly frugal or diet-conscious. Thanks to Williams-Sonoma's Great Cupcake Pan, the entire world I knew before this weekend has been completely upended. On the one hand, cupcakes are meant to be small. Portable. Snacky. On the other, for cupcake freaks…
Read MoreShave and a haircut, too hot
Arrr, she is a fine tradition we have here in Jackson Heights: The cutting of the hair of the dog. Just in time for the temps to hit 100, Ciara got herself all shaved off on Friday after almost a year without a groom. (I know, I know, but it's more than I pay for…

I have quadrupled (maybe more) my YouTube content. This be Ciara my crazy, sock-lovin’ cairn. I’ve got a few other shorties up there now, too, just click over here. Looking to pare down my extensive video collection to include some of my favorite clips over the next few weeks, just to contribute to the collective…

I've been working on a Dia de los Muertos skull pinata for Saturday's party. It's a paper mache thing, and it's still got the balloon inside keeping it filled, so I dangle it upside down while it's drying from the latest coat of gluewater. Ciara has finally taken notice. Ciara Meets The Skull You can't…

Read MoreAll good things
A lovely, perfect day on the isle of Manhattan. A lovely, perfect day that was a wee bit windy, so all the seed pouches flew from the trees making beige-colored snow against the blue, blue sky. Here's what's great about good things coming together at once: I left my cell phone at home. Since I…
Read MoreFeed me!
Ciara, probably hungry This has already been crossposted among two of my neighborhood friends (on LiveJournal) but I just don't care. It's spot on. (Not written by moi, by the way.) Dog: I am starving.Me: Actually, no. You aren't starving. You get two very good meals a day. And treats. And Best Beloved fed you…

Dead Soldiers Thing I did not expect to be doing this evening: Cleaning egg off of the ceiling fan. I'll save you a lot of time, in case you were thinking of experimenting: If you leave eggs to boil and don't come back for an hour, they will look like this. I left mine for…
