Everything’s Relative

Four years ago we went to Disney and put our dogs in a kennel. I was a wreck and wept for hours. We just got back from leaving Quinn at Little Paws Pet Resort. I guess once you have to put a pet to sleep and know you’ll never see him again, having the other [...]

That Reminds Me…Animal Lovers….

I fully expect to get the usual comments about how people need the money and this is not a thing to worry about. That’s cool. I know there is a lot of demands on limited money in almost everyone’s household these days. With all the talk about the market jitters, folks don’t have a lot [...]

Shoes and Feet And Economics

I was reading the comments on a post over at Aunt B.’s and something just didn’t feel right. The post itself was about the current budget shortfall in Tennessee and the necessity for an income tax to make things right. Of course we all can just rest comfortably in the knowledge that I’m agin’ it. [...]
