I don't want to be one of those weird, conspiracy theory people. I can hear you now saying . . too late! You already are one of those people but things have just been weird lately. First, this isn't lately and it's funny. I've told it here before. My uncle had a Chihuahua. I can't remember the whole story but I know Bandit had a pretty serious heart condition. I think he was supposed to be a ...
Rita Pictures
For those who requested photos, here are some that I pulled from the blog. I will try to keep these in order as best as I can. This first picture was taken within a few days of us catching her. You can see from her ears, she wasn't totally comfortable being held. I had seen her in the driveway, called her and she ran away from me. I left food and water out and told Vince I had seen a ...
Stitching Progress on And God Saw
As mentioned yesterday, I'm working on And God Saw and this is going to be kinda my tribute to Rita. If you missed that post, you can read it here.

Yesterday morning, with the light of day, it was ...

You may have noticed that there were a couple of people who were razzing me weekly about not showing pictures of Rita or talking about her and she felt like we weren't giving Rita enough attention. She was relentless. I ...
A New Start to Honor Rita
Thank you all for the comments. I haven't read them. Yesterday I was a wimp all day. I went over to a neighbor's yesterday evening to share some of my veggies I had started from seeds. She shares hers with me every year. It seems that the seeds I started this year either ALL germinated and grew like crazy or none of them ever sprouted. I had to buy bell pepper and jalapeno pepper plants but I had ...
Rita
This is a sad post but I feel like many of you have followed us on the journey with Rita and I wanted to share this. A couple of weeks ago, she started walking in circles . . for 15 or 20 minutes, almost spinning in circles. I would hold her and think maybe she had gotten herself dizzy and just didn't know how to "fix" it. She's never liked to be held and within a couple of minutes, if that ...
