Retired teacher, secondary and college. Leftie. Union member. Lover of dogs and democracy. Recently diagnosed (fall ‘25) with early onset Alzheimer’s.
My neurologist recommended I do brain games, including puzzles. She didn’t know I recently replaced the tile in my dining room. New game: find the puzzle piece I dropped.
My beautiful mother in 1950. We lost her in 1986, at 53, from breast cancer.
Oregon coast chew sticks are the best! Cosmo (golden retriever, 12), Toffee (Australian shepherd, 4)
The perfect age! My golden sweetheart is 12 now. My first one passed at 6. I treasure every day with him. (Pic is from just yesterday)
Found deep in the university’s arboretum on a walk yesterday. A little reminder.
Cosmo, our 12 year old golden, rolling in celebration for yesterday’s rare bit of snow we got this year.
More pooches. Cosmo’s favorite activity: rolling in leaves, grass in all variations, sand, snow. Toffee rests after an active day of being a pain in the ass.
We’ve had very little snow this winter, but Cosmo just had to roll in the quickly disappearing snowfall yesterday
Cosmo and Toffee enjoying an off leash romp at the park outside of town.
Not like your gorgeous photo, but reminded me of one I took a couple of days ago. I took the second one(right), to remind myself how much I love the stage where the leaves just carpet everything in brilliant yellows and reds.
I always talk to my dogs and tell them the truth, in a sweet kindergarten-teacher voice, and if they don’t understand or ask me any questions, I consider that their problem
Cosmo and Toffee cooling off today after a hike on the local trail at Robinson Park.
My dogs, Cosmo (11 yr old golden retriever) and Toffee (3 yr old Australian shepherd), always my dogs
