Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I’m sorry honey, but I’m not talking about you.  Although I am missing you very much. I’m talking about cows.  I grew up on a dairy farm and had been around cows my entire life before moving to Houston.  I’ve always considered myself a country girl and still do even though I’m stuck in the [...]

Friends at Last? Update!

Possibly… I’m talking about my fur-children, Hurley (dog) and Chief (cat).  Chief is about 2 and a half years old according to the people at the Houston SPCA.  Hurley is almost a year old, again-according to the people at the Houston SPCA.  I’m guessing that those are rather accurate, but give or take a few [...]
