I wanted to stop by Pottery Barn after the appointment to look at a recliner. Anyway… I’m at the appointment. They were pretty busy, backed up from one of their employees being absent due to her mom passing away.…

Then 7 months or so later have to watch my mother, the woman who brought me into this world, carried my through this world in so many different ways. Who I miss more than life itself. I want to…
Had to take Duke to the vet today and didn’t realize just how old he is. He is 15 years old! That is crazy! But then again his dad was almost 20 when he passed so get it’s possible. He is starting to do the things Max was doing and then he will snap at you. I don’t know if the snapping at you is aggression or what but with the grandbabies, I don’t want…

I make sure to touch your urn every single day of my life.

I just did my first session of botox to try and relieve some issues caused by TMJ. I have ruined countless teeth because of it and need some relief. Unfortunately, I had to pay for it not our insurance since they keep giving my doctor issues in approving it. Nevertheless, we are going to see how this goes and if we can still get it approved I will be trying it again. Until then, I…

By Janice Reynolds, Guest Columnist One thing we need to keep in mind when discussing the so-called opioid epidemic is that people in acute pain are being persecuted and harmed, as well as those with persistent (chronic) pain.

My Soul hurts as today, June 14th 2025, marks one year since my Chewy has been gone. I know he isn’t hurting anymore. He isn’t suffering from the agressive cancer that ravaged his body, but it hurts so much that it is hard to even explain. His loss has changed me. I love dogs but it has left me no wanting to “fill that hole”. I hope those of you reading this understand what I…
