Read MoreA Home-Alone Crafting BONANZA
I’m on holiday with a friend this week, volunteering at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and otherwise soaking in the stunning scenery of southwestern Utah (and a little bit of Las Vegas). Best Friends is a massive no-kill facility; we’ve met dogs rescued from hoarding situations, puppy mills and some surrendered by families who could no longer afford to care for them. You can follow along and learn more about the incredible work Best Friends does all over the world by following me on Twitter and Flickr. While I’m off playing with cats and dogs and bunnies, I thought...
Read MoreMeet Cleo. Properly.
Kids, my new iPhone takes video. And it, like, focuses. Thus I have entered the realm of people who take phone videos every day. Like, yesterday I filmed stuff for my next videoblog. But for now, I’d like you to properly meet Cleo. You’ve seen photos over the years, but you couldn’t possibly tell how funny she is from them. See, she talks like a Wookiee. (Yes. Using the command “wookiee” to make her speak would be like telling Chewbacca “dog” to make him bark. Whatever.) And she learned to go away all by herself. That’s because she was hyper as...

So when I got an email from Marshal Zeringue over at Coffee with a Canine, I was both psyched and skeptical. And now my wee interview about me and Cleo is up over there. If you flip back a few weeks on the blog you’ll see his interview with Charlaine Harris. So today I’m pleased with the status of my geek cred. Congratulations to me. He doesn’t seem to have comments enabled over there, so if you’re a dog lover and have something to say or ask, please...
Read MoreCleo = Found [formerly Help! Lost Dog]
UPDATE (8:20PM): We’re back from the vet, who cleared Cleo of any major injury. Phew! She’s a bit banged up, but given her day that’s hardly surprising. Around 3:30 this afternoon, my husband and brother-in-law tracked her to a location around 2 km north of where she ran off. She was about 200 metres above the highway, stuck fifteen feet up on a narrow ledge in the middle of a cliff. She whined when they called her, and they followed the sound. She’s clean and fed and has some anti-inflammatory medication in her, and she’s asleep on the rug with us, in front of...
