By Lif Strand | May 10, 2020 - 6:44 PM |May 10, 2020 Critters, Life with Lif
Comments Off on Rosie and me – settling in

Here it is nine months since Rosie came into my life and I am pleased to tell you I have nothing special to report about her.  As the weather gets warmer I do have to be more careful about letting her come with me on walks, given her compromised respiratory… Continue reading →

The Honeymoon’s Over

By Lif Strand | November 11, 2019 - 3:20 PM |March 14, 2020 Critters
1 Comment

It had to happen, of course.  The honeymoon always ends.  Life moves on and the fresh new relationship gradually transforms into an old familiar one.  Allowances for past traumas, habits, and reactions give way to impatience with behaviors based on the past.  It’s here and now — let’s get on… Continue reading →

Training Rosie

By Lif Strand | October 7, 2019 - 5:43 PM |November 11, 2019 Critters, Homesteading
Comments Off on Training Rosie

Rosie barked today.  Seriously barked, not just a passing woof.  A neighbor who had been moving some dirt with his tractor right outside the house was walking around on foot, assessing what he’d done and what he needed to do next.  He came close to the back door and for… Continue reading →

Comments Off on Normalizing

I didn’t know whether to laugh or scream when I came home the other day and found this.  Rosie had torn open a bag of plastic bags that was headed for recycling.  They were everywhere. Rosie first crouched down as if waiting for the blow that never came.  I did… Continue reading →

1 Comment

Just a quick report on Rosie’s veterinary visit today. She was such a good girl!  She had to be helped up and down stairs — she seems to not have had to deal with them before in her life — but did not squirm or object to being lifted.  She… Continue reading →
