A Tale of Two Birdies

May 9, 2011 by Dr. V

There is something strange that comes over you when you become a mother. I don't limit myself to the idea of giving birth as the only way to inherit the title- as we all know, being a parent comes in many forms. The act of accepting responsibility for another living being sets upon your shoulders a weight that, despite its heaviness, you could no more bear to shrug off than your own skin. We've all heard and seen remarkable stories of mothers in nature doing tremendous things in defense of ... Read more »

Wordless Wednesday: Housemates

March 30, 2011 by Dr. V

Well, I think I've established that I am incapable of doing a Wordless Wednesday without words. Can I just call it Wordy Wednesday and be done with it? Our home is at an age where everything is falling apart at regular intervals. Some pipe or another bursts in a 12 month cycle. Last year's was one in the slab.

I want a chicken

March 24, 2010 by Dr. V

You heard me. I totally want a chicken. I blame Dr. Crosby over at AboutVetMed for putting the idea in my head in the first place- I had said something to the effect of, "I don't do birds," and she said, "But what about chickens?" and I had to admit I had never really given the idea much thought because as she correctly surmised, by "birds" I meant "parrots and cockatiels." ...
