Wednesday’s Video: Gigi the Dog in Action

November 8, 2017 by WendyB

After Gigi the dog left us last week, I mused to my sister, Terri Berry, that Gigi was more like a person than a dog. “Moody and opinionated?” Terri asked. For a split second, I wondered if she was talking about Gigi in particular or making a sweeping statement about humanity. I didn’t ask for…

RIP, Gigi the Dog

October 31, 2017 by WendyB

The ancient Celts believed that the boundaries between our world and the spirit world were more easily crossed on the festival day now known as Halloween. That’s why I chose this date to help Gigi the dog make her transition. I felt that at Gigi’s advanced age of 16, she deserved an especially easy journey….

What We Wore: Halloween 2017

October 30, 2017 by WendyB

I celebrated Halloween on Saturday by going to Videology Bar & Cinema in Brooklyn for a screening of the 1980 movie The Shining. MrB had never seen it before! Now I’m wondering what the hell he was thinking all these years whenever he came across pop culture references to “Redrum.” I dressed as one of…

Throwback Thursday: Gigi the Dog Is Sweet 16

October 19, 2017 by WendyB

Gigi the dog turned sweet 16 this month! We’re not sure exactly what day her birthday is — we got her in February 2003 as a rescue when she was 18 months old — but October 18 keeps popping up in my mind, so let’s pretend she turned 16 yesterday. Naturally, we celebrated with a…

Edward the Dog or Edward the Porg?

October 17, 2017 by WendyB

Happy adoptaversary to Edward the dog! It’s been a mostly enjoyable two years of cuteness and mischief. However, I’ve recently come to suspect he’s not a dog at all. Based on the trailer for The Last Jedi, it appears he may be a porg. Behold! Just found out my dog is really a porg. #starwars…
