You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
ferries.

Animal census 7/25/2019:
Poppi - male Chihuahua Dachshund mix from Mission Viejo Animal Shelter. Internet calls them Chi-Weenies, we call him wonderful!
Luna - female Bichon Frise (we believe) who joined us 9/25/15. She's sooo different than the other dogs it's comic. 10 pounds of...well, something!
Dot - Dalmatian. Oh my Lord! Did we know what we were getting into?! I think not! Being so much younger it's been a bit of an issue. Poppi plays with her (kind of), and Luna can't freaking stand her and screams if she comes near. We just need to hold on until she grows up. I think...
Lost Xiao Hong on Monday, 11/21/11, poor little red-headed boy. He's going to be missed greatly.
Lost Pywacket (profile pic) the Monday after Christmas 2011. She's the one who started it all and although never very social, she's left a big hole in the household.
Lost Bob on 4/16/15: Had been ill for some time and was ready to go, but is still missed.
Lost Gracie on 8/4/15: Missing our BunnyButt.
Lost Mogwai on 7/9/19; while I was out of town, miss her.
Lost Dude on 7/24/19; the last of our feline friends. My heart is broken by his passing.
Princess passed the day after Christmas 2023. Poor little scruffy dog, she's sorely missed.
Memorable quotes:
"We are only showing them the net, we are not being their wings."
- Vihnode, dwarf driver "A Son of the Circus" by John Irving
"There is so much to grieve over in our world that it would be pointless to grieve over ancient wrongs."
- Tally, museum cleaning woman "The Murder Room" by P. D. James
"Anne didn't think twice about the 'if she lost' part. She was a red-head, which is a blonde with poor impulse control."
- "Courting Trouble" by Lisa Scottoline
**International shipping**
I am unable to ship international because my local PO substation doesn't do international (or take checks or credit cards for that matter). I regret that any international shipping requests will have to be declined until my situation changes.
