The Radio Show

 Yesterday evening right after the brief evening news at 6:00pm on radio station WBTNAM   1370 on the dial, and streaming live on the station's website, WBTNAM.org,  Jon Katz introduced his new show, Katz on Dogs.  I would hail it as a success even though the word has not yet gotten out.  Those who called had good topics and the e-mails Jon received gave him lots to talk about.  I was excited to be a part of it, talking about Edgar, my newly adopted deaf dog.  If any of you heard the program or have been reading my blog, you may know I would love to hear from anyone with experience in training hearing impaired dogs.  My e-mail address is story_teller_34@yahoo.com.

This is a wonderful way for all pet people to share info and thoughts and stories.  As social distancing and isolation become a way of life for us now, this program can make neighbors and friends of those both near and far---very far as the live streaming goes international!  I know how much I enjoyed participating in rally training groups, and teaching agility to a group of dog owners.  After classes the humans sat around and chatted while the dogs had free time to play.  It WAS my social life.  Getting together now through Jon's radio show could bring us pet people close again.

Let's support this small local radio station so it can thrive.

Support with a dollar or two if you can, but definitely with your phone in calls and/or e-mails to Jon.  He has his info on his website :  Bedlam Farm Journal Blog

Today I set out on a new adventure.  I only wonder why I waited so long?  I am 84 years old. Widowed, mother of four children of whom I am very proud.  Grandmother of four bright grandchildren making their mark in this confusing world of today.  Great Grandmother of two charming little boys. I am a retired Veterinary Technician-a job I hated becoming too old to participate in.  I was a licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator in the state of New York.  Farmer's daughter (dairy farm in Vermont) 4-her and later a 4-H leader when my children were of age to be members.. I am the author of one book , One Dog Night, published last year and currently available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or through your local bookstore.  I have been writing since I was 10 years old. I have had animals around me all my life -cows, goats, horses, hens..-always a dog and a cat. With me now are Hannah, an 11 year old Brittany and Susie, a 6 year old  female kitty. In this blog I will write about my life with

The Praying mantis

I believe I had mentioned  seeing a wee Praying mantis on my porch earlier.  They do grow so rapidly!  Or at least I think what I am seeing now is the same one I rescued not that long ago, guiding him (or her) off the cement platform into the garden. A week ago, Edgar was staring intently at something in the grass.  At first I did not see what he was finding so fascinating, as the grass was in need of mowing and the well camoflaged  creature was himself so green.  There he was, "my" Praying mantis, now a "teen-ager", standing tall among the blades of grass with his hands folded in prayer before him. Edgar edged forward, sniffing at the small insect, ever so gently.  This boistrous, pouncing dog of mine!  As he eased forward, nose working, he barely touched the miniature triangular head.  SWISH -one tiny hand swept forward, slapping Edgar right on the end of his nose.  Edgar jumped back, startled.  His curiosity was not dissuaded though, so he stretched his neck forw

Fairy Parasols

I am realizing just how much I missed during those "dog-less" months when I did not sit on my porch.  Every day when sitting out there with Edgar I see something new and wonderful.   I do wish I could learn how to take pictures with my phone camera and send them to my computer so I could download them to the blog.  I take lots of pictures and know how to text them to someone's phone, but being so technically challenged, I simply have not figured out what I need to do in order to post photos. I will try  reading the instructions once again to see if I can make heads or tails of them. Anyway, ---a few days ago I saw the tiniest Praying Mantis yet.  It was so wee I thought it was a smidgeon of the newly mowed grass which had blown up onto the cement platform.  Even Edgar did not see it, and he misses nothing!  Then the little arms came up into praying hands and the tiny triangular head turned towards me and I recognized the bright green for what he was.  Afraid Edgar might s
