A cold and stormy spring has been
Our legacy this year
Inclimate from west to east
From Halifax to here
My baby puppy raised in rain
Is content to play inside
My younger girl’s insane to run
When Environment Canada lied
But my old grey veteran is sad
Summer has not begun
My sweet old man just simply wants
Me to turn on the Sun
Another cloudy [...]

Okay, so I’m on Facebook. Me and most of the rest of the world. Facebook allows you to keep in touch with people you know and select to be your “friends”. I’m apparently not very popular, cuz I only have 105 “friends”, most of whom I barely know, but that’s okay.
You can also become “fans” [...]

It will be a quiet day at Jenn And The City. Wednesday is house-cleaning day. And drawing day. And I may try to market some more articles. I need to find rocks for my herb garden and get the herbs in, as well as put in sunflowers and my wildflower garden.

A quiet, pleasant, domestic sort [...]

Jenn and the City will be here shortly.  Okay, we’re still learning WordPress, but my good friend Beth has managed to get the formatting of the site up and running.  I just need to fill in the content.  How hard can this be?

I’m not a mommy, remember? Blogged about that previously. However, yesterday I spent the day at home with the “kids”. Three dogs, two cats, and a goldfish. I cleaned up one “accident” (on the carpet), one cup of spilled coffee (on the carpet), two regurgitated blobs of grass and rawhide (on the carpet). I rescued [...]

I’m SO disappointed. I cannot go nude hiking in the Swiss Alps anymore. One used to be able to do so, apparently a popular activity with German tourists, but the politically correct and clothing-obsessed Swiss have put a ki-bosh on the activity. These are the same people who brought us fine chocolate, first-class time-keeping devices, [...]

Because I am whippet racing in Canada. Or, more accurately, the Tara-rizer is training to race, Morgan the Bold is enjoying some bonding time with his litter-brother, Cruz, and I am line-judging the race meet. Nikeinstein stayed home with Rob.
And, as usual, Environment Canada lied again. It’s been bleeping cold. Yesterday afternoon did manage to [...]

It has come to my attention that y-chromosome blessed humans enjoy a peculiar sense of humor when it comes to what we shall call “bodily functions”.

I envy this. I really do. Can you imagine how delightful the world would be if every fart cracked you up? Or to be so fortuitous as to be [...]

I’ve always needed underwire bras. And I hate them. Lets face it sisters; bras aren’t exactly winning any comfort awards regardless of construction, and adding a support wire contrived of what suspiciously looks like piano wire doesn’t help. Later in life, when I started test-driving for Victoria’s Secret I still required underwires, but since my [...]

I’m sorry, but Karisma has the second cutest puppy on the planet….
