It’s been a tough couple of months. People have been asking how we’re doing with the advent of the dog flu. It’s been rough, I have to be honest. We were lucky. We had no one sick; we saw no symptoms   We never had to close our doors, as many places did. While we tried to keep you informed, we …

It was about 12 years ago that I had my first kidney stone. It was 3:00 am in the morning, I started getting nauseous and feeling the most excruciating pain. I knew I had to get to the hospital so I started on my way. I live on the second floor and as I made my way, I fell down …

I don’t know about you but the world today sometimes terrorizes me. It seems like everyday we’re hearing about, reading about or learning about something that we should be worried about. The evening news is filled with fires, deaths, muggings or murders. The morning news is equally depressing. I watch it only to see the weather and 9 out of …

On March 1, 2015 Rex’s Place will celebrate our 5th anniversary. We opened our doors on March 1, 2010. It doesn’t seem that long ago and yet so many things have changed. I always dreamed of owning my own business but many of them fail in the first year. We’re still here. Besides location, location, location, just how have we …

It just happened again. Rex, Seaquel and I were walking down the street. Seaquel is still young enough that she gets excited at anything that moves. She’s also knows she’s a good-looking dog. (Did I tell you she’s smart?) So we’re walking down the street, Seaquel sees someone she knows and he calls her. She get’s excited and starts running. …

Are we done yet? People that really know me, will wonder about this question. The fact is, I suffer from seasonal dysfunction so the summer is my “thriving” time. But I’m ready for August to be done. Do you feel the same? The month started out all right but then things started to happen. I started having some pain in …

Sometimes the biggest surprises come when you least expect them. And I have to admit – I am SURPRISED. So puppy comes home (Seaquel for those of you that don’t know) and she is beyond adorable. Within two hours, while standing in Happy Husky Bakery, Rex let her know he was the boss. She ran away whimpering and I thought …

I’m scared. Seven years ago, I brought Rex home and he changed my life. He was my rock during several years of struggle and, now, everything is starting to come together. My life, although different than I’d planned, is returning. I can breathe a little, where I couldn’t before. So why, I ask myself, am I looking to shake things …

According to the dictionary – Summer is “a period of fruition, fulfillment, happiness, or beauty.”
Winter is “a period of time characterized by coldness, misery, barrenness, or death.” Well that pretty much sums it up, don’t you think? Having lived in this area since I was 2 years old, I’m used to the winter. Not my favorite time of year but …

I don’t know about you, but I’m one who has never understood the rush to celebrate New Years Eve. I don’t get it. When asked what I was going to be doing, I had a simple answer: sleeping. I don’t want to see Ryan Seacrest (now I”m really aging myself – it used to be Dick Clark). I’m not interested …
