Welcome to project 365. This writer of ghost stories, mother of two, and wife to the Professor, aka "Ghost Hunk" (for 18 years), finds inspiration everyday, even if she sometimes forgets. So for the next year, I will document these little epiphanies, whether it's a bug on the windshield or some brilliant, breathless moment in this crazy life or something in between.

Day 263


My writing buddies... Danté and Peanut like to chill in my writing den while I work.  I kind of like it too!

Day 233


Don't be alarmed.  Despite appearances, Peanut and Danté are already the best of buddies.  And Danté is the gentlest sparring partner a girl could ask for.

Day 211 — Happy Halloween!


Ghost Daughter decided to be an Angel Bunny for Halloween this year.  A tribute to her recently deceased and forever beloved pet who left us in March.  What an interesting kid...

Day 196


DANTE'S RED RUBBER ELEPHANT

Anyone with kids is probably familiar with Rosemary Wells' wonderful MAX books.  Our dear Danté (the uber-dog) had a problem with the average squeak toy—it was history in about 10 minutes. Nothing but shreds of latex and a lonely naked squeaker.  So we finally found this awesome alternative at Petsmart a couple of years ago, and it is still going strong.  It's his favorite toy.  Just like Max's red rubber elephant, it can end up anywhere.  Tonight, he was hiding between the couch and the little end table.  What would we do without Danté's red rubber elephant?

One of today's purchases.  Yep, Angel Jr. is just getting a little too hard to catch...

Day 148


Whitman got his shave and is a happy dog again.  Who knew the mutt would match the decor?!

Day 139


Howdy, Tex

This little guy was found near death alongside a highway in Texas.  Thankfully, friends of a friend of a friend rescued him and brought him to Florida where he found a forever home with my best friend, Lisa.

Day 119


With the current heat index of 105º and still rising, our poor Netherland doe needs a break.  So she and the G. pig came in for a little time in the air-conditioned play pen.  I think she's shedding enough fur to make a whole new rabbit!

Day 76


It's time to READ TO THE LIBRARY DOGS!  Our wonderful local library hosted the Paws Patrol this afternoon and of course Ghost Daughter couldn't wait to read to a pup.  She chose Wild About Books by Judy Sierra and her new friend Buddy seemed to be just thrilled with the selection.  The the rest of the Paws Patrol—Happy Jack, Dewar, and Buster—and their handlers shared a love of a good story as well as some furry companionship with a very enthusiastic group of young readers.

Day 73


This extremely low-quality picture is here to explain Danté's completely spastic behavior.  He could hardly contain himself and absolutely had to go for a walk...the kind of whimpering, hanging on the leash sort of walk.  Then we saw it...the full (or nearly full) moon.  Aaahhhh...

Day 60

Good Dog, DAISY

Today we say goodbye to our sweet little rat terrier, Daisy.  She seemed to grow old all in a week.  We adopted her from the shelter when she was 6 months old, and 10 years later we have to let go.  She has been such a part of our family, the most loving and eager-to-please pup I've ever known.  We know that she had a rough start in life before we brought her home and hope that we gave her enough love to make up for it. Truman will be waiting for you on the other side, sweet girl.  We will miss you.
