This page will feature stories, thoughts and/or videos that I think are valuable to read or see. They may be my own stories or works, found on the path of my many interests. They may, or may not be, Ruff Cuts related but may include many situations that have been influenced by scenerios in the Ruff Cuts arena. If you recognize yourself in any of these expressions, be complimented. Animal lovers tend to be quirky and we’ve come to appreciate all of our clients with all of their quirks. Let’s live, laugh and learn.

We present a topic for the day and then read related sections of the text or workbook. Ample time is allowed for questions and discussion. Although the Course is a self-study curriculum, opportunities to discuss the Course with others can be helpful as we apply it in our daily lives.

Below are pictures of my dogs, cat and tortoises. I have four Norwegian Buhunds (from left: Sophie, Kenzi, Grendel & Kiva), a Shiba Inu (on right: Kodi) and Mavis the Cat. I also have two Sulcata Tortoises that each weigh approximately 40lbs and don’t have names. If anyone has suggestions for names (besides The Slowski’s) I’d really appreciate it.

An update: Unfortunately, I lost one of the tortoises a few days after Thanksgiving of 2011. He’d been acting strangely for the cold season, which was probably an indicator that something was wrong. The remaining tortoise is weighing approximately 65 pounds and seems to be happy and healthy. I’ve read that they are not really social animals except during mating season. He should be just fine as the only tortoise in my household. I think I’ll call him Toddy. The deceased tortoise was named Todd, posthumously. by my friend Barb.
