Go Daddy’s Superbowl Commercial: What were they thinking?

January 27, 2015 by Ogee

Originally posted on The Blessing of Animal Companions:
I don’t share a lot of petitions, but this Super Bowl commercial from Go Daddy simply appalled me on so many levels. Take a look, and sign if you feel so moved! I think they were trying to mock all the Super Bowl commercials featuring puppies, but they must be completely unaware of issues in animal welfare. Big miss.

Worth Working For

January 25, 2015 by Ogee

Now begins the time when every day turns up another treasure – a hint of how the garden will take shape this year. Lots of people appreciate the final result, but a gardener takes pleasure in watching each step that unfolds from their labor. Now I know, a refuge never grows from a chin in the hand and a thoughtful pose Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose. ~ Indigo Girls It’s a cliché – and it’s true […]

Walk With Me: II

January 22, 2015 by Ogee

My work commute is an hour drive each way. Not fun. The good news is that it puts me out of town and within walking distance of tucked away walking trails filled with old oaks, small ponds and flocks of birds. Walk with me through some protected trails in Roseville, CA. Fifty years ago, there was nothing here but miles of oak trees. A suburban city sprouted, but someone had the foresight to set aside designated open space – areas […]

Catching Up

January 18, 2015 by Ogee

For those of you suffering through snow and ice, let me catch you up on our Northern California garden! The Narcissus arrived – a bit early thanks to all that water in December (and woefully, none in January). The roses took a final bow following a brief freeze… and let us know that their time had come. January is the month for pruning roses In Northern California. By my count, there are 41 of them in the garden proper with […]

Moving from human to kind

January 11, 2015 by Ogee

In a world that has seemingly gone mad, you would be forgiven for wondering if an effort like rescue is trivial in comparison to the headlines these days. But it’s not. There are lessons here. It’s not just the hundreds of dogs that we rescue each year through our own effort at Homeward Bound – but the untold number of rescuers, advocates and angels all over the globe working together for a common good. It’s not just the dogs saved, […]
