Finn McCool is still in the hospital and still needs a few days of constant care. I was able to pay for the surgery and first day of care but they will discharge him if the rest is not paid. I've set up a Waggle fundraiser account which goes straight to the hospital. www.waggle.org/pet/Cat/ca-a...

I absolutely hate to do this, but Finn McCool is at the animal hospital and needs surgery. After my own emergency surgery in July and 6 week recovery - I am completely out of savings. Any help is so greatly appreciated. gofund.me/f48cdf525

I agree that more manufacturing needs to return to America. That said, if you want 'Made In America' arresting and deporting the people making those products in America might not be a good idea. Meanwhile these arrests haven't made a dent in the fentanyl supply on the streets.

I was busy at the farmers market and dog beach this weekend. I hear California collapsed while I was selling dog treats. I guess I missed it? This is what California looked like for me.

Still alive - just ALL in with business stuff these days. Now fully booked with markets and getting my products in shops! This is what I traded 30 years of broadcasting for. Even through rain, thunder, lightning and funnel clouds, my customers came to get their doggo treats! #SmallBusiness

As if I don't have enough worries these days - now I gotta worry about raccoons on meth.

It’s a balance these days, planning for worst-case scenarios and, at the same time, planning for the new business. Trying to be prepared and aware, but not let it destroy my mental health. Things that bring me joy: My growing book collection and my happy customers. A moment of zen.

I've only lived in #longbeachcalifornia for 10 months & the community support for this new business has been amazing from customers, vendors & business owners. Phenomenal community that I am proud to be a part of. #smallbusiness #goodpeople #happydogs #DoggoNiceDay #thankyou

Well, two days rest. I'll be back in the Kitchen on Thursday & Friday as I just got booked to provide the 'Doggie Bags' for this event. I'm not complaining, it's a great cause and honour! Each bag will have a sampler of our mini-pupcakes, peanut butter training treats, brownie bites & woofles!

Big storm rolling in and having trouble with my back. Bedrest & TENS unit for a couple days. I'll be back in the commercial kitchen Friday making the doggo treats. I don't mind the downtime, so many great books on my bookcase! Wrapping up Finbar's Hotel now - what to read next? #mylibrary

30 years of radio, promotions and remote broadcasting prepared me well for my new business. It's a lot of work in the kitchen, setting up and breaking down at events - but the customers make it all worth it!

We made our debut at the farmers market today! Lots of happy doggos in Long Beach tonight!

Part I of the latest haul from #thriftbooks . #weekendreading sorted. #whatareyoureading ?

I bought a used van the other day for the business from a dealer that specialises in alternative fuel vehicles (it runs on natural gas). 90% of the cars on the lot were Tesla. They said they have more in storage - they can't get rid of them.

I've caught myself 'doomscrolling' too much lately. Time to put down the electronics (including the kindle) and pick up more books. Also, carefully choosing where I spend my money. ThriftBooks is a wonderful alternative to the big A - this makes me happy about my purchases.

I've been doing this all wrong

This is the 7,500-year-old "Red-haired Goddess", in the National Museum, Belgrade. It was found near Odžaci, Serbia 😁

I love my kindle, but my biggest annoyance is the language being edited to "American English" from Hibernian and British English. When I'm in Ireland and the UK I pick up books at every stop so I can read them as they were intended. I'm still unpacking and finding books. Not sorry 😂🤓

Starting a business involves a lot of hurdles, but I'm always up for the challenge! The next hurdle is to send samples of every treat to the lab for analysis for nutrition and ingredient labels, and the department of agriculture for the permit to sell animal food. www.doggoniceday.com

Hi, I'm here now! I don't know how much time I'll have for this, but I'll give it a try.
