What's this all about?
Fun. Serious is so much fun to live with, I wanted to
share it.
Fun. I like playing around with graphics, web design and words. The Art of Being Serious let me do all those things.
And just a little wistful thought at the back of my mind -- maybe some person who sees this site will think about animals with a more open mind. Pay closer attention. See more clearly that the animals who share our world do truly think, feel, love, fear, imagine, worry, plan... and absolutely deserve our loving, intelligent, honorable best. And our open minds!

Serious's Mom
As Serious's Mom, I'm always busy even when I'm "relaxing."
I must keep
Lids available, and
Feathers hidden,
and be prepared for Serious Pets whenever necessary. (Not to
mention being on
Paper Patrol 24 hours a day.)
Otherwise, I do computer stuff, and design stuff, and listen to mockingbirds whenever possible.
I love being a cat mom. Maybe I'll adopt a friend for my Serious in the future, but right now she's very happy being a solo cat. (And I confess to enjoying the unusual perks of having a cat who's never learned such traditional cat hobbies as climbing screens and drapes and bookshelves, or exploring closet shelves.)
Two cat friends curled up together and sleeping in the sun is a beautiful thing, though, and one day both she and I will be ready for our Third Half.
I think dogs are pretty darn cool, too. I've been an Aunt to several beloved and spectacular dogs -- an honor and a delight!
I'm not sure, though, that I have the moral fiber to be a responsible dog mom myself. You have to walk your dog in the RAIN -- picking up poop has never been a favorite pastime of mine -- and I doubt I am consistent enough to train a dog to do anything at all, except to be the boss of me.
I didn't have to train Serious to be my boss! Madam CheerPerson figured it out all by herself about 5 minutes after she moved in...
