This entire site is under construction.
I designed it working with a resolution of 800 by 600,
partly because my vision is rather poor.
But if I succeed properly with fluid layouts, they should look good regardless of your resolution.

This is my personal web site. I have - and plan - no other.
My mission here is to share with you my ways of seeing: whimsical, fun, and sometimes serious, but always with whimsy, for healthy perspective.
I enjoy writing tongue-in-cheek, and I leave it to you to discover what on this site is tongue-in-cheek.
Dogs in particular are a large part of my life. I hold the same values for them as I do for any other living creature.
I have a life-long passion for communication, whether with animals or humans.
I believe in paying attention to what life is all about: living to the best of our capabilities.
Not very long ago, I learned that web designers often use fake Latin text to put in while designing sites. That way, they don't have to type a whole bunch of text, and they can see how text to be put in later will behave on the page.
Well, I ask you, why bother with fake Latin? Why not real Latin: Pig Latin, for instance?
IgPay atinLay eemsSay eryVay aturalNay otay eMay.
And then there's that other fake language I heard for the first time when I was in high school. It had three syllables to every one in English, and it had a lovely bubbly sound to it, and when finally I learned to speak it, I was utterly enchanted. It was so much fun to speak it, or would that be, to sing it? Almost.
But wrack my brains as I might, I can't remember how it works.
Believe it or not, for you youngsters (anybody under 60), I think it's called oogly-googly. Does anybody know what it is, or how to speak it? If you do, please leave me a comment on the Feedback page.
Or, if you prefer, you may
but to make sure you reach me, send it in plain text without any attachments.
Thanks!

Any pun intended
The Guestbook is under construction, so at the moment, it's very simple and limited.
I'd be delighted if you would care to sign the Guestbook
Continuing my efforts to change the layout, I'm having some success, though I need to fix various details before my new columns layouts will really work properly.
At least I now have a glimmering of some kind of success to come.
But expect changes only when you see them, because I'm not sure how long it will take me to put the changes in order.
I'm continuing work on layout, and learning every day.
You won't see the results of my learnings for some time, though, because there are so many different aspects I have to be able to understand before I can put them together. But really, I AM learning, so one day, things will suddenly change in appearance.
When IS One Day?
You expect me to know that?
HAHAHA!
Our domain is registered, a year, today, from the day Graleta5, the machine that makes all this possible, came winging its way from Angel Donor to Our House. Our paws are tired from typing, but taking turns helps. We're still working on layout.
When Mum gets too confused, we go burrow in blankets, pillows, bedcovers, and make sure they get all tangled up, so Mum has to leave Graleta5 for a time. That lets her brain settle a bit. Then she has to take us out in the Garden for a while. Gets her a bit of fresh air. Or sometimes, rain.
We are, of course, perfectly coherent dogs, but we doubt her coherence as a human at times. She does best when she thinks she's a parrot, and parrots people's code.
Give her time; give her time, more of it with us, please.
Despite its registration, our site still isn't officially open. If you're here, it's by our catal and dogal invitations, or because Mum asked for help.
Welcome, anyway, from your cat and dog leaders, Prancy, Kwali and Kumbi.
Sorry about that! We do plan to fix it for Internet Explorer; Mum just needs to learn how.
We could, though, recommend you download and try out our very favorite browser, Opera. You can find it at:
Lots of cats and dogs like Firefox, which you can find at
Firefox will probably be easier to use for humans who have never used any browser other than Internet Explorer. You might like it so much you stay with it! There are advantages to using Opera or Firefox. These browsers are not particularly subject to attack by the people who invent ways to put spyware and other nasty things on your machine.
Also, both these browsers offer what is called "tabbed browsing," which means you can switch very fast between one web site and another while you're browsing.
If you want to see how Mum is thinking about layout. you can look at the Layout sketch we made for her.
The layout on this site continues to be very experimental.
We hope you have a good time exploring here anyway!
We validate all pages with W3C before putting them up, so your browsers should not break!
