Life
This is me.
Security
Don't get too brave.
I want to be in the movies
Impostor or idol??
There's no privacy in this spa.
Catnip toothpaste--you should try it.
Hope Is The Thing With Feathers
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
What you staring at?
Simple pleasures
OOPS!!

Isn't she the cutest?
Trust? or Stupidity?
Don't put rawhide in your pocket
Falling down is the easy part. How do I get back to my warm cozy nest?
Yuk!

About Me
- karyn ruddick
- Vancouver, B.C., Canada
- I'm a retired teacher who was diagnosed with ALS during the summer of 2007. However, symptoms were evident from 2004. Presently, I'm in a wheel chair 24/7 and am slowly losing my speech. Although the disease has become more and more frustrating I've been able to keep my spirits up and enjoy almost every day. I love my apartment with it's gorgeous views and close proximity to shops. It was a smart move from my house on Burnaby Mountain. Care workers, family, and friends have been terrific at helping me traverse down this winding ALS road filled with challenges.
I do exercise--honest
I rarely make phone calls any more because of my ALS accent and voice fatigue.
Have confidence-- will travel.
This is my house and don't bother me.
Rainbows
In everyone's life there is a rainbow
Is this your cat? She was lost.
Eat it!
Who needs bunk beds?
Happiness is where you find it.
Do we have different Fathers?
I'm not going to the vet!
If you're going to do something--do it well.

Please shut-up!
Wherever you end up in life--hang on.
Before the snow
It's cold outside so keep on dancing
There are some things you can't fight.
Am I cute or what?
Say cheese
Get a coat like this for the cold winter expected.

A Wolf At the Table, a memoir by Augusten Burroughs
Don't bug me, I'm solving the world's problems.
Yikes!
Never look in the mirror before the first coffee.

Fuzzy friends
What we do for love!
Love thy neighbour
Aaah--nothing better than a back scratch
Striving has reward
Some things are timeless
We are family
You can make it when you have supporters
It's not tasty--but my owner is proud
Don't laugh or I'll post a picture of YOU in the bath.
Put'm up fuzzy

Who needs a Nanny?
Never feel insignificant
Wear shoes that get attention
I wonder if humans have feelings?
How come we don't have a reality show?
I'll play you a song. Click on my picture.
I'm on my way again
Go Canada Go!
Silly as usual
O.K., O.K., I'm really sorry
If we could only accept differences like she did
I love you too.
Too cute.

Freedom is what you feel
Why do I always end up in the middle of things?
Home is where you make it
In my day we walked 7 miles to school and rode our horses to McDonalds
Some days are just for snoozing
We all have fun in different ways.
Yow! It's a long way down!
Is it still raining?
My hair has grown!
I'm doing fine--except for this darn ear hair
Old ones are more willing to share
Love is where you find it
If you eat your greens, you could have ears like this too
He's my kind
They make me get 3 shots!
I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
Not me. I found it this way.
