I’m sitting alone in my Mom’s house. Not totally alone – thankfully I made the decision to bring my amazing friends – furbabies – spirits – Bella and Jo – I’d be more than a little bit unglued if they weren’t here. But it’s all wrong nonetheless. It’s wrong being here without my Mom. The [...]

*My* Mother’s Day
Posted in All Things Dogs, Kiddos, My Canine Girls, My Feline Girls, Pyrfect, Snarkalicious, The Babies, tagged cats, dogs, Mother's Day on May 13, 2009 | 3 Comments »
This was sent to me by a good friend who also has doggies and kitties. Yes I’ve not conceived and born human children into this world, nor am I raising future politicians or doctors or writers. And people that don’t know me well (or at all) have judged me for that – and looked on me [...]
Hello Old Friend
Posted in Living in the Moment, My Canine Girls, My Green Thumb on April 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s been a long time and I’ve missed you. I’ve been busy with work, life, fundraiser planning (for Sip and Tuck), mom, yard, house etc. I’ve wanted to come back several times, but I’ve not had much spare time. On top of that, I had the realization over the weekend that one of the reasons [...]
My Annual Public Service Announcement

Here comes my annual lecture, uh, public service announcement about getting/giving puppies/dogs for Christmas. Most of these things are common sense, but bear repeating especially given the release of Marley and Me this holiday – after which even though Marley is ill-behaved people will be rushing out for new lab puppies I’m sure. And while [...]
My Dog Ate My Seatbelt

It finally happened. After however many months of driving around sans seatbelt, I got pulled over on Saturday. I don’t not wear my seatbelt to be cool or out of laziness. My dog ate it. Bella more specifically ate it. Seriously. That is no joke. It no longer works. I’m also not one of these [...]
Being a Good Canine Citizen

JB and I informally started working on getting her CGC designation about 2 weeks ago. What might you ask is a Canine Good Citizen and why does it matter? It’s an AKC-sponsored award that dogs can earn via a testand is an important step to take if you would ever like your dog to be a [...]
Good Dog Not So Good

As a quick aside, I’m working on another blog that I hope will be a one-stop information portal for all things dog safety – I’m not an expert but am looking to try and develop a collection of good, reliable resources. The idea’s been percolating for awhile – it struck me when I was unable [...]

It hit me after I arrived home yesterday that Charley Bear is gone. I found out midday he was getting adopted by an incredible forever mom and didn’t really process it then as I was mid-workday and preoccupied. Bella and Jobear still have been a bit mopey – though a healthy dose of daycare yesterday [...]
Because It’s Funny

And because I’m 12 sometimes.
Email conversation from earlier:
Me: Here are some fun pics from Jobear’s bday party. The one of you and Bruin is SO cute
Brigitte: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww—my bru-bru! There is one of me that should be destroyed—I look like a drunk marionette! Blech!!!!!
Me: What exactly does a drunk marionette look like? And might I remind you [...]

Been quite a busy few weeks – that combined with the summer doldrums are not motivating me to post. I took a technology break over the weekend – no PC, Internets, laptop, blog posting and/or reading. It was nice. So here’s what’s been going on – in no particular order of importance and in list [...]
