Anyone who knows my dog will tell you that Juliette is incredibly sweet. They’ll also tell you that she’s a bit jumpy. We rescued her at six months old from a local humane society. In that short time she’d already suffered abuse and been slightly traumatized by it. Guys make […]
She won’t be happy
Whenever we take a trip, this one always gives me the brush-off upon our return. Like she’s telling me, “You know I hate it when you do that.” We’ll only be gone for a shade over 48 hours. And Aunt Laurel, the world’s greatest cat sitter, will be checking in […]
Note to self
It was probably not a good idea to throw the empty mini-marshmallow bag into the trash basket under the desk after you guiltily munched on the last three handfuls while working on a project. Especially when the bag contained some sticky bits that adhered to the inside. Especially when you […]
The agony of defeat

And he’s been increasingly concerned with his bodily functions in the past few days, repeatedly pointing out when […]

Juliette came to us at nearly six months old. She was found with a broken leg, which the foster family had mended up nicely so she was none the worse for wear. But we knew right away from her demeanor that she’d been through a tough first few months. Men […]
Now three members of our family have allergies
Our dear canine has been scratching, biting and licking herself crazily over the past couple of weeks. Today it was confirmed by our vet. Allergies. Well, I’m certainly glad it’s not fleas. But dog allergies aren’t as simple to treat as the type of allergies I have. With mine, I […]
Sweet cheeks
Backyard garden art I’m either a bad kid parent or a bad dog parent. As Juliette and I were strolling down the street today, I realized that I’m now calling her by the little nicknames I’ve collected for Devin. He’s my…peanut, pumpkin, sweetie, goober boy, bud-bud, and many more that […]
