OM :: The Situation

My husband and I had a Parent-Teacher Conference with Eli’s Kindergarten teacher this week. We were curious about what his teacher would say in the meeting, not knowing what kind of student he would be. Not that he isn’t smart and curious, but he’s also stubborn, talkative and a rule-stretcher. Our oldest son, Abe, had… Continue Reading

Holiday Giveaway Hop for Pets

Welcome to the Holiday Giveaway Hop for Pets! I know there are quite a few blogs participating, so I’m happy you made it here to the dog blog. I don’t do many giveaways, but I like the idea of a pet blog hop, that it’s sponsored by our friends at blanketID AND it starts on… Continue Reading

52 Pick-Up :: Week 12

Week 12 :: I don’t often get truly surprised when I hike/run on familiar trails. I appreciate being outside and enjoying nature as much as possible and when I see something I’ve never seen before, it is remarkable. This shock of pink was so pretty, I used my cell phone to capture the image. I… Continue Reading

Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 12

When it’s cold outside, around 11 am, there is a place on the floor where the sun warms whatever is in its path. I like that to be me. A-Dog seems to like me here — I’m right at her feet and the sun mixes with my fur to create that lovely aroma of sleeping… Continue Reading

OM :: The Packaging

My moment this week is all about the packaging. I prepped the biggest amount of paper goods I’ve ever produced for the month-long Craftland show in Providence that starts at the end of this month. I thought I had made my plans well, but got run over by the packaging. In the end though, I’m… Continue Reading

OM :: The Grays and Greys

I have a problem. I haven’t kept it a secret, but it’s starting to get ridiculous. To maintain my *original* dark brown hair color, I need to dye my hair every three weeks, minimum. I’ve always done it myself with good results, but it really is becoming silly with its frequency. Plus, being a proponent… Continue Reading

I’ll Be Back

Just like Ahh-nald. I apologize for being somewhat MIA from the blog here. A-Dog has completely hogged the computer and I’m lucky to get a tweet or two in during the week. Anyhoo, she’s been busy getting all the holiday stuff ready. Check it out, if you have a moment, and like I said… I’ll… Continue Reading

Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 10

I have mentioned that autumn is a wonderful season for just the fact that I can dig in leaves. Digging is forbidden every other season of the year, but once the leaves hit the ground, my paws (and head) make the dive into sweet, earthy browns and golds. Title :: In Deep Continue Reading
