The Meetup :: July 2010
What a month it has been! If you only stop by here once a month, I will fill you in. My 79-year-old dad had a heart attack and then a triple bypass. He is home now and healing well, but I am still his main errand-runner, laundry washer and general worker bee. I’ve been care-taking… Continue Reading

Anatomy of a Bark
I am the author today on Scout’s blog to give my perspective on when our girl started barking. Scout did not bark for the first nine months of her life. We were amazed by her silence. Even as a puppy, she was a very quiet dog. She did a little whimpering her first night with… Continue Reading
