  Dog birthday

  02.07.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Today we celebrated Sarge’s and Chief’s birthdays. We’re pretty sure Sarge was born exactly a year ago today, but Chief’s is a tossup, since he was a shelter puppy. So we’re calling him five years old today. They’re mostly good dogs, and I’m happy to have them. For their special day [...]

  Where will Zoe go?

  Finding a comfortable sleeping position these last few weeks has been a challenge, but I have had some success with a combination of extra pillows, a husband, and pets; I consider the following to be optimal:

  Chief is back support, Joel aligns the hips, and pillow supports the belly. Sarge doesn’t do much for structure, [...]

  Though my lower back pain has reached an all-time high, I can remove one thing from my list of anxieties: Sarge around children. Yesterday we had our friends’ 10-month-old little girl at our house crawling on the [freshly steam-cleaned :)] floors, and Sarge got flat on the floor and crawled with her. It [...]

  I spent the day editing and creating things for this site, so take a look at the sidebar for new pet pages, if you’re interested.

  No doctor appointment for me or work for the hubby today due to icy roads. Hooray! While I was looking forward to hearing Zoe’s heart beat and finding out if she has gotten into a more deliverable position, I’m pretty happy to delay that nasty test and to have Joel home for another [...]

  Holiday fun

  Our trip to Garland was a really good time. We saw family and a few friends and kept it pretty low key, which is exactly what I wanted. The dogs behaved themselves for the most part - perhaps it was because they were given jobs:

  Now that we’re back, it’s all [...]

  Interviews!

  Perhaps due to a combination of great directions from friends and a bit of serendipity, I did not get lost at all while in Houston. As people who know me may recall, and much to the embarrassment of my husband, I am borderline retarded when it comes to reading a map. Well, actually [...]

  Le sigh. :)

  We’re a happy family again! My Joel is home and currently on leave until the end of the month. The trip back from Arizona was lovely and uneventful. We even got to stop in Fort Stockton to see my Aunt Nita. I hadn’t been to her house in almost 20 years. [...]

  Word of the Day

  For those who have had trouble, the picture links to today’s dictionary.com Word of the Day, obstreperous.
  But I wanted to update because I just got back from what is probably the most successful walk the dogs and I have ever had. This really is working, and I’m quite the proud mama.

  Quite nice

  I had another wonderful trip to Arizona. We are now under the one month mark until Joel comes home! I must say, if he had to be somewhere, that was a nice place for him to be. I certainly enjoy visiting. Unfortunately the med school in Tucson requires its students to [...]
