Does anyone want our dogs? Or know anyone who might? The cats are available, too. But mainly, the dogs. I’m sort of serious – if we can find an appropriate environment for them, it would be better for all involved. They love tennis balls, rawhides, playing fetch, and long walks and runs. They can sit, [...]
Zoe is sleeping and has been for some time, yet I am wide awake – I never went back to sleep after her 3 AM feeding. I also only slept one of the three hours she took a nap yesterday, but my eyes were burning the whole time. What is wrong with this picture? New [...]
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 they got a trip [...]
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, [...]

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 was adorable. [...]
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 day. We [...]
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 about getting the house [...]
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 I can [...]
