Ah, summer! Doesn’t it seem like 5 minutes ago we were cursing the cold? And 5 minutes before that, weren’t we melting in last summer’s heat? I took this photo while John and I were sitting on a bench after walking with the dogs for about 2 hours. It was sublime. I can appreciate that [...]

There is a chance this girl is a bit of a backseat driver. Uh hu. Not as bad as this guy (that is a link to a picture of my backseat driver of a husband), holyohmygod I could not handle two of them! When I am driving John acts like I am distracting HIM if, heaven [...]

So! It’s Take Your Dog to Work Day AND it’s my birthday today! What a darn great day! In all honesty, I actually took my dogs to daycare today. Basically I am 100% of the way celebrating Take Your Pup to Work Day incorrectly. But I work from home so really my dogs come to [...]

During our anniversary hike we came across a creek. And much to Kayloo’s intense chagrin, the only way to get across that creek was over a long, perfectly trustworthly albeit wobbly suspension bridge. Mickey hunkered down and did his best to flatten his tiny body against the foot boards. With the help of wild hand clapping and [...]

John and I are both Canadian but we met in Holland almost 6 years ago. On Canada Day. At the Canadian Ambassador’s Residence. The whole thing happened in the Land of Clogs and Cheese but it really couldn’t have been more Canadian. While I was in Holland I was working for a Canadian company and [...]

I took this on the way to pick the dogs up from doggie daycare the other day. I have absolutely no idea what “original conformity” means. Is that, like, the very first act of conformity? Or conformity with a splash of original? I’m not cool enough for this stuff. I’m also not able to pull [...]

… soaking in some rays. This is what Mickey does all day. Flops out on the concrete. Gets hot and comes back into the house. Cools off. Heads back out to the deck to bake… and back again. Rough life he has. Here is on the deck again… and again!

I bought this bottle of wine because it had a cute little anatomically correct bull taking a swig on the label. “Antonio the Bull, kissed this wine and he fell in love. Now he runs around the world and offers this wine to you.” Too funny. Also, the cap has little hearts on it and [...]

Getting a brush. Not into it. At all. We could make another dog with the hair this girl sheds. So we don’t care if she approves of the experience. Somehow Kayloo manages to survive the indignity of another brush.
