hold yer horses, woman

So far being pregnant feels pretty darn good. Well, the first trimester was… unpleasant. Pleasant in that I was excited to be pregnant, but unpleasant in that morning sickenss sucks. Did you know that morning sickness can go on ALL DAY LONG. Yeah, it can. Way to go naming it morning sickness, y’all. I was [...]

tattle tail

I was out for a lovely afternoon walk with the dogs a couple days ago. It was shaping up to pretty much be a perfect walk. It was warm and sunny, and the dogs were trotting along behind me like they were some kind of saints/someone else’s dogs. And then I felt someone purposefully walking [...]

the bicycle thief (but not depressing at all)

I brought Mickey along to meet the GoPetFriendly folk. It was stinking hot so we found some steps in the shade to perch on and drank root beer iced tea (awesome, you have to try it), while Mickey stared off in the distance contemplating important things… probably.

following

Kayloo is a follower. She will follow old dogs and young dogs, big dogs… the only small dog I’ve seen her follow is Mickey. Here she is following Elle. She also likes to follow children. Little ones often leave Cheerios in their footsteps and with their squeals and never ending supply of toys, tots are endlessly [...]

awesome beach

I think we can all agree that the beach is awesome.

tall grass and loving it

If there is tall grass where we take the dogs for their walk, John likes to hide behind the highest stalks. And wait. The dogs love it. Kayloo generally forgets about the game long before she’s found him and just starts tearing around in circles in the excitement of it all. She’s not sure what [...]

3/4 of a family photo

A shot of me and my dogs on one of the very few warm days we’ve had lately. As you can see by the flappy tongues, it was very hot. It’s pretty impressive that we’re all looking at the camera, isn’t it? Especially me. As much as I would like to pretend my pups are photographic [...]

weepy tree

The weather around these parts has been absolute crap of late. Sweater-and-jeans freezing, I kid you not. Yes, I live in Canada, but this kind of thing is NOT supposed to happen where I live. We are the Goldilocks of the North: not too hot, not too cold… juuuust right. But not for the last [...]

not at my best

John and I took the dogs to the park the other day. They were being a nightmare. That, however, does not even BEGIN to explain how crap-tastic the excursion was or the fact that the shittiness of the whole deal was completely exacerbated by the fact that I am a crazy person. We get there and I [...]

high alert

Kayloo and Mickey on high alert just in case some jack hole squirrel should dare enter the sanctum of our chill out spot. Mickey is in the highly controversial Broken Tail Stance (is his tail really broken or is he merely lulling his victims into a false sense of security? Oh the trickery) and Kayloo [...]
