He has no idea what is going on right now. He doesn’t know hours or time or much of anything really, except that his humans and bacon mean a lot to him. We are home with him MUCH more than we were before, except for his “dad”, who works from home anyway. He sleeps at…
This Dog
When we decided to get a dog back in the summer of 2014, I was completely on board. I wasn’t so sure about the puppy part but someone in this house at the time wanted THIS kind of dog for a long time, so we decided the best route to go was to get a…
Furry Friends & Netflix
We have the cutest dog. You can argue that point by saying that you have the cutest dog if you have a dog but I’m sorry, everyone in this family will dispute that since we know our dog is cuter. Sure, your dog is probably pretty cute. I know. Dogs are cute. But OUR dog is…
You CAN Teach a New Dog Old Tricks!
One afternoon last week it was just about cool enough to play outside. So I encouraged dragged all my boys (including the canine one) to come outside and play. We had received this wonderful KaBOOM! Go Out & Play backpack from Imagine Toys with all kinds of goodies, including a disc. And, we have…
5 Ways Having a Puppy is Like Having a Baby
1. They wake you up in the middle of the night (to pee). Thankfully there are no soaked-through diapers but still, I’m AWAKE now. 2. You talk “baby talk” to them. “Oh, hey wittle man, you are SO cute and I wove you so much! You have de softest erahs eva!” (okay, maybe not…
Hamster Bamster
What do a nine year-old boy (almost ten!) and a 4 year-old little girl have in common? Some majorly fierce love for the family hamster, that’s what. Y’all, this is seriously THE most loved-on hamster on the planet, I mean it. She has the opportunity to hang out in the horse barn… …and…
A little life lesson with a milkshake on the side
When The B Man turned 5 he got a dwarf hamster for his birthday. That was just a little over two years ago. Then the week or so before Easter (of this year) Tim and I started to notice that he/she (gender never determined) wasn’t doing so well and we’ve been on “hamster watch” ever since….
A Sugary B-day + A New Friend
So yesterday, my now five-year old started his day with whip cream and a candle on his pankcakes. Then he had frosted cookies to share at school. And for dessert? A VERY lop-sided giant cupcake. With green sprinkles. a.k.a The Leaning Tower of cupcake. It simply defies the laws of gravity, doesn’t it? Don’t worry,…
Missing: Small Greyish-Brown Puppy…
… that answers to the name “Wuffy.” First let me start by saying: We don’t have any “real” pets. The B Man would LOVE to have a pet. In the past he has mentioned anything from a mouse to a guinea pig to a dog. He wants one – any”one.”. But me and the hubs’…
The Story of How My Family Lied to me For Years
When I was growing up we had dogs. The first dog I remember (ok, don’t really remember him but have seen pictures, does that count?) was named Pepper and he was some sort of Dachshund mix. He died when I was three. Then we got Chester. He was a Beagle. Every.bit. a beagle. They bark…
