With five dogs in the city sometimes it's not so easy to get them all walked every day... who am I kidding? I never get them all walked every day. So when the early morning rolls around and dogs are moving - it's time to get them outside quickly. …

The perfect aww moment. I never thought I would see the day that my son would make it through a full-length day and not have a meltdown well today was the day. He sat perfectly for six hours of training and had the time of his life as a matter of fact it was so good we got resistance when it was time to leave but even then we were able to transition without much problems. One happy mama here.

I’ve only been marginally paying attention to the European horse meat scandal probably because it just didn’t seem like it would really affect me.

Because after that, i let Rio doze away on my lap while i relax and watch abit of tele.

I don't know how it happens, but you go from an almost empty house to a home filled with toys. It seems like it happens over night. There was nothing to now stepping on toys on every step. Our house is like a minefield. I keep cleaning and putting them away and they keep resurfacing with unimaginable speed. I have put on a veto on buying new toys, but they still seem to sneak into our domain.

But who doesn't like toys and how can there ever be enough. I like playing with them and…

Lately, with all that's happened with my dad's health situation, I've been more than appreciative of the AMAZING ability of both dogs and kids to just somehow know when you need a great big ol' hug.  Click over to my blog to see what I mean:  …

Our weekend started off with a de-skunkification of our home and our dog Duke.  Though the house smells a lot better, there is still a hint of stench in the air, especially in our bedroom, where our little friend hid under the bed.

It started Friday morning when Brian took…

After yet another long week, I've once again put together a list of interesting discoveries I've made along the way.  This one includes the realization that I really should've left an apology note at the car wash the other morning.  Click over to my blog for the whole list:…

DON'T DO IT. Look away from the kitty too!

As you well know, it's been a week that ended with unspeakable tragedy, and my heart has been very heavy for all the innocent little victims and families affected by the shootings in Connecticut.  But I hope that my list of things I've learned lately can bring a much needed…
