There are certain dogs that I like; my own of course (though I like him best when he’s sleeping) and a few other canine friends that I have made along the way. Why did I very reluctantly take on this huge responsibility? I did it for my … [Read more...]
Band of Brothers
One of the things that Campbell was most excited about as he entered grade 7 was learning to play an instrument other than the recorder or ukulele. He had his heart set on the alto saxophone.

FotoFriday – Farewell Fangs
This is yet another post about loose teeth and my total aversion to them and how seeing them makes me feel barfy and gross. This time it's not one of the kids.

The Forsaken

I really did.We got him before we had kids and my oldest, most loyal readers will remember that I used to devote posts to Rolo, filled with images of his furry antics and doggy t-shirts and photo shoots. Then, we had a baby and he got nudged down a few levels on the familial … [Read more...]
