Although I'm itching to paint the hallway and the bathroom, I've decided to put these tools away until fall when I have more time.

Rather than compose a 20,000 word dissertation and risk burning out your eyes, I decided to save all of us some time by putting together a twenty photo slideshow of what I’ve been up to for the past few weeks… Click on any of the pictures below to begin the show:

The Person I am NOT

After my experience with Harley, I saw dog trainers as shadowy figures in dark alleys. People to be treated with suspicion, to be avoided at all costs. Until… Enter Toby. Destructive. Disobedient. Devious. At times – down right disgusting. Yet still I resisted. Instead of bringing him to obedience school, I began buying books. Ones [...]

On Monday, I shared with you the photos from our time spent in PA… On Tuesday, it was hot out back here at home, so rather than walking the paved streets and putting the dogs into shock after just coming from the frigid Pennsylvania temperatures, Nick and I took them for a walk in OUR [...]

Hanging around waiting to do something fun. Don't tell, but Meadow once tried to chew the face off the blackbear footstool...!

Wondering why I haven’t been around blogland much lately? Because we high-tailed it out of here last week right after the holiday and headed up to the Pocono Mountains with three dogs in tow – leaving my computer behind. And after all we’ve been doing around here lately, it was a welcome escape. I must [...]

Wedding Dogs – A Book Review

I can’t believe it’s April already. The past few months dissapeared as fast as a piece of food left unattended in front of a hungry Labrador. Several weeks back, I was contacted by the marketing guy (as he calls himself) over at Quirk Books asking if I’d like to review one of their upcoming books called [...]
