My rug is not dead yet.

In fact, I think I heard it say it might go for a walk later.

Said to my rotten dog just now over breakfast:

"I'm only feeding you because it's against the law if I stop."

It was a lovely rug.

For the 2 months that we had it.
R.I.P. perfect rug. R.I.P.

Proof That We Can Garden

The freckle-footed bandit strikes again!

A few days ago I took my wedding ring off and set it on my nightstand because my fingers were a little bloaty. I kept forgetting to put it on and before I realized it, I had gone almost a week without wearing it. Today I went to go put it on and it was […]

The kit included this little netting thingie that's supposed to be for keeping the birds away from our strawberries. But […]

She’s all growed up.

When I came […]

Our puppy is a thief and escape artist.

Annabelle is quite the mischievous little booger. She's taken to stealing things like socks and shoes and placing them in random spots. Mind you, I've not found them chewed on, but they have been moved.
Today takes the cake, though. I went out back to call the dogs back inside and she was in the neighbor's […]

Annabelle, you’re lucky to be alive.

I took Annabelle into the vet today, and given the noise she was making, you'd think it was the doggie equivalent of Auschwitz. She whined the entire way to the vet's office, she whined the entire time she was in the vet's office, she yelped and cried when she got her shots, she howled on […]
