  • Eating Crow. More Help Needed.

    I’m freaking out a bit. I start with that. I just took Bella to the dog park. I took Em too. (The calm one. Six people there, four dogs.) Things were going well and then Bella got a bit crazy, started running in circles. Fairly normal, or so I was told by a kind man…

  • Puppy Bites. Help?

    I need your help, dog people. Living with Bella has been great. Things are going really well with the potty training, walks, routine. She is a sweet dog. There are a few things I could use help with, however. I know I should probably hire a dog trainer or something, but money is a bit…

  • Bella’s First Roadtrip

    We’re heading to Jersey tomorrow for the weekend, taking the dog. My parents are tickled pink about having the dog visit! OK, not really. But they like to see their grandkids, so I didn’t give them much of a choice. Anyway, we’re driving. It’s not a long trip, tops two hours. What do I need…

  • Bella

    This is Bella. Bella is 8 months old, maybe a year. She’s a corgi/terrier mix (they think). She’s a shelter dog. We’ve been fostering her for the last couple of days, wondering if we want a dog, wondering if she could get along with our cats. Tomorrow we have to decide if we want to…

  • Yes, Somebody Really Is Selling a Diamond-Encrusted Pacifier.

    One of the things I miss most about working in an office are those reply-all email threads that morph into something entirely different. Is there a term for this sort of thing yet? There should be. Basically, someone sends out a relatively mundane email. Someone responds with something witty or whatever. And things kind of…

  • I Have No Shame.

    You know how some bloggers only post attractive pictures of themselves? NOT THIS BLOGGER! Check this out: OK! So I had to buy this for a few reasons: One: The socks. Two: Age 2. Three: The bags under my eyes are growing increasingly more envious of my double-chin. I just needed proof. I have it…

  • Help Me Stop Thinking About This.

    I have been blogging long enough to know to avoid such issues, and I do normally bite my tongue. But this time I’m having trouble. And it’s none of my business. I know this. Yet I can’t stop thinking about it. Yesterday a blogger (who I had never heard of before) was brought to my…

  • Joe Paterno 1926 – 2012

    I was running when I heard the news. And so then I was running and crying. I feel terrible for Joe Paterno and everything that has happened to him over the last three months. I’m going to quote my husband: “So sad for JoePa. There aren’t many like him – inside or outside of football.…

    I finally did it, y’all. I made a bacon lollipop. It’s called Rise and Shine! It’s made with bacon bits. Come stop by!
