For a couple of years now, I’ve heard of the dangers of dogs and paper shredders. Owners forget to turn them off or they’re not paying attention as the dog wanders in to see what they’re up to. Viola! Dog’s tongue ends up in the paper shredder!
I’m sure there are many owners who don’t even [...]

Now the sun’s rising earlier and setting later and Memorial Day has kicked off the summer season, chances are you and your dog are enjoying more time outdoors. Longer hikes, camping, more Frisbee, more swimming are probably among the list of activities.
Remember, just like we can suffer pains and strains from being a Weekend Warrior [...]

On Friday afternoon, Tringa & I were scheduled to go to school so the boys could read to us. Early Friday morning I got an e-mail from the teacher we work with saying he had completely forgotten about the yearbook signing party. It was scheduled during our reading time. He suggested we cancel.
Little did he [...]

This may explain yesterday’s now blank YouTube post about H$US.
A TV report based in fact and actually interviewing one of the H$US’s own lobbyist has been taken down and removed from everywhere it had been posted. Like it never even happened.

It’s been seven days since Ky left us. Seven days of trying to find a new way without him by my side. Seven days of re-discovering exactly how deeply woven he was (and still is) into my life and livelihood.

Less than 48 hours after letting Ky go, Tringa & I were in the school parking lot. She was waiting for me to get her dream catcher and medicine bag attached to her collar. Her Dad, Cowboy, sent it to her via special messenger at Nationals. In other words, Cowboy’s mom, Dorothy couldn’t make it [...]
