You can’t keep a “good” dog down

by Kathi D on January 27, 2009

Keeping the pups “quiet” post-surgery has been a bit challenging. Sometimes it works.

Other times, not so much.

I heard an odd noise from the kitchen, which turned out to be the top of the butter dish being nosed off. I am not quite sure how he got there. The chairs were pushed in.
If only he would [...]

How we got this way

by Kathi D on December 5, 2008

We learned in our puppy classes that no matter what problem behavior our dogs exhibit, if we search their environment and background, we can find what caused it.
Dogs are a lot like people that way.
My friend Susan has more clothes than anybody I know. Even though her closets are bursting at the seams, she usually [...]

Thanksgiving the Right Way

by Kathi D on November 27, 2008

The return of chaos

by Kathi D on July 15, 2008

Dang it! That Karen! She tagged me for this thing and as I have said more than once or twice, she has contacts in prison so she frightens me. Although I don’t see what’s so bad about wearing glasses, and anyway, couldn’t they have gotten those contacts sent back by now? But I digress. I’m [...]

You need to get a refill on your Diet Coke and maybe queue up a couple more, because this feels like it’s going to be a long story. Every bit of it is true. Quentin Tarantino Himself couldn’t make this stuff up.

I spent the first quarter of my life wishing that my mother [...]
