I have been trying to think of a way to write about this adventure without making it seem like we are the kind of people who have portraits made of their dogs. Unfortunately, we are that kind of people, and there’s no way to sugarcoat it. That’s how we ended up in San Francisco a [...]

Except for being verrrrrrry sleepy, Brooklyn and Barkley survived their surgeries intact. No, wait, I guess not intact. But they are doing fine. As hard as it was on us to get them both “done” at once, it sure helps to keep them quiet when they are both sleeping off anesthesia. I heard Bonnie telling [...]

I come from a long line of Irish worriers. We always expect the worst and we never trust the best, because something bad is waiting just around the next corner. If you have this kind of heritage, you have to drink a lot (Hello, Irish!) or develop good denial skills. Having tried both, I am [...]
