Ken and I aren’t like most folks. We have 19 dogs. We both work from home. We spend nearly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week together. It only makes sense that our marriage would have started off differently from most folks. Six years ago, Ken and I boarded a plane bound for...

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about a movie everyone needs to watch called Food, Inc. I’m sure you all scrambled to add it to your NetFlix queue. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really, really need to take the hour or so and educate your brain on the world of...

I try to stay out of craigslist – especially the pet section. The indifference and irresponsibility regularly encountered are maddening, to put it lightly. I popped in this morning to see if there was anything interesting listed under Sporting Goods (nope) and like a moth to the flame, I just couldn’t resist clicking over...

Have you given much thought about the food that sits on the shelf of your grocery store? If you’re like me, you probably haven’t – other than to know you that things like “organic,” “grain fed,” and “all natural” are good….high fructose corn syrup is probably bad.

Goals are good. Right? Hehehe…Of COURSE goals are good! You have to know what you want in order to attain it. I started 2009 with one goal: end the year weighing less than I started. And so far I’ve been successful. But, looking back I realize that I fell short of what I could...

Ken took the pup with him when he went to pick Quilty up at the vet (having her glucose monitored all day). Scanned and no microchip (big surprise). He stopped by the humane society on the way home to have them scan the pup “just in case” our vet missed it and to talk...

Yesterday we saw a smaller-ish fluffy black dog hanging out around our property…he finally came over to our fence around 3-4 pm. He seemed friendly, had a collar, no tag. We live in the country so not ultra unusual to see roaming dogs. The farm down the road sometimes gets new farm dogs and...

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband, Ken. My soul mate. My best friend. Perhaps the only person in the world who loves greyhounds as much or more than I do. I cherish every day of our journey together - joy and sorry, laughter and tears, highs and lows - you are the only person...

The last week or so have been really crazy…We brought home two new dogs and two others spayed and neutered. Work has been crazy. The stormy, rainy weather has left the yard a mess. So, I took the week off. I didn’t track my calories or exercise, though I was eating sensibly and more...

I’ve done nothing today. Literally. I had high hopes to do some organizing of the house. A little bit of cleaning. A nice hike at the park with some of the hounds. Then greyhound playgroup with some of the other hounds. Unfortunately, it decided to rain all day. Again.
Meh. I’ve already watched my recorded episodes of...

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion
