Congratulations to the winner, Melanie! If you didn't see my Sunday post, I'm trying to post daily reader pics of pets in costumes from now until Halloween. If you haven't uploaded yours yet, I have a group over at Flickr (non-Halloween pictures are welcome too!) That is also where I will have participants upload their pictures for the 12 Days of Petmas, which I will be doing again this year because it was so much fun last time around. If you don't have a costume for your pet, there's ... Read more »

Picture of the Day
Over the weekend, I asked if anyone wanted to add some pictures to my sad little Flickr group to make it a happy place- and you came out in force! In return I thought I would share a picture a day, now through Halloween, of your dogs in costumes. If I have enough interest (and pictures) I'll make this a regular feature! (That will let me include those non costume pictures too.) So to kick us off, the Super Starlet herself! ... Read more »

We will sit nicely but only if you promise great rewards. For Brody, liver treats will do the trick. In ... Read more »
When Irish eyes are smilin’
Did you know Emmett's original name was Seamus? He was a right red lad, that he was. And each day, Brody looks more and more like him. I wouldn't have chosen that- in fact I was pretty clear I did NOT want that- but now that he's here, I wouldn't have it any other way. And trust me, that little leprechaun is an Irish rogue through and through. So in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I will once again impose upon you with my bad poetry skills. Limericks, of course. Remember, there is no such ... Read more »
We’re ready- are you?
Brody heard me talking about "Thanksgiving GI upsets" in one breath and "early starts" in another, so he decided to go ahead a day early and greet me with a wee bit of explosive diarrhea of indeterminate origin this morning. And this without a single bite of turkey skin or cheese. Keep the bird up high, y'all. And have a great day! ... Read more »
