Can see this coming from a mile away

Tonight I attended an orientation for new Girl Scout troop leaders. I thought it would involve some construction paper ideas, handing me a pile of beanies and wishing me luck. Oh no. Oh NO. Starting a Girl Scout troop is like applying to vet school. There's reference checks, medical histories, asking for when I got my last tetanus shot...it's nuts. And the cookies. Oh, the cookies. Mandatory cookie training is December 11th. I'll let that sink in: mandatory cookie training. What have I ... Read more »

Behold your awesomeness

The Pawcurious Flickr group has gone gangbusters! I want to try and show off as many Halloween costumes as I can before the holiday but be sure to check out the group for the entire amazing collection. I tried to make sure I included at least one picture from everyone who submitted public photos. That's a good lookin bunch of pets you all have here I'm trying to decide if he is the dragon or is being eaten by the dragon. :D Plenty more behind the cut: ... Read more »

Picture of the Day

by

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 »

Picture of the week: Interloper

by

Rescued from our pool filter basket, where he was making a mighty attempt to swim out. Word on the street is that he is a San Bernadino ring-necked snake. There's not much a 6 inch non venomous snake can do to look menacing, but he stuck his tongue out and tried. Finding ourselves properly chastened, he was returned to the terra firma in the backyard. We sure do have a lot of critters around here. Yesterday we saw an orb spider the size of a golfball (and I'm only very slightly ... Read more »

Oh waiter…

by

I have been cooking and baking up a storm this Labor Day weekend. And why not? I got a huge box of produce from my CSA, I had some experiments to conduct with beets (the jury's still out on that one) and some healthy recipes I wanted to test on both kids and pups. I had a big pile of carrots to work with as well, and despite the blistering heat I had a bee in my bonnet to make carrot soup. Don't ask me why. It just sounded good. I have a ragtag collection of pots and pans, one of these, ... Read more »
