Today just wasn’t a photogenic day, compounded by the fact that I only had my cell phone.  My camera is somewhere within 5 feet of me - of that I am positive, but I can’t seem to be able to put my eyes on it.

But I got home after a not-exactly-grueling day with some seriously adorable preschoolers, took a nap, and decided I was ready for a snack.  ( Read more... )

Is Carmen.  Sure, both the cats think he is the bees knees, but Carmen has decided that the dog belongs to her - not us, but her.  (Mind you, I can’t convince either one that the dog did not magically appear the day they arrived for their comfort and entertainment as it is.)

For quite some time, if the dog is around either Donald or myself, Carmen ( Read more... )

What’s your name?” Despite the fact that he barks at them and has made it his personal mission to keep them away from doors, they think he is the bees knees. They also really think that he ( Read more... )

My Moxley The AwesomeDog has had a rough couple of days.

To begin with, he has to deal with two tween girl cats.  (Seriously, if they were human, they’d be in the “OMG, TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!”  stage of life and having serious arguments over being Team Edward vs. Team Jacob.)

That in and of itself is rough for any happy, laid-back canine.  Then the ( Read more... )

Damn they move fast.  And the lighting in my room sucks to boot.  But I got 2 pics today!

They are so sweet.  Their personalities are definitely starting to emerge - Lily stops for attention before going off to conquer the universe and if Carmen is getting cuddled, she’s right there going, “What about ME?!”  She’s a leg climber and does a lovely ( Read more... )
