For the most part, the handlers at Westminster dress as if they were going to a county club event. Sleek suits, beautiful skirts and sequined dresses were all seen last night and tonight they will be even more formally dressed. All very appropriate for the biggest event in dog shows, which is broadcast live on […]

Doug likes to freak people out. He can deny this, but it is true. I asked him to figure out shelter for the outside cat. I was thinking a box with a blanket, the old doghouse or even something in the garage. I wasn’t expecting him to do anything as elaborate as this. While I […]
Molly’s pathology report came in today. Benign.
After Doug and Noah left yesterday, I loaded the children into the car for errands. Molly hopped in and sat on the front passenger seat. Molly loves the car, hates being home alone and is better behaved than the children so, I like having her with me. Whenever the car stopped at a light or […]
