  • Sam Update: Revelations

    For you Sam groupies out there, here’s an update — We recently learned Sam loves chicken. Sure, as a beagle she lives for her nose and all the neat things it can snuffle out (rule of paw – the smellier the better), but food is food is food to Sam (and sometimes food can be…

  • Sam Update: The Beginning of the CCL Saga

    Well, it’s the crack of dawn and I’m wide awake so instead of tossing and turning or drinking warm milk, I thought “what the hell, I’ll poke the Big Blue Mess”. Plus, warm milk just sounds gross. I mean, does that really make you fall asleep or does your body throw up a white flag…

  • Sage

    As you can see, Sage survived. It was a miracle. First there was the uneventful yet some how perilous car ride (which involved a major “singing” protest). Next was the whole cleaning, IV-ing, and teeth extracting. Then more terror fraught car adventures and finally the food denial. “No Sage, I realize you’re hungry and GET…

  • Morning Antics

    Ok, so I’m woefully behind on posting. I have no “real” excuse, but I have some amazing half-baked excuses that work for me. (See, they work for me so I’m not sharing, you might go back to the whole “half baked” thing, which is a little judgemental. I’m a little hurt, actually.) In 2 minutes,…

  • Update for Charla

    Since my step-mom uses this blog as an update on what’s going on (or what I’m thinking about) and I’ve been really bad about posting lately, I thought I’d update her. My apologies to the rest of you who probably are a couple of seconds from yawning if you go much past this sentence. Sam…

  • How is Sam?

    Sam’s Invisible Convertible Ride Originally uploaded by Beth Doughty As you’ve all probably guessed, I’m running low on blog ideas and the ones I’ve typed out just seem kind of “bleh” at the moment. So, since I get asked about Sam a lot, I’ll give you the Sam update. Sam is doing MUCH better. She’s…

  • Sam Update

    Since I had such a beautiful rant about what Sam meant to me, I thought I’d post an update. Sam has had a tough week. She’s been to the neurologist, had a CT scan, had spinal fluid drawn, and cultures done of her little ear. The diagnosis: Sam has one heck of an ear infection.…

  • RANT: What My Dog is Worth

    We own a lot of frivolous things – from the PlayStation that now only acts as the DVD player to our computers, computer subscriptions, DVD collection, etc. etc. ad nauseum. In fact, there are few things we have in our house that we actually “need”. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking all we…

  • Meet Sam!

    Last week, you got to meet April so this week meet our new girl Sam! Sam is a blue beagle we adopted from Hound Rescue. The cats want us to pass along that they’re not amused and should she ever get brave enough to sniff one (she’s all beagle) they have a surprise for her.…
