  • 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…

  • Tried to Bump Off Sam: How Was YOUR Weekend?

    Last Thursday, I almost completely lost it – Sam, our adorable little beagle, ate a big bag of trail mix. In truth, Sam eats anything that has any hint of flavor – the only exceptions are: pills, broccoli and socks – if it’s not pills or broccoli or socks, which oh please, don’t insult her…

  • Sam

    Sam Back Home Originally uploaded by Big Blue Mess I picked up Sam first thing yesterday morning. As soon as she was moved from the kennel to the vet area in back, I heard her baying up a storm; she was so excited. She burst out of their area, pink bow flopping excitedly and ran…

  • 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?

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.…
