Dogs

So there I was, minding my own business, when I heard a ruckus.  I walked out of the office to find Gabe darting from the kitchen to the living room – never a good sign. I walked into the kitchen and found… this: Oh, how’s that? you ask?  Here, let me give you a better…

Something I Googled this morning: Is kennel cough contagious to humans? Because – bad news – Kodi has kennel cough.  And also – bad news – it is. – – – – – – – – First, “The Pianist” came from Netflix.  Then, “The Piano” came from Netflix. What in the world.  Why did I…

A week ago Saturday, Annie opened the front door.  I ran through it.  She had my leash out, so I knew we were going somewhere – but instead of walking around the block one time (as far as I can walk), she lifted me into her car. I like to ride in the car.  I…

Hey, Annie. Oh hey there. What did you not do last night? I did not attend a… seminar? a workshop?… called “7 Ways to Choke a Man Unconscious.” What??!?  Who invited you to such a thing? My friend Mike.  You know him, you love him. Well, it’s really too bad that you didn’t go. I…

Next week, my mom is moving to Kansas City.  While this is definitely a good decision for her, selfishly, it’s hard on my heart.  I moved to Colorado to be closer to my parents, and starting next week, neither of them will live here anymore.  This brings up all sorts of questions and emotions for…

I promise to not make this blog into one never-ending series called “What I’m Reading – and So Should You!”  But – sue me, people – I’m reading a lot right now.  And unless you want to hear about my dream last night (I killed a wild hog), then thank your lucky stars that it’s…

Since our last rendezvous, some things have happened. 1) BOOKS When it comes to books these days, I am insatiable. I absolutely devoured “The Hunger Games.”  This series is all the rage, and I know that a lot of you have read them.  No spoilers here, except to say that I have not enjoyed a…

My sister Becca is a great gift-giver.  She puts a lot of time and thought and effort into the things that she gives people – and this past Christmas was no exception. In addition to our “real” presents, she made everyone in our family an awesome dog portrait.  Weird?  NOT IF YOU’RE A PARSONS. Becca…

Just a few things I would like to mention… Toad’s haircut Remember Toad? SHE GOT HER SUMMER HAIRCUT! She’s still the happiest little Piggy Toad on the planet. Speaking of “Toad” I saw this dead, flattened frog in the parking lot at work.  I took a picture of it.  I don’t know why. The fact…
