Our dog, Bentley, was booked for a commercial…but didn’t get the part! We still think he’s the cutest! (but do you think he looks dejected?)

Just a quick Wordless Wednesday pic of two of my “boys” sleeping over the long weekend! Too cute! (I do say so myself!)

This weekend, the kids, the dog and I (Hubby was in sunny Florida) went to visit my sister who recently left the hipster haven of Brooklyn for a small, bucolic college town more than two hours north of NYC. While she’s renovating her new acquired 1726 farmhouse, she’s living in a different farmhouse she rents [...]
Stories from the Dog Park
Posted in Dogs, pets on October 4, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Weird things happen at the dog park. And I’ve been collecting them. Seen as a list, it’s kind of amazing that anyone has a dog. Why put up with this crap? And picking up his crap? And sometimes having to wipe the crap from his straggly butt hair? Am I grossing you out? Good. At [...]
Busy Doing Nothing

At the end of every day, I feel like I have done nothing. Oh I’ve been busy all right. But doing what? So one day last week, I decided to keep track of my day — how could I have been so busy during all those hours when the kids were at school and have [...]

So I made this really really good meatball dish for dinner. Not that labor intensive (despite the long ingredient list). Needless to say – the hubby forgot to tell me he had a business dinner, my son took one look at it and said he didn’t like it, and my daughter and I were left [...]

The Kids vs. The Dog I remember the olden days when my children would cry and carry on when I left the house to go out. “Don’t go Mommy! Don’t go!” And when they would rejoice at my return, running to the door to smother me with kisses….even if I had only gone downstairs to [...]

Those of you with small children, take heart: one day, you too will be able to go on bike rides with your family. One day, you too, will be able to take your children to a restaurant sometime after 5:30pm. One day, you won’t have to supervise playdates, or clean those little sippy cup straws, [...]
Sick as a Dog

I’ve always wondered where the expression “sick as a dog” came from. Now I know. Our new puppy, Bentley, has been sick – on and off – more or less since we rescued him. In the past six weeks, we’ve been through three rounds of medication for Giardia, which is a parasite common to puppies, [...]
