Some lovely words to think about.
Around here
Chowder Vargas
Emory
In between traversing the city finding the spot where L. Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz (just mere blocks from the apartment) and the house where Walt Disney grew up (now a not so great house), we also came across two loose pups. One we couldn’t get near, but the other (named Chowder Vargas!), we successfully reunited with his owner. And let me tell you, Chick was not happy to have me holding that little guy. We also pet taxied little Emory around, who was just adopted yesterday through One Tail at a Time. The rest of the weekend was spent feeling grateful for a sweet and silly Chick, safely inside.

14 years young
Fourteen years ago my sweet pups, Fray and Gin, came into my life. Yesterday was Fray’s birthday, today is Gin’s. I was in fifth grade and I had only ever known one dog before them. It’s so hard to believe they’ve been a part of our lives for that long, and it’s hard to imagine how time flew by that fast. Fortunately they are doing better than ever, if a bit slower and a bit hard of hearing, but I’m so happy they’re still here with me.
Last few days of 2012
We spent the last few days of 2012 up in Lake Mills enjoying the snow (who would have thought Chicklet actually likes the snow?), taking in a Badger basketball game and relishing the last few days of relaxation before work begins again.
2012
2012 flew by so quickly I almost can’t believe tomorrow begins 2013. I turned 25 this year and while I know this is in no way old, I can already feel how much faster time flies as the years pass. This year saw a few lows (getting mugged, saying goodbye to Paige), but many more highs (becoming Volunteer Coordinator for One Tail at a Time and Chicklet, of course). Read more
