Quoted directly from my vet bill last week: “The physical exam performed on Brew today was within normal limits, except for the stick stuck in his mouth. I removed it, he should be fine.” I don’t know why, but that makes me laugh.
Late Monday morning I was driving to work and I called my mom, like I often do on my way to work, because its a 10-minute drive and that’s the perfect time to chat and catch up just a bit. She answered the phone and sounded …… odd. And perhaps a bit out of breath. “What’s [...]
I just came home from a lovely lunch out with girlfriends celebrating one (much younger, obviously) friend’s 30th birthday and we had a molten chocolate cake to share and we talked and laughed and my day was going swimmingly and then I walked in the door and discovered that obviously I left the dogs in [...]
I made Oriental Chicken Salad for dinner tonight …. one of my favorites. Unfortunately, its extremely humid here (or maybe only humid in my house!) and the ceramic bowl was wet. As I went to put it in the fridge, it slipped out of my hands, took a good bounce on the kitchen rug, and [...]
…of WWBC 2009. (in other words, “What Would Barley Chew?”, a continuing series involving our dogs, Barley and Brew, and the innumerous household items they ravage during their time here.) I don’t think it requires any great stretch of the imagination to guess exactly what I thought this was on my bedroom floor when I [...]
two-headed, eight-legged, rabid, vicious monster, taking up residence in our kitchen!! Oh, wait. It’s just Brew and Barley, hanging out with each other like they do every day.

I’m really worried about our new dog, Brew. I’m afraid he’s just not comfortable here yet. I mean, you can plainly see that he’s stressed to the max. All this tension can’t be good for him. How long must he fret and worry that the kids don’t like him? That the other dog doesn’t like [...]
Yep, I knew it wouldn’t take anyone long to guess ….. my friend Lisa from Georgia not only guessed, but got his name right as well, based on my post label from the “dog lumping” entry. Introducing the newest member of our family (which is now closely starting to resemble a zoo around here, although [...]
So, a few things we did last week during Spring Break: 1. Obligatory day at the park? Check 2. Obligatory day at the zoo? Check 3. Obligatory sleep over, pizza lunch, and matinee of Race to Witch Mountain? Check We, however, did one additional Spring Break “thing” that was sort of fun and out of [...]
