Could it be that it’s been too long since you’ve seen pictures of my dog catching a soccer ball? I know these probably look a lot like pictures of my dog catching a soccer ball last March, but she was only five months old then, and now she’s a year old! I’ve decided that IContinue reading “Is something missing from your life?”

The way to a man’s heart
To attend my mother’s wedding, Rob had to work an 12-hour overnight shift the previous Sunday, followed by his regular 8-hour shift Monday. Then he traveled with me on Thursday, listened to his iPod during the brief rehearsal and regaled my mother’s friends with fart and ass jokes during the rehearsal dinner. Friday, he wanderedContinue reading “The way to a man’s heart”
OMFG, a Roomba
(To quote Chelsea.) My house is being vacuumed. As I write this. By a robot! It takes a while, as the house is big, but it’s doing its thing. Isis is definitely intrigued, and has licked it a few times, but she doesn’t bark incessantly at it. Rather, she barks sporadically. That I can liveContinue reading “OMFG, a Roomba”
Why Rob’s not so crazy about me
I have an iguana named Stew. Rob is not as fond of Stew as he is Isis. No kisses, no rubs to the belly. He insists Stew is a boy, but I’ve decided she’s definitely a girl. Rob doesn’t even like to touch Stew, who lives in his computer room because it was the bestContinue reading “Why Rob’s not so crazy about me”
Best birthday present ever
My birthday isn’t until tomorrow, but I decided the other day what I was going to buy myself with my birthday money (Thanks, Dad!). A Roomba! It’s going to take some work to make sure Isis isn’t completely traumatized by the thing, which we wouldn’t even need if she could keep her damn fur onContinue reading “Best birthday present ever”
IM gaffe
Imagine you’re my coworker, corresponding with me on our newly downloaded instant message application. We’re firing messages back and forth while I copy edit the newsletter. After a few moments of radio silence, the following pops up from me in your instant message window: We bury our dog poopin a little doggie composter. I can’tContinue reading “IM gaffe”
Guilt ridden
Yesterday, I suited up in matching sky blue rain paints and raincoat to walk Isis. It was blustery and raining, you see. You’da thought she’d never been outside the house before, she was so enchanted by all that she saw (and smelled, no doubt). I don’t think she walked beside me for two steps theContinue reading “Guilt ridden”
I was wrong
I thought by the time she turned 1, Isis was going to be 100 pounds, or at least 90. Nope. She’s just 67 pounds. Even after having a medium vanilla ice cream from Dairy Queen to celebrate her first birthday yesterday. Happy birthday, Princess!
To have seen what I’ve seen
Oh, woe. Poor little me. Life was so much fun before Disney World. Now, how can it compare? On the plus side, there was no Isis in Orlando. The first couple of days were rough. I kept wondering what she was doing and whether she was worried we weren’t coming back. Then it became clearContinue reading “To have seen what I’ve seen”
I have failed
Or rather Isis has. I don’t know where I went wrong. I’ve been walking her every morning for a couple of weeks, throwing in practice commands all along the way. She’s behaved well at home, even learning “Go to your crate” (cus that’s where the treats are) and “let’s go inside.” She hasn’t been racingContinue reading “I have failed”
