Our Christmas Tradition

Every year we take the dogs to a tree farm and pose in front of our tree before Rob cuts it down. Following on my earlier post this week, Leo continues to impress me. He sat down, even lay down, while I set up the tripod. People walked by, and I did reward him withContinue reading “Our Christmas Tradition”

Celebrating 5 years of Mia, age 12

Birthdays are funny. It was a Big Deal when I turned 40 in October. But I didn’t feel any different. We don’t know when Mia’s birthday is, and we don’t really know how old she is. So we celebrate the anniversary of the day we got her. Which was five years ago June 4. AtContinue reading “Celebrating 5 years of Mia, age 12”

Merry Christmas from 1979!

As far as I know, Schatzi was the first family dog I knew. She belonged to my grandparents in Indiana.

They know if you’ve been bad or good

Two hours after I left to go to LA for a few days, Rob sent me a photo of Leo pouting by the front door, either waiting for my return, or longing to relive his romp from the previous day, when he slipped past Grandma and raced around the front yard for a few minutesContinue reading “They know if you’ve been bad or good”

December so soon?

This is our family tradition. Every year, we go to the same lot with our dog(s) and pose in front of our tree(s) before Rob chops them down.
