Sometimes Andrew doesn’t get to his run until he gets home from work (he usually tries to go at lunchtime). That means running with Kiera in the dark. It’s pretty easy to find reflective gear for people, but not as easy for dogs. Here’s a great site for reflective dog wear.… Read More
Just having finished raking the leaves from our beautiful Maple tree into a pile of brilliant reds and spun golds, it reminded me of one of my favorite pictures of Cait. She’s peeking out from under a leaf pile she’s just belly-flopped into. She’s only 4 yrs old here. How the years fly…… Read More

For a time, when I was young, we lived in a great neighborhood where everyone knew each other and the kids all played in one big pack. In that neighborhood, Halloween was celebrated with as much fanfare as Christmas. Everyone decorated their houses. Costumes were thought out and planned in advance. Halloween night had … Read More
