Kiera, Graidy, Wink and Me
… could figure out how to crawl inside her skin to be that much closer, I’ve no doubt he would!
This is how the two of them sleep every night. Face to face. Breath to breath. Heartbeat to heartbeat.
It’s a love like no other. And I can’t believe that Cait has finally found it. It’s been a long time coming. So long, in fact, that I wondered if she’d ever get to have the experience.
All it took was … Read More
I’ve got to make some decisions about which vaccines I’ll be subjecting Wink to and whether or not he’ll be neutered.
It’s been several years since I’ve had to deal with puppy vaccine and neutering schedules, and there’s been a considerable amount of new information regarding these procedures since Kiera was a puppy. So I’ve been getting myself back up to speed on current knowledge.

But I finally hit on a solution … Read More
Wink has been with us for three weeks now. He is as sweet a dog as I have ever come across. He’s so cute and cuddly and full of love that everyone who meets him can’t help but say, “Awwww…”
And then they can’t help but pick him up, for which they’ll receive a tiny face bath for their troubles.
Friends have threatened to slip him into their coat pockets and steal away with him.
His mere presence makes grown … Read More
I think it was John Lennon who said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
Well “life” sure has been happenin’ around here. Not least of which is that I’ve somehow been roped into adding a third dog to our crew.
It all started when Cait began making serious noise again about wanting her own little dog (emphasis on little). Having zero interest in adding a third dog, I told her to take it up … Read More
