Bailey has been adopted. *gasp* *awwww* Bailey has taken her zen-chewing, patented-somersault-into-a-snuggle, high-energy, ever-happy-gal ways and moved in with a new Momma. I had started to truly believe I could never let her go–she was my dog–but then we met her new Momma. It was the day of an adoption event and honestly, on the way there, [...]

The two week shut down is still in progress. Everything is still going swimmingly. I must confess that Saturday (day 9) I caved on the walk thing. There just is not a great way to exercise a beast in your yard in Minnesota in February! With the warm up and subsequent thaw, layers of doo [...]

Ok, so it isn’t really a “Lock Down”. The part of me that loves language and the connotation words can bring with them, (in addition to an attraction to the dramatic) , could not resist. And to be honest, when I am crating and rotating all I have to say to my crew is “lock [...]
