Toe floofs!

His full name is Oberon. Or Rocky. Or Spike, depending on who in my house you ask. I prefer Obi wan Catnobi myself.

It is a full, adorable house around here. Jessie, Floyd, Chief and Obie.

My husband was couch surfing when I met him. I didn't realize it until after a couple of weeks I was like, "Where do you go at night? Why don't you just stay here?" That was in 2001. Sometimes it does work!

We have the purple flower one for our boxer. After having one food-inhaling meatloaf die of bloat, I wasn't taking my chances. The vizsla eats likes she's angling for a Vogue cover so she still has a regular bowl.

The two years I spent working in the college library fixing books is some of the best preparation I had for being being a parent.

U Mad?

When I come home from work my dogs run to the door barking like they have never met me before. Every day. They are dumb. Wicked dumb.

Hey now, I was 17 when they left Hartford. I didn't exactly have much purchasing power to help the situation.

That is, for reasons wholly unknown to me, the only Encyclopedia Brown plot I can remember to this day.

I'll probably languish in the greys but whatever: I have a wii and a seven-year-old. I want to upgrade to <i>something</i> but am having trouble deciding between the PS4 and wiiU. I don't want a PS3 out of the fear that a few years down the line needing to upgrade again just to get the new games. I am not a gamer,…

It was ok though, I got paid $25 per day after the third day and was the only person on the jury…

School is definitely not a guaranteed pass for jury duty. I was impaneled for four weeks when I was 18 and still in high school. I'd go to my first class, drive two towns away for jury duty and then come back in time for sports practice. Oddly, the only person who cared my my Civics teacher.

Not horrible exactly. Just weird.

Not ALL Women! Wait, what?

That's what I don't get. Did they get bad intel regarding the factions of the US pizza wars?

I am not going to take a side on the Dunks vs Tims debate because I am a Masshole married to a Canadian but I really need someone to explain to me the existence of Boston Pizza. Boston is known for many things. Funny accents, baked beans, sports teams, drunk college kids... Pizza is most certainly not one of them.

Oh and if we are doing ring bearers too... At three my son was in my sister's beach wedding which also featured her two dogs. Despite being a relatively short ceremony he still managed to work in time to dig a very large hole for him and his cousin to sit in and to make out with one of my sister's very large…
