  • Pic of the swimmin' boy

    I kept seeing this pic in the sidebar, so I thought I'd put it over here. He is incredibly OCD when it comes to swimming. He swims counter clockwise, snapping at the splashes and only gets out when his belly is about …

  • He's okay. After aspirating the lump, the vet found white blood cells and fat cells in the aspirate. She said it was an infected fatty tumor and sent Bay home with antibiotics. This should clear it up but if it doesn…

  • I'm a sucker for a sappy movie

    I was flipping through channels and I came across "Stepmom". Oh lordy. I sat down and watched the last half hour and cried my ass off. I have seen it before and knew I would get all upset, so why do I do that? I was …

  • Poor Bay

    Riley loves to play with my makeup. If I am not vigilant in knowing where she is at every second, she sneaks off to my bathroom and gets into my makeup and makes a huge mess. So far she has ruined some lipsticks and d…

  • Mud

    Yesterday I drained the hot tub so I could clean it out and add fresh water. Since the heater doesn't work, it is a baby pool for the kids and it is getting a lot of use. I drain it in the same spot in the back yard a…

  • "Daddy is smarter than you"

    That is one of the gems Hannah shared with me, the other on Mother's Day. "You're being very nice today." I asked her if I was usually mean, she said yes. Awesome. I did have a very nice mother's day. I started out …

  • Bad news from the vet

    After 6 weeks in a splint, going every week to have it changed and examined and 6 weeks of Darby taking it easy, her toe is still in many pieces. She has to have it amputated. Crap. I haven't made the appointment yet…

  • Poor doggie toe

    My Darby girl has been limping for a few days, and thinking she had torn her ACL, I was putting off confirming my suspicion and the thousands of dollars it was going to take to fix it. I took her to the vet today and sh…

  • Bailey and the hot tub

    Our new house has a hot tub on the screened in porch. It is an old one, and we are hoping it has a few good years left in it. I have not tried it out because I wanted to drain and clean it first, not knowing what was i…
