Critter Chronicles
Pets
RIP Barbie
It was only a matter of time. Between the boy and the big dog and the little dog, she was bound to meet her match eventually. It just happened sooner than I expected. But I’m pretty sure I know who the culprit is. Tony… er, Simon, will be so sad. As they say, the honeymoon … Continue reading
Tuesday Tidbits, Facebook Edition: 13 December
Tuesday Tidbits are the posts where I sum up all the little things that happen in our lives from one week to the next; the little things that aren’t interesting enough for me to write an entire post about (though you all know I can spin a boring tale out of pretty much near anything), … Continue reading
Wordless Wednesday: Cat Burglar
>Just in case you didn’t believe me when I said Frisky steals my kitchen rug to hide behind a bunch of picture frames quite a distance away… The frames in question* The cat burglar himself, caught red-pawed, de-collared… and sleeping. I. Give. Up. *Yup. We’ve been in this house for over ten months now and … Continue reading

>Video: Two Birds, One… Hose
>The following video is just 37 seconds of watching our dog drink water from a hose. Anyone over the age of eight might not find this remotely entertaining, but The Critters thought it was funny. Of course they don’t have very discriminating taste; they think Phineas and Ferb is a funny cartoon. Come to think … Continue reading
>Cooper. Again.
>Back when Tony and I were first-time dog parents, we were lazy. Maggie, our beloved child-substitute, was a disaster and completely spoiled. We allowed her to use our couch as her personal recliner and she spooned Tony each night in bed, placing her head next to him on his pillow. She got what she wanted … Continue reading
>Low Key
>This was a very low-key weekend for our family, which is always welcome. At least to me. Friday night Tony and I hired a babysitter so we could go see Dave Ramsey speak live at one of the local military installations. Two things about this: Even though this presentation was shorter and without the visual … Continue reading
>(Mostly) Wordless Wednesday
> Cooper is always and forever chewing on things that don’t belong to him. Thus is the curse of living with a dog who loves toys and has the absolute inability to distinguish between “Cooper’s Toys” and “everything else in the house”. In this picture, taken this past Sunday, I looked over to see that … Continue reading
>FREE TO A GOOD HOME: 3-Yr-Old Boy & His Dog
>I don’t know what is wrong with my child. For the past two days he’s been more clingy than usual, less willing to do anything for himself (except, strangely, use the toilet which he seems more than happy to do on his own without a candy incentive). He picked a fight with Brenna the moment … Continue reading
>Cooper – A One Month Update
>Cooper. Oh, my Cooper. Let me tell you – I didn’t want a dog. Not again. They’re so much work, especially when you get them as puppies. There’s the housebreaking, and the socializing with your kids and other animals, and the training. The dealing with the barking at guests and jumping up and being entirely … Continue reading
