Ack! Jenny’s post from yesterday was a good reminder to me that Barktober Fest is only 11 days away! Since we adopted Murphy from Lollypop Farm we like to participate in this annual walk. It wasn’t a whole lot of fun pushing the stroller around the gravely course last year, but Carrie and I have [...]
Molly and Murphy have been tagged by Oscar. Here are the rules: List 5 weird things about yourself, your children* or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Don
January 12, 1994 – April 18, 2006 My parents had their dog Shadow put to sleep last night. He had cancer and had been rapidly declining over the past few weeks. It took a long time to get used to visiting their house and not seeing Sylvan…and now, just 14 months later, we have to [...]
I’m not sure why Carrie decided to wriggle half out of her shirt, but was really hard not to laugh when she did. So instead I took pictures! This is the first time she’s managed to extricate herself from any clothing that isn’t already part way off (besides shoes and socks). I figure she’s going [...]
Molly and Murphy are thrilled that it’s the year of the dog! I’m not so sure they were thrilled that Carrie was petting them, but she was certainly happy about it. And in the background are the results of our weekend project. You see that nice cushiony plaid thing where a hearth should be? We [...]
Molly and Murphy say “thank you very much” to all those who sponsored them on their walk. Carrie had a grand time staring at all the doggies, too! It was a perfect warm and sunny day, and the turnout seemed to be really good – I hope they raised a lot to help the shelter [...]
D’oh! I just realized that the link on the sidebar to our Barktober Fest sponsor page was wrong! And there are only 4 days left before the walk. If anyone tried to sponsor us and couldn’t get to the page, sorry…and please try again. Thanks!
It’s time for Barktober Fest again! If anyone is interested in sponsoring Molly and Murphy on their walk, there’s a donation page set up. We’re walking as a family this year, and we can’t wait to see how Carrie reacts to all the dogs. Dogs are her favorite creatures on this earth, and so many [...]
There’s been a (new?) cat hanging around our place lately. Personally, I don’t care – I generally like cats. However. The dogs – well, mainly Molly – think that cats are an extreme threat to our general well-being, and will not hesitate to loudly inform us that there is yet another C.A.T. threat outside. Aside [...]
February 13, 1994 – February 17, 2005 Today my parents had to put down one of their two dogs, Sylvan. He had just turned 11, and was diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer a couple of months ago. My family adopted him the first year I was away at college, so although I didn’t really grow [...]
