Squeekerz Came Home with a New Family
If you’ve been following me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter then you know that our dog, Squeekerz, ran away last Friday morning, leaving the family heartbroken. Well, he returned late Saturday afternoon after a week long adventure and he didn’t come back alone… Late Saturday afternoon, The Boy and I were sitting downstairs talking when I happened to look out the window and see a big fluffy black something in the backyard. A few feet behind the black something I saw a little tan something dart across the yard. I called the boy to the window and said “What’s that?”, he replied “Oh, it’s a black cat.” I squinted and said, “No,…

Translation: the dog used to be afraid of the shutter sound and now that he’s used to it, he gets the canine equivalent of giddy whenever he sees the camera. Trust me, that’s his happy face. We also suspect that Squeekerz spent some time in the military because he does a lot of low crawling.…

Random Saturday and a Winner
1. My baby is 15 today. My plan was to ignore her until the exact time of her birth, except no one can remember what time she was born. I remember 2 things from that day: Yelling “Get it out of me!” Obviously, no drugs were involved in the delivery of this child Turning to the hubs while he was doing that Lamaze breathing and hissing “What the *$%# are you counting for?” 2. We tried a pomelo today. Have you ever had one of those? It looks like a giant green grapefruit and has a similar citrusy taste. I sliced it length wise and tried to eat it that…
