Close Encounters of the Red Kind
I've been trying to get more creative with my gift giving over the last 18 months. It hasn't been easy. Recently, when my Darling Dad turned 75, I avoided all the books, chocolates and monogrammed pens that I would normally look at (and all the golfing, fishing and outdoorsy stuff that I wouldn't), and made the decision to book in a fun Daddy-Daughter experience to celebrate the big day.

I Miss You
It's been a month since I lost her. I'm not going to lie, the day she died, I felt as if a chunk of my heart died along with her. As they always tell you: when the days pass by, it does get a little easier to live without them, but it's the memories that still tend to sneak into my head at night and slowly roll down my cheeks.

Meila Moo Saves the Day
Meila Moo Saves the Day Meila Ruth came into my life on November 14th, 2017. I googled puppies on Craigslist, searched the Facebook marketplace and looked up every breeder in Tennessee. I found little Meila and her brothers and sisters on Craigslist finally. She was the runt of the litter. We drove over an hour to pick her up and she was half the size of the brother they brought along for us to choose from.

Introducing: Lucy and Molly
As I am sitting at the kitchen table with Pandora playing my favorite music, I cannot help but contemplate where my life has taken me to. I could regret choices unmade or decisions made in haste, but every moment has led me to where I am. I have been led to typing at the table with the most adorable Yorkshire terrier sleeping soundly on the chair next to me and a boxer mix who likes to sleep on the spare bed starting at dark time.

I Want A Dog. What Do I Do?
There is no doubt that dogs are our best friends. These trusting and loyal companions come in all shapes and sizes along with all types of breeds and temperament. By that definition, you would think they do not have anything in common but they do. They all want to be loved and give love. All dogs have this in common.

Meet Dottie
Anxiety. To say the least it's the most powerful emotion any single person can ever feel. Sometimes even unbearable. Four-legged creatures can help any person who feels trapped, anxious and down right sluggish. Everyday I come home and embrace the power of what it feels like to hug this sweet girl. MEET Dottie, my best friend and ultimately the one four-legged creature I've ever owned that can make a bad day, a beautiful one. Dottie was a rescue that came from a seriously down-spiraled environment and was taken in by a family friend, who ultimately ended up letting me adopt her. Dot's almost a year old and we've only had her a couple months, she's loving and probably the biggest teddy bear of a Pit bull you'll ever meet. IF you're anything like me then you'll understand what it means to find a best friend in a dog who has completely changed MY life around and my spouses.
