this is not the post i want to be writing today but sometimes life gets in the way of what we want. today is astrid’s (seen here most recently) time and we are letting her go peacefully. this decision of allowing our animals to die with dignity and peace is one that i take very seriously and one that i wish we afforded people. it is an enormous decision and one that cannot be taken lightly. when we know the time is coming we agonize over whether we’ll know...

well, we’ve made it through burr season (see this) and now find ourselves firmly entrenched in what we fondly refer to as “berry eating season” (i said fondly refer to not wittily refer to or creatively refer to...it's a very literal title, not unlike doorman). very simply this means the dogs spend all their time outside foraging under our trees for any kind of fallen debris they can ingest. the one exception is carly (she's always always the exception), who chooses not to wait for things to...

yesterday was murray's 13th birthday...can i get a "woot woot!" i'm sure by now you're all tired of my murray stories but if you'll permit me i'd just like to reiterate that he hurts my heart every day. if you're not tired yet you can read this or this or this...or you could just do a "murray" search over there to the right (sadly i've done it on my own blog several times - just to see what i've said about murray).

i work out most mornings on an elliptical machine. i’m only imparting this information because it’s pertinent to this post, otherwise i would keep my workout schedule to myself and let you think i come about my zaftig figure naturally. phineus is my consummate workout partner, however, the only physical activity he does is the short run it takes for him to get to the room when he realizes working out is happening. it seems like he thinks if he’s in the room while...
