Yesterday marks one year since we said goodbye to our big dog, Zeus. I’ve been thinking about him a lot all week. I can honestly say though, that thinking about him now doesn’t move me to tears quite the way it did for such a long time. I think having Luna in our lives now…

What have I gotten myself into?
Yeah, I know, she’s super cute. She’s friggin’ adorable. She’s smart as a whip. Hilarious to watch. But she’s also a bit of a nightmare at times. A nightmare I was so not prepared for. Trust me, I love this creature, most of the time (kidding, kidding). But I am having a hard time of…
We have new wheels!
Last night Chris and I finally got to go pick up our new car, a Volkswagen Jetta TDI Wagon, in silver. We’ve only been waiting 2 months for it to come from the factory. We’ve been planning to get rid of our very unnecessary two cars for quite some time, and probably would have done…

Our house feels so empty and quiet.
A legend in his own time
Well, where do I start? I’m feeling pretty numb. Today was the day we said good bye to my big monster. We made the decision several weeks ago. Zeus has been progressively having more problems with his hind legs, seemingly losing more and more sensation, stepping on the tops of his back feet and putting…
Zeus’s lederhosen
Okay, so I mentioned a few posts back that Zeus has had some of his own health problems, which started a couple weeks before Spud, one of our two cats, had to be put down. Zeus is a Saint Bernard over 11 years old (miraculous in and of itself), so of course whenever something significant…
Little dog in a big dog world
Last night we dogsat Bondi, a roughly 7 or 8 (I think) year old Boston Terrier. We were supposed to have him most of the week because our friends’ baby was supposed to have surgery, but the little man has a chest cold and it wasn’t to be. So the little bat-eared dude went home…
Hams for Thanksgiving
This was the first time the family was together at the new cottage in Coboconk (I know, I know its hilarious! People who live there call it “Coby”). The kids, Chris’s niece and nephew, were really into hamming it for the camera. Mr. B is about 2 and a half, and he’s one of the…
Zeus Yarn by Vergeknits
About a week and a half ago I received a treasure in the mail. I’m not yet sure what I’m going to do with it, but its already a very important memory for me. My big monster dog, Zeus, an 11-year-old Saint Bernard, is certainly enjoying his golden years and I know its unlikely I’ll…
