I have another sad post I’ll have to write later but I want some happy posts in between. I was visiting an animal shelter this afternoon when I got a picture message from my husband. The picture included the caption: “Cooper’s first 4k”. This is exciting to both me and Adam. New Hampshire has 48 [...]

New Hampshire Animal Shelters
As an animal lover and someone who likes to have harmony among the animals in my house I spend a lot of time when I’m looking for someone to add to our family. It usually takes me a few visits to several animal shelters before I find someone that really clicks. We had found Beavis [...]
Cats
Loss of a pet
This is not a happy post, but it is one I need to write in order to deal with this. This morning Beavis slipped out when Adam brought Cooper out for his morning ritual. Because the cats are usually hard to catch and it was raining so we assumed he would go hide under a [...]

Ocean Beaches
I love going to New Hampshire’s 18 miles of coastline. I guess I’m a natural beachcomber. I spend a lot of time in the winter walking along the sandy beaches and I’m really excited to have Cooper to join me on future excursions. Taking a dog to the beach in the summer time requires more [...]

In a dress
Dear Chihuahua owner, Is it not enough that your dog is the size of other dogs’ chew toys? That most of the large dogs at the dog park have bigger feet than your pet? You must show up to the dog park on a lovely Sunday morning with your dog wearing a frilly pink dress. [...]

I have lived in states that border the Ocean for over 7 years now. And for many of those years I have visited beaches on a regular basis. From Maine to Cape Cod, I have always associated these flowers with the salt spray, the sound of waves and dogs and people running along the sand. [...]

Live Free or Die
“Live Free or Die. Death is not the Worst of Evils” Over 7 years ago I made my first trip to the state of New Hampshire. I was going hiking with my crew team in the White Mountains. One of the most distinct features I noticed on that trip up was the motto on the [...]

FiveFingers Update
I’ve been loving my Vibram FiveFingers so far. They are so strange as shoes. I can feel every rock, every stick and every puddle. I find myself having to pay attention to what I am stepping on or in all over again. I mostly wear them to go walking in the woods with the puppy. [...]

Prissy Poodle
When we told people we were getting a poodle we occasionally got funny looks. “A poodle? Aren’t those a little prissy for what you guys do?” I have to admit both Adam and I had a few negative stereotypes of Poodles in mind when we started down the Poodle path. When we started talking about [...]
