All is going smoothly for the pups this week, Leela has claimed her ratty old bed back and Miko patiently waiting for more play time. I am so glad Friday is almost here! It’s been a week with a lot of people in our department still out with the flu and me keeping my fingers […]
When Avocado with Kick is Fabulous
We finally got a little bit of rain here this week. No where near enough to make a dent in the scary drought conditions, but enough to make the dogs protest going outside to do their business. Miko is so funny when he thinks it’s too cold and wet outside, he curls his tail and butt in, […]
How Banana Makes A Salad Decadent

Miko, Leela, and Smokey have been so sweet to us as we’re dealing with everything, Miko has been extra cuddly […]
