It has been cold and frosty here, motivating myself for a long run this morning was a challenge. But I felt great after and needed to get some moving in after lots of great eating this weekend! For now we may have found a bed solution that Leela likes, for now. I was cleaning and […]
Smoky Butternut Pasta Sauce
Sometimes I wonder why I try. Leela loves to burrow into blankets to stay warm especially in the winter, but that’s gotten difficult now that she’s older and blind and I worry that she’ll get cold if we’re not there to cover her with a blanket. There are pet beds that allow dogs to burrow […]
Winter Eats for the List
It’s been full on winter mode here this week with lots of rain, fog, and chilly overcast days. I’m not complaining, it’s been beautiful. Even Leela has been enjoying staying warm in her snuggle bed and the new bowl set I picked up for her that has a tray to contain messes and bowls that […]
Daring Tahini Dressing
Poor Leela is feeling the challenges of going blind. We serve her dinner in a pretty hefty ceramic bowl. Somehow her little 9 lb. self stepped on the edge of the bowl just right last night to send it flying and her dinner all over the floor. Poor thing was too nervous to go back […]
Charging into 2018 for the List
Whew, not even a week into 2018 and so much already! That’s cool, I’ve decided my theme for 2018 is more – more adventure, more family time, more friends, more fun, and more productivity. Sounds good, right? The pups have been happy to chill this weekend, it’s been cool, foggy, and overcast with some rain […]
Feisty Good Dressing
Miko has been a little blue the last few days, he got used to us spending more time with him for the holidays and not happy about us getting back the grind. He is so eager to play when we’re home shoving his new toy in our faces while we’re trying to watch TV. Can’t […]
Getting Over 2017 for the List
First, Happy New Year! It’s been an interesting week here, but nice to quiet down a little since I came down with a cold after Christmas that has been ripping through the office and family, then poor hubby got it shortly after which is thankfully much better. Miko has been enjoying his Christmas gift – […]
Time to Chill
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. The last few days have been a blur here in a good but stressful way. I’ve said it before, but for me the day after Christmas feels more like Christmas as a time to relax after all the chaos and stress and really enjoy the gifts and decorations […]
Super Garlic Tahini Dressing
We’ve made it past the halfway point of the week and the holidays are getting closer. These two snuggle buddies are ready. With the holidays comes our department holiday potluck and white elephant gift trade. I have a love/hate relationship with potlucks, I tend to over stress about what to bring bordering on I want […]
Drama and Eats for the List
Jeez, another weekend went by too fast. The last week was long, stressful, and filled with drama as they usually are before the holidays and I’m a little burned out. Having a sweet lap buddy to watch Christmas movies with us has been great. And getting a decent run outside this morning was good to […]
