And Now, New England
So Much Has Changed For four months I’ve been telling myself that I need to post something. And it’s not that I don’t have anything to say. And it certainly isn’t that I haven’t taken photos to tell the story. It’s just that so much has changed, where do I start and where do I […]

Happy Birthday Banjo
So, yesterday was Banjo’s birthday and, between me being out of town all last week and Ivan pushing through his last few weeks of clinical rotations, we darn near missed it! Talk about a tragedy! But of course we didn’t miss it. I picked up Banjo’s birthday cake on Monday and, since I was already […]

A Light Dims
Sometime between Monday, February 15, 2016 and thirty-two years ago, Grandma stopped perming her hair. And however distinctly I remember those meticulously perfect, white curls, I can’t seem to recall when the dainty spirals unrolled into a chin-length sheet of almost-straight, still-perfectly-white hair. But there was a moment when I couldn’t reach up any more […]

Life is Crazy, But the Dogs Still Love Me
I’m going to make a little admission here: my life is somewhat insane right now. In 6 weeks (holy crap balls!) Ivan will be receiving an email that is going to change our lives. He’s been interviewing for the past 2 months for residency positions all over the country. Ivan’s not the only one, either. Medical […]

Banjo’s First Winter
It’s been over a week now since the big winter storm hit Brooklyn (and the entire northeast coast). It was the first real snowfall we’ve received all winter and Banjo’s first experience with winter. Babe is not a huge fan of snow or cold or leaving the warmth of our bed when either snow or […]

Babe is a Blonde… or Maybe a Brunette
I got some wigs. I’m not really sure why except that I really enjoy using props when I take photos and I’m always looking for something fun and new. For example, I have a roll of burlap, two 10×20-ft. sheets of muslin fabric, a 6×35-ft. roll of white paper and three 2-ft.-sq. vinyl decorative background […]

The Dangers of this Pit Bull
Dangerous, unpredictable and equipped with nasty, pointy teeth, this pit bull is definitely to be avoided.

Babe, It’s Cold Outside
It’s mid-January and winter finally found Brooklyn. Today I woke up and glanced at the weather app. It was 17 degrees. Brrr! Though, it did warm up to a balmy 28 degrees today. With the wind, the “feels like” gauge read 18 degrees. Ugh… I knew it was coming, but I’m never prepared for these […]

Banjo’s Popularity
Banjo’s popularity with the neighbors is a real win-win since she gets to socialize with children.

What’s in a Name? (A Lot of Letters that Don’t Belong)
Is it an uncommon name or just fun to spell uncommonly, because the mistakes I get around here are bonkers!

Eight years ago, Babe came to us as a freezing, abandoned dog. Now she’s eating birthday cake!

The Pig Dog Calendar
Babe reached a cuteness level that called for her very own calendar!

Au Revoir 2015
2015 is gone, but I’m not making any resolutions for 2016

Yes, Babe is a Jammie-Wearing She-Elf
On the hunt for pajamas for Babe, I realize that they might not be made large enough for her big rump!

When Mega-Bed Isn’t Enough
The dogs have something of a princess-and-the-pea issue going on.

Foggy Christmas Morning
Unlike most years, this Christmas morning was perfect for a visit to the dog park, and Banjo agreed!

Babe the Lioness
I have been known to dress up my dogs. I put clothes (made for dogs) on them for a few reasons: They have very short fur and Babe, especially, gets cold easily. In the winter months, she’s either wearing a sweatshirt or hiding under blankets. Putting a pink hoodie (or other cute article of clothing) on […]

Search for the Custom Dog Tag
In a world drowning in die-cut pet tags, I decided to find someone who could make a unique ID for our Banjo!

Puppy Rumpus Time Every Day!
The dogs like to tear apart our bedroom every day, playing and tumbling. But I don’t mind, because Babe has a best friend again!
