Arm Knitting a Massive Blanket
Hi! Remember me? I’m the girl that used to post on here kind of frequently. Sorry I got all tangled up in everything else and let the blog slide. A few things happened. I climbed some mountains with Ivan. We visited family for some holidays. We redid the floor in our den. Also I’m pregnant,…

Out With the Old, In With the New (toys, that is)
Babe doesn’t get excited about toys. She never has. Occasionally she’ll lay down and chew on a rubber toy, but that only happens once or twice a month. Babe is more of a food-driven pup. And when she’s not eating, she’s snoozing. It’s a nice, even life for her. Banjo is extremely toy-driven. When she’s…

Cooling Off
We’ve had some pretty hot days recently, temps hovering in the low to mid-90s. Our house stays pretty cool, thankfully, maintaining the chilly evening air that we let in as we sleep. First thing in the mornings, we close up all of the windows and draw some blinds. It works pretty well. We’ve only used…

This is the Birthday Cake We Gave Our Dog

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.

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

Happy Birthday (Adopt-aversary) Pig Dog!
Eight years ago, Babe came to us as a freezing, abandoned dog. Now she’s eating birthday cake!

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

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!
