Boy Meets Girl, Girl Meets Dog, Parrot...Snake

July 22, 2009 —

If two dogs are easier than one and three dogs equal anarchy, what will life with three dogs, one cat, a bilingual parrot and a snake mean for me?

Stranger Danger

July 13, 2009 —
I’ve had pregnant friends complain to me how aggravating it is when every person they encounter disregards all social graces and assumes it’s appropriate to touch their bellies. I get the same waves of awkwardness when strangers come up and pet my dogs without acknowledging me.
