My mom started....sewing?
December 17, 2009
I think my Mom has officially lost her mind. She whipped out her Grandmother's sewing machine and declared that she was going to make me a winter jacket. There are a few things very wrong with this situation: 1) She hasn't sewed since Home Economics which was a good 15 years ago and way before I was even thought about 2) …Read more »

Why hiding treats is a good idea
October 22, 2009
Here are my top five reasons for hiding treats 5. My friend Phoebe loves to come over because she always gets a free snack. 4. Hello, I've got to watch this girlish figure. If I ate everything my mom gave me I'd be a bowling ball. This is why I save them for my friends. 3. You just never know when you're going …Read more »
Sharing is overrated - I don't care what they say
October 18, 2009
Last night, I had a sleepover at my bestfriend's house. Her parents went to a wedding so my mom and dad offered to stay there and take care of Niko and her brother Bentley. Everything was going perfectly until my mom and dad came back from dinner. We have a routine at home... mom lays on the couch and I find a …Read more »
I made it - I'm T-W-O
October 15, 2009
I'm two. As is two-cute-for-words! Last week, I celebrated my birthday with my mom and dad. Honestly, it was kinda of lame. My mom promised to take me to the park at least three days in a row. One day, I got all suited up and made it into the car to learn that it was "too hot" to go play. …Read more »
Off Leash Bliss - Am I in Heaven?
September 1, 2009
My mom decided it was a brilliant idea to take me from Arizona to Boston via a very small black meshed bag. I wasn't a fan of this idea, but she gave me some tasty purple tablets (aka Childrens Bendryl) which made me sleepy. Before I knew it, I was visiting this place that she calls home. The first night was …Read more »
Going to Camp Niko
July 24, 2009
One of the hardest things to do as a puppy mama is go on vacation and leaving your baby behind. I can't even begin to imagine what it would feel like to leave a human baby with a sitter - I can barely handle the dog thing. I'm lucky to have such great pet-loving people in my life so Copley doesn't have to stay at …Read more »
Caught in a Dusty Rainstorm
July 22, 2009
One of the things you learn when you move from the East Coast to the Desert is that you absolutely have no idea what a real storm is. Sure, growing up we had the occasional Northeast Hurricane or Winter Snowstorm. But, the weatherman gives you days to prepare. Not here in Arizona, you are lucky if you get a 30 second warning …Read more »
Learning to Hula Hoop...?
July 20, 2009
Because it is so hot here in Arizona, tonight is the last night of Agility classes until the Fall. And, with the increasing temperatures we've been avoiding out frisbee sessions as well. I'm concerned about keeping Copley in top notch shape so we can quickly get back to competiton in the fall. To keep her mind active and continue to build …Read more »
On the frontline: The Red Ant Army
July 16, 2009
Yesterday morning, our daily routine was interrupted by an army of ants. First I saw Copley start dancing, then they got me. I started dancing. (For onlookers I'd image that both of us were doing the "Elaine from Seinfeld" dance, yeah!) My feet are covered in welts and are buring - now I know whey they call them fire ants. It burns! The …Read more »
