Puppy Cam

This is one of the cutest uses of technology I’ve seen in a while. This is a great way to share a litter’s first few days/weeks with friends and family.

Indi is Missing

About a year ago, we had to find a new home for Indigo. We just couldn’t provide what he needed. He went to live with Matthew on dozens of acres and has been such a good dog for Matthew and his family. They hunt together and Indi goes with Matthew when he goes horseback riding [...]

So today, I’m running some errands when I get pulled over by a cop. Since I was sitting at a red light, I couldn’t imagine why. I looked in the bottom corner of my windshield and I knew. DAMMIT.
Emil and I never miss inspection or registration. We are so careful since it’s so easy/cheap. I [...]
