I looked out the window to see McGee staring into the yard from the deck. I thought it odd to find him in an upright position. Usually I find him exposing his tummy to the sunshine, sound asleep with his tongue hanging out of his mouth and his eyes rolled back into his head. (He...

“Yuck and Awe”
The kids found a snake and begged me to take photos of it. Yeah right. Nikon doesn’t make a lens long enough to coax me into snake photography, so Daniel took this photo which I happen to think is quite stunning. (Way to think composition, Dan! Way to know aperture and focal points!) Also, I am...
Thanks alot, Connie!
McGee’s first momma, Connie, sent me a photo of her new baby, Louise, because Connie is just mean like that. I’m starting to think that McGee needs a wife. Darren doesn’t think so because he’s just mean like that. I’m surrounded by mean people! I think baby Basset Hounds are the cutest things on earth...

He knows how to work the eyebrows!
my own little circus
Basset Hounds, I’ve learned, are driven by their noses. When I let McGee outside to go to the bathroom he immediately puts his nose to the ground and becomes deaf to my voice. All my voices, actually. There’s the serious mom voice that stops my teenagers from throwing footballs in the house and there’s the...
Next on the Jerry Springer Spaniel Show
Sometimes I just want to cuddle with my puppy so I invite him to join me on the couch to watch reruns of NCIS. We both curl up under a soft blanket and remain that way for a relaxing 2.8 seconds. My plan is always interrupted by the sharp sensation of a couple dozen needles...
It’s our favorite time of day
Just so you know, I do have two-sided conversations with our dog.
Bonker Face
I wish every day could be like today. I was able to spend the day with my mom who not only motivated my children to be helpful and productive WITHOUT THEM ARGUING BACK, she also bought party foods and then helped me prepare dinner. It was wonderful. Our shared day made me feel connected with...
But dang, if that ain’t cute!
McGee is like that kid at camp who so desperately wants to make a friend that his behavior becomes OVERLY friendly, obnoxiously friendly, and he ends up alienating himself. It’s a good thing the experience of being shunned by the cat was soon forgotten as McGee became fixated on an especially tall blade of delicious...
