Every morning, like clockwork, my middle pup stakes out the sun spot. You know the one — that little slice of golden warmth on the rug between the hours of 9:00 and 10:15. And every morning, he lies in it like he discovered electricity. He doesn’t care that […]
Some days, I work from home. Some days, I try to work from home. And some days, I resign myself to the fact that my dachshund is actually the one running the house. Because he will bark. At. Nothing. A speck of dust? Bark. A leaf that dared […]
Last week I wrote about my dogs’ live of sitting on the remote control. Then it got me thinking about how I’d like to dedicate a weekly column to them. Let’s see if I can indeed keep it going. I’ll probably write more than just one post about […]

It’s that special time of year—one filled with twinkling lights, family traditions, and way too many sugar cookies. But in our home, we’re not just decked out for Christmas.
