Let’s get one thing straight: a horse isn’t climbing a tree anytime soon. Not today, not tomorrow, not even if you bribe it with organic apples and serenade it with Taylor Swift’s latest album. A horse is built to gallop across fields, not swing from branches like a […]
I recently stumbled across a quote I had scribbled down at some point in my life, buried in a note, between grocery lists and half-baked blog titles: “A narrow mind and a fat head invariably come on the same person.”— Zig Ziglar Wait, what? I blinked. Then blinked […]
You ever get that look? That “Are you mad at me?” look. That “Why aren’t you responding to my third message in 30 seconds?” That “You’re being quiet and I don’t like it” energy? Yeah. That one. Well here’s the thing: I’m not being distant. I’m buffering. Like […]
My middle dog doesn’t fake the funk. He’s not trying to win “Most Friendly” at the pup park. He’s not wagging his tail for just anyone. He is who he is: a slightly grouchy, highly discerning, unapologetically real little guy with a face like “Don’t even.” And yet—he’s […]

Sometimes the big dog dreams he’s running. His paws twitch. His tail flicks. Sometimes he lets out a soft little “boof” — the sound of chasing something glorious through dog dreamland. Is it a squirrel? A cloud? A giant meatball rolling down the sidewalk? Who knows. But he […]
Some folks hear the word “boundary” and act like you just slapped their emotional support latte out of their hand. “Why are you being mean?” they ask, as if choosing not to carry their chaos is somehow a federal offense. But let me say it louder for the […]
