Where’s the remote? Under the dachshund. Where’s my phone? Also under the dachshund. Where’s the one document I need for this meeting that starts in 2 minutes? You guessed it: dachshund butt territory. He sits on the things I need most. But maybe, just maybe, he’s onto something. […]
Ah, Monday. The great illusionist. The David Blaine of the calendar. One moment it’s 8:00 a.m. and you’re mapping out your grand plans, whispering motivational quotes to yourself like you’re about to scale Everest in heels. And then—poof!—it’s 5:43 p.m., you’re unsure of what actually got done, and […]
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 […]

Some moments hit you out of nowhere, in the most unexpected ways. This morning, as I prepared for the usual walk to work, my son paused to make sure I was bundled up and had the right boots to avoid slipping on the ice. His thoughtfulness struck me—here […]
Ah, Friday. The day when I realize I’ve spent the entire week drowning in a sea of decisions, and yet, here I am, still afloat—barely. It’s like a never-ending game of mental gymnastics. Decisions. Decisions everywhere. Should I answer that email now or save it for Monday? Should […]
What do you complain about the most? I don’t know about you, but this week has felt like an entire year crammed into five measly days. A weekyear, if you will. You know that feeling? When every day drags on so much that by Wednesday, you’re convinced it […]
