Some people search for insight from all corners of the internet, their local corner bodega, or from their cable guy. Well, maybe. I’m lucky to have a dog couch. From their fluffy perches, my three furballs offer daily, unfiltered insight into the human condition and they don’t even […]
This morning, I locked eyes with my dog mid-coffee sip, and I swear he tilted his head and judged me. Not in a cute “aw you’re my human” way. No. It was more of a “hmm…interesting choices you’re making for yourself lately” kind of tilt. And I’ll be […]
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 […]
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 […]
You can tell which lipstick I’ve worn for the day—or even for the week—by simply looking at my dog’s forehead. Yes, you read that right. My small but mighty dachshund has become my unsuspecting beauty accessory, sporting my various shades of lipstick with what I like to think […]

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. The simplest things in life can sometimes be the best. It’s that simple. A cup of gumbo. A sour patch gummy. A puppy letting you know it’s dinner time. I get such joy and pleasure when […]
The dog woke me up at 7am and wanted a long walk. And, he was peppy. He did his business, sniffed the roses, and looked up at me with his brown/green eyes. I was going to take this to be his way of communicating “happy mother’s day” to […]
My sweet, sweet dog. He is a bit skittish and anxious. Yet, he is extremely playful and content in ripping a chew toy apart. In seeking moments of zen, he brings quiet and levity. He’s also a chameleon. He is a grey dog who, at times, looks blue. […]
