Normally I'd be pouring on my photographic genius today because it's Thursday and you know how I look forward to Beth's You Capture challenges...but this week the topic was "kindred" and I have to say that's a toughie for me since most of my kinfolk live in the US. So...
Hello furry (and not so furry) friends! What an exciting week it has been! This weekend was our big Thanksgiving party with a bunch of my friends and I had the best time loving on them. It nearly made up for the fact that Mackenzie got a huge pile of presents two days...

Happy hump day to you, friends! I have a shocking revelation for you today. I'm so stunned I don't even know if I can form the words. It's just devastating. Maybe a photo will show you what the problem is: Do you see it? Oh, I just can't believe it! Not sure what I'm...
Alya has been a member of our family for almost 5 years now and although I've had some interesting pets in the past, Ayla is by far the kookiest dog I've ever had. I've learned many things from our dog, and she's already made a huge impression on Mackenzie, so I...
