I just finished reading Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene and found it to be a very interesting book. While the primary focus of the book is communicating to a parent how they may be able to have their baby out of diapers by the age of one, the...
A big woof to all my dog friends out there! Sorry it's been a while since I last barked at you but I have been busy trying to seduce all the boys in town because I was in heat! Oh what fun!! I even managed to convince a couple guys to run away from home...but mom...
I bought us a Baby Bjorn Synergy carrier a few weeks ago via eBay and know that it will be great for extended wearing, taking long walks, shopping excursions and so on. But I also think that I'll want to be wearing Mackenzie when I'm working around the house too and I...
Hello my doggie friends, Long time no bark! I've been oh so busy lately, enjoying the cool fall air and intimidating little dogs. And I am in heat again which always makes me a more interesting pup (or so my parents find.) I generally get a lot more antsy and active,...

Last Saturday was an unheard of event for us. We went to 4 different stores in one day, crossing a variety of things off our shopping lists. This may not sound like much of a feat but my husband is not a shopper. He would usually rather die than go into 4 different...
I need to distract myself in order to not vent yet again on the stupidity of people as I try to deal with some issues for our website, so I am going to write about the super cool catalog we got yesterday in the mail with baby & kid stuff in it. Otherwise I might...
Hello my dog friends! Hope you're all having a bark-o-licious week out there. It's been raining a lot here so I've been catching up on lots of sleep...but I heard a rumor from a very nice man who gave me some treats that the weather is supposed to get a bit better...
