I feel like I’m never satisfied! By mid January I’m fantasizing about July, the sun, tank tops and flip flops. Today, I’m dreaming of a “White Christmas” – go figure…

Temperatures in this region are relentless. For the past several days now we’ve been knocking previous temperature records out of the proverbial park! This is what’s become our “new normal”…

This should take care of what’s going on “behind the scenes” and tomorrow I’m sure he’ll be good as new!…

TRUE STORIES: While sitting at my desk writing this post, my pawputer “dinged” and I saw an email from Tammy, our anipal at The Uncommon Dog. She was reaching out to ask if I would share this infographic they’ve created on dog safety during these hot months. I thought pawfect timing!…

Hope you have a doodle*licious day unlike any other – thanks for reading, WOOF!
