Without question, I am a huge animal lover, the kind of person who stops in the middle of the street for a stray dog, who wants to ride the elephants and pet the zebras at the zoo. However, I draw the line at critters in my house. Domestic animals, no problem. Little furry creatures that [...]

4 Weeks of Updates
Posted in Baby G, family, pets, vacations on September 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I really thought I’d be more on top of things this semester, but considering the fact that it’s been 4 weeks since my last post, it seems I’m severely delusional! The last 4 weeks have been crazy busy, packed with lots of fun stuff and lots of trips to EDH! Let’s go back to Labor [...]
Happy Birthday, Miss Marlie!!

Marlie is 8 years old today! Seems like just yesterday she was curling up on our shoulders to nap – well, she still does that on occasion but now she’s 15 pounds heavier! Another birthday means more homemade treats for the pugs. I made two giant bones for today and a bunch of smaller ones [...]
Memorial Day adventures

Last weekend, Jimmy & I took the pugs to their favorite place in the world…Nana & Poppy G’s backyard! I think they must have known where we were headed because they were exceptionally well behaved on the ride over. As usual, Marlie & Jett spent hours marking every square inch of the yard. We had [...]
Snow Makes Me Crazy…a post by Marlie
Posted in pets on December 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
After spending five days taking long walks, running around my grandparent’s backyard and basking in the sun, being cooped up in this apartment is no fun. It’s been colder than usual outside so we haven’t been on many walks lately. Not that we’d have time anyway since mom and dad are always upstairs on the [...]

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve posted. Thanksgiving road trip, 30th birthday and finals have kept me pretty busy. Let’s pick up where we left off, then next week, I’ll be sure to post some of my favorite recipes for you. After all, I have seven weeks off to spend in the [...]
An Amazing Day at Lake Tahoe
Posted in pets, Reno perks on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Lake Tahoe – it goes without saying that this is definitely deserving of the top spot on the “best things about Reno” list…and worthy of a post all to itself! Yesterday afternoon, Jimmy and I packed the pugs in the car and headed to Incline Village to visit our friend Todd who lives just blocks [...]
Happy Birthday, Jett!!

Today is Jett’s 6th birthday! He started his day like any spoiled birthday boy would, homemade treats and lounging on the patio with Marlie. The first picture is them sitting like good little dogs as I dangle treats over their heads and try to take a picture at the same time! The weather was perfect for [...]
Labor Day adventures

Once again, I’m behind on posting! Sorry for the delay Jimmy and I took the pugs on a road trip to California last weekend. The pugs are not the best car dogs ever, but with Jett’s help driving, we managed to get to San Francisco around 10pm Friday night. We spent two fantastic days exploring [...]
Meet my kids…

Wow, only 2 weeks into this blog and I’m already a slacker! I’ve been going to school people, I have a good excuse…right??? Well, since I imagine there will be many future posts about my furry four-legged children, I think it’s only appropriate that you have a proper introduction. This is the story of how [...]
