This week our girl turned five. She’s been a part of our family for three and a half years now and not a day goes by that we are not thankful we became her furever family. She is incredibly sweet and she makes us laugh all the time. Every yearRead More →
Hope goes to the groomer’s about every 5 weeks. She’s got short hair, so she doesn’t need to be trimmed, but she does get a bath, ear cleaning and nail trim. We brush her teeth at home and she cleans herself like a cat, so she doesn’t get too dirty.Read More →
I decided to take Hope to the dog park on Saturday because it was gorgeous and sunny and 60 degrees and she hadn’t been in months. What I did not anticipate was in the spots that it wasn’t icy, it was extremely muddy and we were literally sloshing around theRead More →
Jay and the girls were at a rock concert on Halloween, so it was just Hope and I at home handing out candy. Last year, I was so impressed with her. She was still new to us, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. She didn’t bark or growl orRead More →

Whenever our friends Tom and Rhonda come over, they always bring Hope a present. It’s typically a rawhide treat, which is something she doesn’t get very often, because we know it’s not the absolute best thing for her, but once in a while, we allow it. This weekend they broughtRead More →
Just a little cuteness because it’s Friday and it’s a 3 day weekend and because Hope is so adorable that I can’t keep her to myself. I have to share. Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice that our service menRead More →
