You heard it here first…(well, actually Facebook heard it first)… dog #3 is coming to live with us on February 12th or 13th. Her name is Sadie, she is a hound mix (definitely some beagle, probably some shepherd) and she is two years old. Gene and I met her and her foster parents last weekend. [...]

(Supposedly we had a white Christmas too, but it started after the sun went down so I couldn’t tell, as I did not leave the house all day). I remember the days when snow = two [...]

» Read the rest of this entry ...So, we adopted Scooby in June 2004 and Betty in August (?) 2004. They are not blood related (we get asked that a lot) and Scooby is about 6 (?) months older than Betty. Anyway, one day in early 2004, I was reading the Sunday newspaper.

Mom tried to get him to stop but then one day – and for the record, I had to Google this because I thought perhaps I was dreaming this – Dolly Parton was on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse [do you see why [...]
