Usually we call Sadie “Sadie”, “Sadie Pie” or “Sadie Pot Pie” but I think I’m going to call her Scratchy McScratcherton instead. I woke up after 2 hours of sleep (so, at 1:30 am) and got out of bed after being unable to go back to sleep. I wanted to research some stuff on the…

Early days…
Life with three dogs is interesting! At one point this morning, Gene was in his office and I was in the living room. Sadie voluntarily got up on the sofa next to me and everything was great. But then Gene came into the room and Sadie made a desperate lunge to get back off the…
Sadie!
Sadie is here! She’s a little shy and so far Betty is not thrilled about there being another girl dog in the house, but it’s going pretty well overall. Scooby is excited to have a “big” dog to play with finally.
Things I have done this week…
Holy cow, it’s Friday. WOOHOO! 1) Wednesday, we had to print all of the paychecks that normally print in our Midwest office. Lots of scurrying and insanity ensued, finally ending at 7 pm when we made our UPS salesman (?) pick up our 40 packages and drive them to the UPS center at the Cheesecake…
Good things come in threes…
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….
May your days be merry and bright…
and may all your Boxing Days be whiiiiiite… So we have snow on the ground here in Cheesecake City. (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…
95
So, when I was a little girl (I would refer to myself as Lil Elaine, but the word “Lil” makes me want to puke), I had a Grandma. Well, of course I had two Grandmas, both of whom were splendid in their own (and very, very, verrrrry different) ways. I have only the best memories…
20 Years Ago Today…
Twenty years ago today Mom took me to see Fleetwood Mac. I wore (going from head to toe): the worst perm of my life, a black and white checked ‘boyfriend jacket’ (with some sort of tshirt underneath), a hilariously short skirt and….well, I don’t remember the shoes. Before the concert, we went to dinner at…
One sick puppy…
So, Betty has a lump on her face. Actually, let me start this way: Twenty years ago my family had a dachshund named Max and he had a lump in his crotch. It was a lymphoma and Mom and Dad spent a lot of time and money getting Max the best treatment possible, including a…
Scooby & Betty: The Origin Story
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. I took a look at the Pets for Sale…
