Happy 14th Birthday, Ringo!
on July 07, 2016 at 1:28 pm
Happy 14th birthday to my "little brother" and favorite curmudgeon, Ringo! My mother adopted Ringo from a local shelter in July of 2010. He had been brought up from the south and surrendered to a shelter in Springfield, MA. At the time, Ringo weighed just 12 lbs. We could practically count his ribs. He was anxious and barking in the crate at the shelter, and to this day crates give him extreme anxiety. Half of his ...

Dog Greeting Cards & the Art of Snail Mail
on March 02, 2016 at 5:03 pm
I just came in from retrieving my mail, and as usual there were only a handful of generic flyers and an invoice or two in my mailbox. What ever happened to the art of writing letters? It is rare for me to pop open my mailbox to find a handwritten card or note, but when I do, I truly savor every word. Getting snail mail from loved ones absolutely brightens my entire day, ...
Your Furry Valentine
on February 10, 2016 at 4:35 pm
There are generally three types of people, those who dread Valentine's Day, those who adore it, and those who are indifferent to this holiday. Personally, I enjoy any excuse to be reminded of how important my loved ones are to me, and I believe that even the smallest gestures make our days special. Of course, you don't need a reserved day to show your loved ones how much they mean to you, ...

It is hard to believe that Christmas is almost here! I have been knitting around the clock to get holiday orders out to cozy, happy customers, and I am happy to say that I completed my final custom knit Christmas order this morning. While typing is still keeping my hands busy, it is nice to pry my fingers away from the knitting needles for a few hours, though I will be picking ...
