Bah humbug sheep socks, & Charlie Brown Christmas-like holiday woes

We got our Christmas tree up. It gave my husband a rash on his arms after he cut it down and carried it in. Oh, yeah... we forgot that variety does that. We got the same one a couple of years ago. We should probably write that down somewhere. We walked around for a good… Continue reading Bah humbug sheep socks, & Charlie Brown Christmas-like holiday woes

Our Puppy Maple turned 14 weeks on Friday. After her puppy class last weekend, which my husband said went really well, he brought her to my son's soccer game. Maple did fantastic!

Our puppy Maple turned 11 weeks old this past Friday. We finally got her in for her follow up vet tech appointment to get a vaccine.
