Eloise

Eloise Via Flickr: I don’t know what came over me. We weren’t going to be buying any new animals for some time, now that we have a new [human] baby in the house. But she’s a Weimaraner, and she’s a blue. And I’m not sure that she’s figured this kid out yet, but Eloise has… Continue reading Eloise

The First Camping Trip

While Balthazar’s first camping trip was actually over just before 10:00pm, he did get some good exposure to camp-life and the adventures that surround it.

If knocking into… Continue reading Pogo

I love new product commercials for products you never thought you needed. They’re always pitching some great new product that *fix* the way you used to do it. Of course, the people they show doing it the old way are complete oafs. Who are these idiots that can’t pick up hotdogs with tongs, pour-out spaghetti,… Continue reading In Just Three Easy Payments of $19.99…
