Blog Guilt

Star Prairie, Wisconsin
May 29, 2010


I feel badly that I have neglected my blog lately. My only explanation is that our last six weeks have been packed with: one major surgery, one business trip, and two personal vacations among other things. I'm excited to settle into a fun (albeit scorching) Texas summer.

I've been thinking I'd expand the blog focus a little beyond just the dog topics; that way I'll have more to write about and can share a broader perspective of this doggy mom's life. And at any rate it's my blog, and I'll do what I want to! Ha ha. I have absolutely been loving the fashion & beauty blogs that I follow, and even they seem to write beyond fashion & beauty to include lifestyle and personal updates. Another thing I have noticed about those blogs is that they pretty much blog 5-6 times a week. It keeps readers entertained and keeps the blog fresh and moving. Not that I am entertaining readers, but I like the idea of keeping a blog as a sort of a modern evolving journal.

Ok, I think that's enough of this late night babble. Until next time...

My Pup Nephew, Vincent

I went home from July 16 -23; it was a wonderful vacation. The weather was gorgeous, and I was reminded of how beautiful Wisconsin is - particularly where my family lives. I loved spending time with my awesome friends and family, including Vinnie Poo-Poo or "Pookie Bear". Vincent is a rescue from the Humane Society. He is a senior dog who had Lyme's Disease when my family adopted him. They treated his condition, and now he is living the good life.

It was strange to have only ONE small dog around. Especially when that one dog is old and cranky - not like the cuddle bugs I am used to. He is well cared-for and loved to bits. Here is a picture of Vinnie:
