Everything I love about this experience are the things he hates (the nice drive up, the nature sounds, the change of place). Oh well, being in a couple means making compromises. And I pay for everything, so he has to put up with doing stuff I want to do that he doesn’t.

Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am having a PJ day, assisted by curbside pick up and sweatpants that fit over PJs. But that’s no reason y’all can’t talk.
Continue readingThis was a lowkey adopt-a-versary this year, just the two of us, he got an extra long walk and a cookie from my parents and a present that I ordered last minute because I almost forgot. But the People of DCIB requested an Albie photo post in honor of his Special Day, so here you are!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am so glad to have my nice warm house. I woke up early and did our watchalong, than ran a bunch of errands, then walked the dog, and then was SO COLD. It’s not super super cold here, just around 7 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it’s warm enough that if I dress for it I don’t realize how cold I am. Until I come home and go “wow, I was outside way too long! I am so cold!”

Continue readingI got my couch!!!! FINALLY! Such joy, such beauty!!! And now I can sleep in the living room with all the Christmas lights on around me. Take THAT, grief and Seasonal Affective Disorder!!!!
Continue readingSometimes you just have to start the day with a cute dog photo.
Continue readingI was gonna just put up a comment with all the answers on the original post, but I thought this would be more fun. Original post here: A New Game! Nephew or Albie Dog???
Continue readingMy nephew is 2 years old, and Albie Dog is 3 years old, and apparently they are exactly lined up. Don’t know how long this will last, presumably at some point my nephew will get smarter than a dog, or my Albie Dog will get less energetic than a 2 year old human. But right now, perfection!
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I have been soooooooo productive! Home Depot, Goodwill, Costco, and then came home and organized my dining room and guest room and put away all my Costco stuff, and now I am taking a break before building my guest room bed. First guest is staying with me next weekend! Woot!
Continue readingReady for your occasional Albie Dog Update? For those of you who like that sort of thing? And the rest of you can just ignore it.
Continue readingYes, it is a whole variety of things with which I need help/advice/sympathy!!!! And I feel like, among the DCIB community, we should be able to solve ALL of them.
Continue readingRamadan Kareem! If I were Muslim, I would get to wake up early and eat a ton of a food, and then stay up late and eat a ton of food. I suppose I could do that anyway just for fun, but it wouldn’t be the same without the big family/social aspect.
Continue readingAccording to all the sales emails I am getting from various pet stores/websites, it is National Puppy Day today! And I am feeling lazy, so I am going to torture you with an entire post of Albie Dog photos.
Continue readingI have thought since birth that I could run things better than my parents, and around age 6 I realized I could run things FAR better than God. Most days I manage to live with my disappointment in the inferiority of those in charge, but today I am GRUMPY, and I have NOTES.
Continue readingI was going to give him cake later in the evening as a post-dinner dessert, like we usually do it for the Humans. And then I realized that would throw off his walk schedule, so I gave it to him with dinner. Anyway, he LOVED his cakes!
Continue readingI am SO ENJOYING this festive day! And he would too, if he had any concept of time, past, present, future, or really any thoughts at all in his dumb little head beyond “cold, warm, blanket, food”.
Continue readingTerrible news! We had our annual vet appointment this morning and I was SHAMED and HUMILIATED and JUDGED.
Continue readingYes, it is an animal photo post! Because that is the kind of warm loving community we are, and also sometimes you just want to see dogs in snow.
Continue readingSo exciting! Coming up on year 2 of having Albie dog!!!! It’s easy to remember, because the shelter really pushed for me to pick him up on the last day of February so they could fluff up their monthly numbers (February being the shortest month, their adoption total was always low).
Continue readingHappy post! Mostly because I have a really cute photo of both Albie Dog and Nephew, so I thought I should share.
Continue readingDon’t worry, this is very light cruelty. We are in Happy Place land for sure. But there were three things I was just thinking about and I want us all to compare them.
Continue readingWhat joy for us all! Filmikudhi and Maria both sent me dog photos. Because what is Christmas, if not taking cute photos of confused doggies?
Continue readingFirst, don’t feel too bad for him. I just bought him a bunch of Christmas presents to make up.
