My hubby’s not a time traveler but I feel like he plays one in a movie. Sorta. 🙂 I guess I should explain, LOL!

Confession time. I’m not as good at recycling as I would like to be. I’m an unorganized person to begin with when it come to physical space. So the idea of separating my trash into multiple bins sends my ADHD brain into overdrive. (I can barely keep track of when it’s trash day in time…

Meet Sam!

Don’t underestimate the power of the quiet ones! Our old beagle Trooper was a quiet fella who didn’t pay any attention to our most social dog Sadie. So when Trooper died, we underestimated the impact it would have on Sadie. After we lost Trooper, Sadie quit eating and searched for him in the house compulsively….
