My family and I are hound-lovers. Ironic because my mother swore up and down when I was growing up that the first dog we would own would be a German Shepard. Controversially, my father said it would be a Golden Retriever. Instead, we got Abbey. Naturally, we all fell in love with the goofy-hound personality. Except… Continue reading Leccia
Everybody else enjoy their Super Bowl weekend? I did, but not for football related reasons. I went to visit my parents in Colorado this weekend, and enjoyed a little ski vacation.

I know there’s controversy about weather Christians should celebrate Halloween – since its origin is pagan. But honestly? I think of it more as an American tradition… Continue reading Fall
I adopted a dog this week. I’ve named her Winnie. It’s short for Winchester – like the hunting rifle. Because she is an American Foxhound mix. We think she is part Catahoula Leopard Dog too. But she’s not too interested in revealing her mysterious origins. She’s more interested in cuddles. Unless she can get you… Continue reading Winnie
