By the look of Sasha in the photo below, you might assume that she is excited about the food in her bowl, and that she is licking her chops in anticipation. Well, you would be wrong if that is what you assumed. We were too! I mixed up some yummy food that I know Sasha […]
When Sasha came home from her visit to NC State Friday of last week, she was clearly uncomfortable and in pain. During a previous visit to the vet school, Dr. Hauck had suggested that we increase the amount of Tramadol that we were giving Sasha in an effort to better manage her pain. At that […]
We’ve been living in Raleigh, North Carolina since 2005, and we haven’t taken a trip to the mountains in over seven years. It’s not that we didn’t care to visit the high country. We were actually excited about the idea of exploring Asheville, Mt. Mitchell, and the Blue Ridge Parkway before we even made the move […]

When […]

What you don’t know – because we have been busy, and lazy – is that the rest of gang also celebrated their […]
Though I missed the Thursday motivations’ posts, I am going to reduce the number of post I do of these a month.
Now that we have entered a new year, I wonder what happened to the old one. Don’t get me wrong, 2012 had some long days, weeks, and months for me what with being unemployed and searching endlessly for a job, Sasha’s cancer diagnosis, and other things that I won’t bore you with, but now that […]
