It’s this guy’s Gotcha Day! We’ve enjoyed four pretty awesome years together. I’m a pretty lucky gal. As a Tavishversary present, I told Tavish I’d try to post on the blog more often. Hold me to… One-fifth score & Tavish ears ago
It’s been a year today since I said goodbye to my best gal. It’s hard to believe that a whole year has passed. How has it been that long since she was here? I struggled… How do you measure a year?

This post is a part of the Caring for Critters Health Issues Round Robin hosted by Heart Like a Dog. As the adorable graphic suggests, pet bloggers will be sharing their personal experiences, health problems their pets have faced, and how we dealt with them. While we consulted veterinarians and specialists in determining our own course of treatment, we are not vets and nothing shared should be considered medical advice. Got it?

I planned to sit down and write today’s post after dinner. (So far, my #NaBloPoMo has been defined by a failure to plan ahead.) However, while eating dinner, I heard the news about Robin Williams. He died today at the age of 63, due to an apparent suicide. As I sit down to write tonight’s post, I find myself unable to write about my originally planned topic. Aye, there’s the rub…
… or, in this case, your Bella. I was thinking recently about all of the things – both little and not-so-little – that have changed around here since we lost Bella in May. Sometimes it… 20 ways to miss your Rover
Have you ever had one of those dreams that made you furiously happy and deeply sad at the same time? This past weekend, I had one of those dreams. In it, I was cleaning my… In my dreams, it’s still the same…
Hello, my friends. I know it’s been a while since I’ve written. I haven’t really felt all that much like blogging since I said goodbye to Bella. (Some days, I haven’t felt like doing much… Pupdate: I’m still here
This post is one I can’t believe I have to write. Today, our family said goodbye to Bella. We kissed this sweet face farewell, and life will never be the same. We have been managing… The unbearable absence of Bella
