New year New me. January has a way of igniting a spark in us to start something new, and this familiar phrase is one that we have all heard or used around this time every year. Creating goals, diet plans and workout routines are usually high on most peoples list of things to accomplish throughout the year. While these things are all good and we have the best intentions, how many of us actually follow through with all the stipulations…
Today at midnight, only about a week after I wrote my last post about our doggies, Jake took his last breath and passed away. He went in our arms at home. I thought I was prepared ya know? We had a few scares with him before but every time he would pull out of it. We knew this time was different. We made sure he was comfortable on his bed, we propped his head up and covered him with warm…
I’m the kind of gal that you will always find with a pup or two, or more.. by my side. While animals can be a load of work they are also our best buddies and most loyal companions.

“You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round” by Dead or Alive I sent this song with a snap today and It got me thinking. Do you ever feel like your life takes you round and round and you can’t seem to catch a break? Those days where peace seems out of your grasp or lingers for too short of a time? You get home from work only to let your 3 dogs…
