Occasionally when we visit my brother’s home, the girls are embattled over a Chuck It ball as you can see below. Just like an old fashioned…

It’s been very rainy and gloomy here in South Carolina so a couple of days ago I decided to start busting out the Halloween decorations. This is our favorite time of year.

Product Review: ZigZag Wags Signature Collar

Product Review: ZigZag Wags Signature Collar

Cook was (kinda still is) growing like a weed.  His 2nd birthday is coming up on October 28th and he is pushing 80+lbs. Due to the fact that he is a healthy, growing boy, we have gone through toys, collars and leashes that he has just simply outgrown.

Me: “Oh really?  Then how do you explain the stuffed penguin massacre that I have seemed to walk into and the leftover stuffing hanging out of your mouth, Cook?”
