The First Two Days Of Dog Ownership

September 5, 2007

I do believe that I might have come across one of the sweetest dogs of all time. There are so many good things about Cleo. She hardly makes any noise; I’ve only heard her bark once. She loves everybody and gives cute little kisses that aren’t overwhelming. She’s extremely calm, which is perfect for apartment living. She knows how to sit and shake, and she’s pretty good at “come.” This morning, as I was rushing out the door she squirted past my legs and ran to the stairs (we live on the third floor). But when I said, “Cleo, no!” she stopped, and when I said, “Cleo, come!” she came back inside! I think that’s pretty amazing for our second…

Meet Cleo

September 2, 2007

  Beagle/ Hound mix, female, 2 years, brown/white. The lady that found me has two dogs and can’t keep me. I get along with older kids, adults, other dogs and am very quiet and sweet. I already know some commands and would love to learn more with you! Come and take me to my forever home! My roommate Amanda and I adopted her today! I have been wanting a dog for an extremely long time, so this is a momentous occasion. We didn’t actually get to bring her home today, because she still has to be spayed. But we pick her up tomorrow, and then I can get much better pictures. I love her already!

I’ve been trying to eat healthier for about 6 weeks now. And even though I’d like to be, I am not a cook. I just haven’t had the time to get in to that yet. But sometimes it’s really helpful to make things myself: for the variety, because it can be cheaper, and healthier too. So I’m going to give you a recipe now, but since this is the first time I’ve done this I’m going to make some caveats which will hold for all future recipes (if, indeed, there are any to follow): a) This won’t be fancy, but when I do give you a recipe it’s going to be quick, easy, good, and healthy. At least in my…

First Day Of School

August 27, 2007

Growing up my mom always demanded that she take my brothers and I to school on the first day instead of us riding the bus so that she could take our pictures. When we were younger this wasn’t such a big deal, but once high school rolled around I was pretty embarrassed about it. She kept telling us that we’d appreciate it, and deep down I knew she was right, but it didn’t seem worth it at the time. Of course, now I am glad that we will have those pictures to look back on, and sometime soon I hope to dig them out of her photo box. I let the tradition lapse for awhile in college, but today as…
