It has been such a strange week. It started out like this: Which morphed into this: We put on a happy face, after all, the kids were all building snow forts and having a blast. The snow was going to melt, so no big deal, right? Yesterday morning I drove to yoga at my […]

Yesterday I heard a story on the radio about a Great Dane who had gotten very sick. The owners thought that he had eaten something strange, and so took him to the vet, who performed exploratory surgery. The vet found in the dog’s stomach 43 socks. Happily, the dog is on the mend and is […]
