Welcome to my spiffy new blog. We're still transferring over some of my oldest posts, which can be found at the old site. In the meantime, I plan to update much more often. Considering my last entry was almost a year ago, that shouldn't be too hard! It's been quite a year, full of ups and downs. That may be putting it mildly. In January, my dear doggy sister Cosette died. She was 17 and lived a good, full life.

It's been hard and we all miss her terribly. We have added to the family since then, but I'll save that for another time.
