The secret’s in the sauce.

07 November 05 - 08:06pm.

There’s a commercial out, or at least it was fairly recently, for a nifty little item called Iams Savory Sauce. This is a ketchup-style bottle of something that looks a bit like gravy, comes in bacon, chicken, and beef (though they call it Country Chicken and Homestyle Beef… as if the dog is [...]

And the MacGyver award goes to…

23 October 05 - 07:37pm.

So I decided to give Rhys the benefit of the doubt, closed up the bedrooms, gated off the kitchen and left him out while we went shopping. He’s more than proven himself.
We got home, and Rhys was in the window by the stairs. Brian unlocked the door. I tried to open it, [...]

My new puppy!

20 October 05 - 06:41pm.

This is Rhys, my new puppy! He’s absolutely fantastic. He loves to play but he calms down quickly when it’s time to chill. He listens to ‘no’, he knows how to sit, lay down, stay (for the most part), and wait (as in, wait until I set your food bowl down before [...]

Dumb cat.

29 May 05 - 09:33pm.

My roommate’s cat is a wuss. If you walk in his general vicinity he cowers. The other morning I woke up and walked into the living room and he was behind the couch. I walked past him and he didn’t move. I shook my foot at him and he still didn’t [...]

Things that go bark in the night.

22 December 03 - 11:48pm.

So we’re sitting around earlier tonight and there’s some strange noises outside but it was decided that it was probably a snow mobile. I had the window open because it was stuffy in here.
So about an hour passes and suddenly there’s a loud noise outside. At first it was just a single eerie scream. [...]

I just wanted cake.

12 November 03 - 10:48pm.

I felt like hell yesterday. When I woke up this morning, there was white stuff on my tonsils. Great.
I went to the store this evening with the intention of buying some essentials. I came home with a case of Slimfast and 6 boxes of cake mix.
I made one of the Angel Food cakes… [...]

The new addition comes home.

23 September 03 - 05:47pm.

Well, she’s home. And the sweetest little puppy ever. When she got inside, she immediately grabbed one of her toys and started chewing on it. Not entirely sure what to make of it, but she got many pets and hugs and treats for that. She doesn’t make much noise. I [...]

A new addition to the family.

20 September 03 - 04:48pm.

It was decided that the new pet of the house was to be a dog. The Michigan Humane Society actually had a pretty well put together site with photos and descriptions, but I had no way of knowing how up to date it was, as well as the fact that the site is for [...]
