Happy 2nd Birthday Murphy!

Two years ago today the skies grew dark over Hannibal, Missouri as this crazy knob entered the world. In two years he went from this: To this: Lin-Manuel Miranda said this about his dog Tobillo… 7 years ago we spent…

Ollie and Murphy: a quiet moment

(and a sliver of WM in the background)

Murphy: Downward facing dog

Murphy is allowed on sofas and beds, yet he loves lying on my yoga mat. One thing’s for sure — he has savasana down pat.

Ollie: Things are looking up

His ears are clear, his gums are healed and Ollie’s back in a good season of life. When we go for walks he keeps up the pace with little effort. We’re up to three blocks, whereas in the spring he…

Ollie: selfie

I captured this picture of Ollie underneath my patio chair. You can see that because his one lower fang is gone, his tongue droops out of the side of his mouth sometimes. You can’t tell when his mouth is closed,…

Murphy: Seatfiller trainee

When one of us gets up from our office chairs, this is what we find when we return. If there is ever an awards show that has dogs in the audience, I have the perfect seatfiller for them!

Currently, pre-squish edition

Sitting here: While I’ll be sad to see summer go, I’m pleased that I squeezed in so much outdoor time. Instead of dorking on the internet for a half hour in between each household task, I just do all of…

Happy Ollie

Despite being plagued by allergies, a sore neck, Murphy, ear infections, and a bout of digestive issues*, Ollie is still a happy, drooly goofball. *caused by me trying to switch his food. I went so, so, so very slowly and…

Ollie outtake

This was going to be the photo for yesterday’s Show Us Your Books post. Dramatically exhausted Ollie never fails to please!

Ollie + Murphy + Chewy = LOVE

(I initially typed “Max” up there. Sniff.) This isn’t a sponsored post* at all. I just wanted to put out there how happy I have been with Chewy and the amazing customer service they provide. Ollie eats special food because…

Friday 5: Aroma

It was a bumpy readjustment coming back from Florida. On Monday, Dad and I ventured to Camp Holly for an airboat ride, which was JUST as amazing as it sounds! Camp Holly is pretty nice, with beer that flows, an…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
