I bought the pillow to help decorate my spartan little apartment the year of my divorce. At the time you never could have convinced me all of the love that would eventually surround it. 2007 2016 2018
Ollie and Murphy: a quiet moment
(and a sliver of WM in the background)
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,…
Ollie: please fence me in
Ollie, a very well-behaved dog from day 1, never needed a crate. We just had to make sure he was away from the litterboxes when we had them. Murphy was a crate puppy because that’s what he was used to…
Friday 5: Repeat
Happy Friday! On Saturday. Yeah. I’m glad this week is over, as Ollie had dental cleaning/extractions on Tuesday. This is the capstone of our multi-month effort to make Ollie feel better. He’s been suffering from ear infections and neck pain…

Somewhere along the way I blinked and this little baguette turned 11 and has become quite an old man. Every night at 8pm we snuggle on the sofa. He has a spot on the sofa that WM calls his “dock”…
Friday 5: Who Put the Pomp in the Pomp Bah Pomp Bah Pomp?
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong? That’s going to be in my head all night… Happy Friday! I worked from home today which means that this afternoon I worked from the patio chair in the back…
Ollie outtake
This was going to be the photo for yesterday’s Show Us Your Books post. Dramatically exhausted Ollie never fails to please!
Friday 5: Know when to fold ’em
Hello neglected blog! It’s been a little busy around here, plus at nights I’ve had a sick Ollie snuggling on my lap leaving me no room for my Surface. I used to feel guilty but hey…my blog, my rules! Ollie…
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…
