Brittany Spaniels and Bullmastiffs — What a Combo

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

Lacey and I babysat 2 bullmastiff puppies today. It was quite a day, to say the least. The puppies are 4 months old (Lacey is about 9 months old) and they already weigh almost twice what Lace weighs.
When we went in the house, the puppies were in the kitchen behind a puppy gate. So the […]

A Dog’s Welcome Home

Monday, May 15th, 2006

I got home from San Francisco about 10:30pm last night. I walked in the house with all my luggage and it was so great to be home. Lacey was in her crate in my bedroom. Surprisingly, and to my great relief, the house was still intact and recognizable. Nothing expensive chewed up or in pieces […]

Happy Mother’s Day…from Lacey

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

Dear Mom,
Today is Mother’s Day, so I wanted to write you a letter telling you how happy I am that you are my mom. I couldn’t have a better, more devoted, mom. I have loved you since you first picked me up, but I’ve really realized it with you being gone this week. I can’t […]

My Dog, the Turkey

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

I’m hearing stories from afar. I think Melissa must be so busy cleaning up after Lace that she doesn’t have time to keep the blog updated with what’s happening.
I’m keeping up through my housemate Alexis, who watches Lacey during the day. I found out yesterday what Alexis watches Lacey do!!
My understanding is that Lacey’s on […]

There’s definitely no substitute for mom!

Monday, May 8th, 2006

Okay, I’m only posting this because I know Anna is probably checking her blog a dozen times a day to see if I’ve posted anything.
First, I’d like to say that I am not nearly as witty as Anna, so it’s unlikely that her brother will be laughing outloud at any of my posts. But, I’m […]

First Day Away

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

Today is Sunday and I’ve been in San Francisco (and away from Lacey) for 30 or so hours.
I miss her. I realize how much love she gives me and how much I give her.
I see how open I can be with her, and she loves me no matter what.
I talked to Melissa earlier […]

Taking a Trip — Without Lacey

Saturday, May 6th, 2006

I’m leaving today to go out of town for 8 days.
I’ve been preparing for this trip for a while. I had the conversation with Lacey a few times the last couple of days.
A friend of mine is staying at the house to look after her. I wrote detailed instructions, got her food ready, talked […]
