The Adventures Of One Woman And Her Two Dogs
One of the easiest and most scenic places I walk my dog locally is Hiestand Woods. It offers a nice place where we can retreat from sidewalks, busy roads, and the sounds of civilization. But there is one huge issue with Hiestand Woods – people let their dogs roam off-leash. It’s actually illegal according to…
Recently I was standing in an isle of fiction at Barns & Noble. It was a busy Saturday and I was looking for something new. A thin, gray-haired lady, full of energy was speaking to two other young people with passion about about a book. “The dog is 250 years old,” she said. I was…

This morning I decided to get up, go to the gym, come back home, and enjoy breakfast with my dogs. Typically, I’d get up and rush to work each morning. This is my last week before another 17 weeks of school, so this morning I’m enjoying a meal that brings back some of my favorite…

It’s the first day of 2020! For many, the start of a new year (and decade!) is a symbol of a fresh start. While little has actually changed from December 31 to January 1, some need that feeling of “new” to motivate them, much like how Monday always feels “new” enough to start a workout…
Today, as I took a walk with Caesar in the 60-degree misty winter, I began to think about how many miles Caesar and I have tallied up in 2019. The year is nearly over, and we still have a few days left, but I decided to add up my millage from the year so far….
