Walking the Dogs
I always feel bad that Izzy and Chase don’t get enough exercise. We are pretty bad at getting them the walks that they really could use. One of my commitments for the summer is to get into the habit of getting them out every day. We’ve done some nice 60 to 90 minute walks the [...]
Chase’s “Procedure”
Tomorrow Chase will have been living with us for one month and a week. It seems like so much longer than that. He has a big day. Not a good day, but a big day. He’s old enough now to get neutered.
I realize it’s the right thing to do, and being a good dog owner [...]
Welcome Chase!
It was nine months ago that we added Izzy to our family. Today we added another dog to the family. His name is Chase!
We adopted Chase today after visiting him on Thursday night. He is about 5 months old and is a Border Collie/Black Lab mix. His color is all Black Lab, and his face [...]
Mazie’s First RenFest
This weekend we were adventurous and decided to take Mazie to her first Renaissance Festival! And just to keep things really interesting, we brought Izzy along as well. It was awesome. Everyone had a great time. Mazie really enjoyed it and had fun with just everything going on. Izzy did well, and was very [...]
Logan
When Tammy and I got married our respective cats started their relationship. It started rocky, and always has been rocky. Gypsie (my cat) and Logan (Tammy’s cat) never got along. Logan tried, but Gypsie was not looking for friends it seemed. They built a model that worked where Gypsie was mostly mean all the time [...]
Happy Dog
Mr. Mom Weekend via Twitter
I’ve been a bit enamored with Twitter for a bit now. Mr. Mom Weekend was a great time to do some “tweeting”. For posterity sake, here is the Twitter stream from the Mr. Mom Weekend.

Pay Attention to Snacks
Mazie and I had a nice Sunday. We ended up skipping swimming class. Mazie wasn’t feeling very well and was pretty congested. I imagined being in the pool and having Mazie sneeze and snot shooting right into the pool. Nah. We’ll skip this one. Grandma Rosalin and Aunt Alona came over in the morning and [...]
Fathering a Puppy is Hard
We had a pretty good Saturday. Even though I was up way too late I woke up at a reasonable time with enough of a gap to get Izzy out before Mazie woke up. We got up and made it through the morning routine pretty well. Mazie was pretty happy this morning and we had [...]
Running the Gauntlet
Today was a challenging day for Mr. Mom. It started right away. Somehow I slept until 7am and woke up to Mazie saying “Get out” over and over on the baby monitor. Izzy was also very eager to get out of her “house” and do her business outside. I got Mazie first, before letting Izzy [...]
