HAPPY MONDAY EARLY BIRD DAY RELEASE DAY (and the start of back to school and back to work) *sigh* It was un while it lasted. 😉 !!! Not a huge list but it is one that has our favorite tropes. 🙂

Three things:

1.) I went crazy, took advantage of the New Year sales and bought a new couch set!!! Mine was at its wits end (and so was I) with my big dog and my littles (getting pretty destroyed) and it was finally time. And surprisingly, so far, so good on training the dogs to stay OFF the NEW couch set. Since it’s new to them, they are responding well to the training. But also… to help with the transition, I got them their own “couch” doggy-human beds which they are laying on right now as we speak. I miss the constant stuck-to-me couch snuggling, but they used to fight over me constantly, so at least that part is calmer. And… their couch is big enough for me to snuggle on it, with them instead. P.S. Once it decompressed fully, WOW!! It looks exactly like the picture, and it is totally cozy. I LOVE IT!! And so do my dogs. read more
