If you lived in my house and could tolerate the occasional fits, there is a live sitcom happening daily. It stars a small girl named Ellie who has a remedy for everything. Ant hills?

While many small children would not care for online shopping, my daughter had full control of [...]

“Wow,” I commented to Coach this morning, “Ace slept six hours last night.” We were both amazed as this is no small feat for our puppy. Like a baby, Ace is often awake every three hours in the middle of the night in need of attention. Our first night home, he cried… more like [...]
