It's the end of the year, the last day to be exact, so what better time to write a 2019 Year in Review post? I didn't write for my blog that much this year, and my traffic tanked because of it. I'm changing that in 2020. Still, when I did write it was usually because something big happened. Some of the big things I did
This summer has been a shitshow. Busy as ever, hot as a fuck and I swear to God I am losing my mind. The new puppy is awesome, she's super smart (can already sit, shake and lie down on command) and such a sweetie pie. She also has tons of energy and sharp little puppy teeth. Ruby has been wonderfully patient with all the puppy
If you're thinking about getting a puppy - don't. Actually do, they're adorable and cute and cuddly and floppy and wonderful. They just don't sleep when you want them to and they poop and pee a lot, especially when you aren't looking. We recently got a new puppy. We went through a border collie rescue and found the most adorable puppy. This was not a
Finally!! After months and months of thinking about doing this, I finally made a video for my cat to watch! It seems like a small enough thing - making a video of birds eating bird seed, but it was actually a really big thing to do. We got Navi, the Bombay cat last December a few months after Dini died. Navi is a 3 to
There's a mouse in my car!!! WTF!?!?!? I haven't actually seen the mouse, but I can hear it and it's terrifying. A few months ago I was driving my daughter to school because the bus never came. As we were getting on the practice freeway (35E for those of you who aren't from the Twin Cities, but for those of you coming here for the
It's Prime Day, that's just like Christmas in July, or Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa or having your birthday in July if you normally don't have a birthday in July. Prime Day is an awesome way to get amazing deals on all the things you want. Amazon offers huge discounts on all the cool stuff, the kinky stuff, the toys we want for our pets, and on
Do you compliment freely? Which do you do more often - compliment or criticize? The consensus seems to be that we are in a hand basket on our way to hell. It doesn't matter where you look, people jump on each other for saying or doing anything, even with the best of intentions. Here are just a few recent examples of companies and people that
I know everyone is upset about Trump becoming our 45th president. I get it. The upside of a Trump presidency is actually many things believe it or not. Sure, he says a lot of stupid things and he doesn't appear to know what he's doing, it's scary, I really do get it. But think about all that has happened since he was sworn in the past
For your reading pleasure I've put together my sometimes annual Redhead Ranting 2016 Roundup. Every other media outlet does a roundup so I thought, what the heck, I'll do one too! I'm actually surprised I wrote enough this year for a roundup. In fact, I actually wrote and published 60 posts this year, which is my third time high since I started blogging in 2007.
Now that winter is upon us and it's getting harder and harder for Stanley to get around, I was thrilled to be asked to review the Bark Potty Dog Park in a Box. Basically the Bark Potty is an indoor potty for dogs who need to relieve themselves indoors. I'll have to admit, I was a little nervous about using the Bark Potty. I was
