I will attempt to update here a little more often than once a month.  Won't be daily like it was for almost two years, but I will check in more often than I have lately.

Let's see ... other than spider bites and volcanic butt tissue, what else has happened in the past month?

Ummmmm, cuddly little puppy has managed to destroy a few more items around the house, including the top half of a very expensive elephant skin boot (she regurgitated chunks of grey stuff for a couple of days ... it was obviously not digestible!). 

Amazingly, Tom was extremely calm when he found the boot.  Almost a scary calm.  I was sure we were going to be down to one dog, but no, they're both still alive and well.  Maybe he realized that he could still wear the boot since the portion that would show was still perfectly intact.  As long as he doesn't cross his legs and lift the pant leg, nobody will ever know he's only wearing half a boot.

We both just started taking the new wonder drug to quit smoking and if the claims are true, we should, hopefully, be ex-non-smokers in the very near future.  Keep your fingers crossed and I'll keep you updated on the progress.

So, you can see why I haven't written much lately ... my life has consisted of dogs, drugs and butts.

Say what?!
