We adopted our beagle Toby when he was 10 years old – yes, you read that right! He came to the shelter (where I volunteer) as a stray, overweight, with a torn ACL. He was microchipped, but his owners refused to return the shelter’s calls to pick him up. Given his age and medical condition, his chances…

We have a name for laundry around my house – Mt. Washmore. The basket pictured here is merely one of the foothills of Mt. Washmore. I used to delude myself that the laundry didn’t get done because of the four kids going through school clothes, sports clothes, clothes just because, but only one of my…
