As a parent, I get unsolicited advice all the time. My favorite advice comes from those who don't even have children. They are usually very smug, and all-knowing about all things related to children. Here are a few of the best-of-the-best pieces of advice non-parents dish up, and what I WISH I could say to them in response. 5 Great Pieces Of Advice My Childless Friends Have Given Me 1. Just tell them to mind you. I mean, I tell my dog what to do and he does it right away. Listen genius. A dog is not a child. As much as your dog IS your child, and I get that, your dog is never going to Keep Reading >>>
Your Dog Doesn’t Count On Mother’s Day And Other Truths
Happy Mother’s Day, everyone! I want to wish a wonderful day to all the moms out there either through biology, or adoption, or if you’re a step-mom, or even if you’ve got a deadbeat sibling who has run off to Nevada to “find themselves” and left you a niece and a half empty bag of diapers. But, if that last one is you, congratulations, because you’re also a mid-90’s TV sitcom. But on this blessed Mother’s Day, if you’re over twenty-seven and you’ve chosen not to have kids: I’m sorry, but you’re making a horrible mistake. I know you’ve got your reasons, and there are many. Just to be honest, Keep Reading >>>
I Think My Dog Is Addicted To TV
My dog Bosco watches television. Not just a few minutes here or there, but the whole show, and he has his favorites. He'll sit in front of it so close I'm almost concerned about his eyesight, especially after my Mom used to tell me, "Don't sit so close it will hurt your eyes." Will it hurt his eyes? The Vet doesn't seem to think so, yes I've asked...because I can't get him to stop, or back away. It's almost more entertaining to watch him then it is to watch the TV itself. Because he becomes so engrossed, you can watch his head move as the characters on the screen move, whine at a random animal Keep Reading >>>
My Tree Will Never Make It To Christmas…
Every year we go through the same thing: I put up a Christmas tree; my animals do everything in their power to take it down. I'd say it's the circle of life, but the truth is this is more a battle of wills between me and those little furry beasts I call pets. It's like they're possessed. And I don't understand...I mean, it isn't like the tree ever did anything to them. It's not like the tree comes in out of the cold throwing shade or something. It's a tree. And yet, every single year it happens...and the sad truth is I know how this is going to go down: my tree will never make it to Keep Reading >>>
I Love My Vicious Pit Bulls
When I come home, I love being greeted by my dangerous pit bulls, they are so aggressive that they jump on me and lick me until I am covered in slobber. Afterwards, I have a pack that surrounds me with a hunger that won't be satisfied by anything less than lots of love and I am at their mercy because they get their way (most of the time). Then to make matters worse, I am mercilessly chased by them throughout the entire house and no place is safe-not even the bathroom. Somebody, please save me from these wild animals who only want love and attention from their owners! I Love My Vicious Pit Keep Reading >>>
