Jake’s Surgery At Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center And Dog Friendly Columbus, OH
Happy Wednesday everyone! I previously wrote a post about Jake’s Luxating Patella/Cranial Cruciate surgery last year and we thought we were out of the water. But our hopes for a successful recovery went wrong. During that surgery, two screws were placed in the knee and one had come loose approximately 1 1/2 inches which meant Jake had to have a second surgery to remove the screw. He came...

Hiking In Pennsylvania And Enjoying Nature With Your Pup
Happy Monday everyone! We enjoyed a beautiful fall weekend hiking in the hills of Pennsylvania and came upon a beautiful old church. The Service United Presbyterian Church was established in 1790 and sits upon a gorgeous property with hills all around it. The church doors open to a sparkling lake and setting full of beautiful trees and falling leaves. John Anderson Memorial Cemetery and...

Fun In Franklin, TN
Happy Monday everyone! We just got back from our Fun In Franklin, TN trip with Jake and Maggie and, as promised, here is a breakdown of everything we did. We spent 5 days enjoying great weather, delicious food, dog friendly shopping and activities.

Things To Do In Plymouth, MA With Your Dog
Happy Wednesday everyone! Jake and Maggie took their first trip to Plymouth, MA with us and had a blast. Mr. TAL had a business meeting and we decided to go with him. Before we left, I called several restaurants in the area to find out if they had dog friendly dining and was pleasantly surprised at how many places allow dogs. I also found there are a few places you can actually tour with...

Lititz, PA America’s Coolest Small Town
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m sorry that I missed Monday’s post but Mr. TAL and I took a mini fall vacation to Lititz, PA. Voted America’s coolest small town in 2013 and I can see why! It is absolutely beautiful in every way. The quaint town, friendly people, delicious eats, scenic views, covered bridges, and a dog friendly environment made for a perfect fall getaway. Want to learn more...

Day Trip To Cook Forest, PA
Happy Monday everyone! We kicked off October with a trip to Cook Forest on Saturday and the pups loved it. The weather was absolutely beautiful with blue skies, a light breeze, and crisp fall weather in the morning warming up to the 70s by mid afternoon. We dressed Jake and Maggie up in their new bow ties from The Pampered Pooches (see small businesses I support) and headed out around 8:30...

Helping Afghanistan
Happy Thursday everyone. This is another surprise post but one that I feel is extremely important. I had a totally different post designated for today but decided I would answer some very important questions sent my way this week. How do we help Afghanistan, the Afghans, and the many shelter animals and service dogs left behind? Thomas and I are sending prayers and love to those family...

Traveling To Charlotte, NC
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I’ve taken some time off from blogging to take a much needed vacation to Charlotte, NC and to work on getting our house ready for summer! Thomas and I took a relaxing drive to Charlotte, NC to see my childhood friend and enjoyed spending time with her and her family while taking in this beautiful city. We stayed at the Hilton Uptown which is in walking distance of...

My January 2021 Beauty Product Review
Happy Monday everyone! It was a happy weekend for me! I made a Sephora haul, a Walmart haul, a quick stop into the salon to grab my hairspray, and a surprise shipment from Nature Made Vitamins arrived in the mail on Friday. Let me tell you that Nature Made Vitamins did it right. First, I was not asked to make a purchase and to blog about them. I was not asked to purchase a product at a...

Book Review – A Must Read!
Happy Wednesday everyone! This is my third book review and I just have to tell you about this book I just finished reading. It’s the second book from authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen “An Anonymous Girl”. And just like their first one “The Wife Between Us”, it leaves you in suspense the whole way through to the end leaving you in shock as to who the victim is. The New York Times...
