Missing That Device-Free Life

Watch out. I’m about to get all Gen X up in here. I was a late-comer to getting my first cellphone. If I remember correctly, it was 2006 and I was living in Seattle. Everyone else I knew had one, while I was still a landline gal. I was supposed to meet a friend for…

Adult Play Care

When we started taking our wonderful rescue doggo to his daycare for playtime with other pups, we noticed a difference in him right away. He was happier and more confident. Humans might not be as adorable as dogs, but we have the same love and need for play! If you’re looking for both an easy…
