Dogs

There is a reason we don't have a dog.

I can't stand how stupid they are.

Yeah yeah yeah.... dog owners, chastise me if you will. Robin, I apologize. I know you have two. And I am sure they aren't dumb.

No. The DUMB dogs live right next door to me. We are on this funky block thing .... although we face one street, we are on the corner, and our block isn't deep at all. So our neighbor, whose house is for sale, is literally in our backyard.

And so are his DAMN DOGS.

When he first moved in, the smaller dog barked. Non-stop.

Which got the Great Dane to bark.

And for those of you who know some Great Danes, they don't do a lot of barking.

But this one does.

And they don't bark inside the house. No. They have to bark OUTSIDE.

At 6 AM when he lets them out.

At 11 PM when he gets ready to go to bed.

And right now. Barking at my kids.

Seriously dude. Move already.

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.

The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.

The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.

The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.

The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.
