‘Bringing Up Pup’

At Least It Gets Cold Here

January 13th, 2012

Apparently living in the  “Banana Belt” of the Upper Peninsula could truly mean we won’t get much snow here. And that really is a blessing when I put aside my childish fantasy of a snow-covered world…and igloos that my brother, sister, and I built… and sled-riding… and angels… and snow shoeing… Less snow means less [...]

How A Dog Can Change You
