Arthur the King

By |March 16, 2024|

I write books about rescue dogs and so I get a lot of dog stuff in my Facebook feed. I also post dog memes and photos of rescue dogs and so it’s not surprising that for the last month or so I’ve been getting sponsored ads about a movie that finally hit theaters yesterday. Mark Wahlberg has made some really smart choices in his career. Not all of them, but who has made 100% good choices in their personal or professional life? I sure haven’t. But Wahlberg has made more good ones than bad and Arthur the King is a great one. What’s not to like? If an underdog sports movie isn’t enough then adding a dog will make it better. And adding this exact dog made it perfect. Seriously, we need a special category at the Oscars for dogs and their trainers. I love underdog sports movies. I’ll even [...]

We saw the house in September of 2016. It was a horrible house buying experience including identity theft, having to go through two different lenders but it was so complicated it's too exhausting to share all the horrible details.

We decided to book two nights at a hotel because I did not know when things would arrive. I was so tired of spending money [...]

There is a Difference

By |March 5, 2024|

Yesterday I went to the grocery store and a woman was there with her dog. Now this dog wasn't just an under dressed service dog with an owner who forgot to put on his vest. [...]

Not Like the Others

By |March 4, 2024|

I even have a theme song that runs through my mind most days. One of these things is not like the other one of these things doesn’t belong. Today wasn’t one of those days. I [...]

Unexpected Hope

By |February 24, 2024|

Hope can come from the weirdest places. A Facebook memory popped up today from exactly three years ago. That day I was dealing with the winter blues. The grayness and gloom and the whole no [...]
