Why Animal Planet's Mermaid "Documentary" is a MAJOR Disappointment

Tonight, Husband and I watched part of Mermaids: The Body Found on Animal Planet.

Just in case you live in a cave, here are both teaser trailers for Star Wars Episode VII

Cave dwellers aside, the entire planet has already seen the teaser trailers for Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens.....

....but still, I have to post them.  It's a new Star Wars movie, for crying out loud.

The newer of the two trailers features a voice-over from Mark Hamill, and a clip of Harrison Ford as Han Solo:

Misbehaving Max and the Styrofoam

I'm trying to turn our second bedroom into a sewing/craft/hobby room of sorts.  To that end, I ordered a set of cubbies off of Amazon--the type that are made of manufactured wood and you put together yourself.  I unpacked the pieces and assembled the cubbies in the living room specifically so that I could keep an eye on Max without bringing him within reach of my craft supplies

I swear I only turned my back for a second....

Culinary Adventures: Gluten Free Enchilada Sauce

Husband and I were having trouble finding gluten-free enchilada sauce in the grocery store, so I decided to try making a gluten-free version of this recipe for "Easy Red Enchilda Sauce" from Budget Bytes.

Can Dogs Learn to Share?

I've been wondering: is it possible for dogs to learn to share?

More specifically, is it possible for Beatrice and Max to learn to share toys?

24 hours ago, I would have said "no." Then, yesterday afternoon, a veritable miracle occurred: Beatrice and Max played with Beatrice's blue monster toy.  Together. And without bloodshed.

Doggy Update: Beatrice (mostly) Likes Our New Puppy

I managed to capture this shot of Beatrice and Max in the back garden last week:

Awwww.....

Max has been living with us for eleven days now, and Beatrice seems to like him...most of the time, anyway.

We Adopted a Puppy!

In case you haven't heard the news, Max is now officially our furry baby!

On Friday night, Lorie, a very nice lady from SOAR Doggy Rescue, brought Max to our house to oversee his first meeting with Beatrice.  (I'm presuming that she also took a surreptitious look at our fence, but there was no "grand inspection".)
