November 2010 ended in the worst way. My baby, Liza Jane passed away. She was 3 years old. I remember when I got her 11/20/2007 almost like it was yesterday. She was so tiny and her ears were far too large for her little head. Three years and ten days later she was gone. Admittedly, [...]

I have got to stop letting Maggie watch so much Animal Planet. She usually decides she needs some ridiculously expensive breed of dog or some freaky looking animal that only someone who collects creepy art would want.
