Quotes

Loving and parenting a dog as a single parent can create all sorts of new and unusual problems, but also new sources of joy.

My family always makes a huge deal out of Christmas.

Being a caretaker is, and never will be, an easy job; in fact, it is that hardest job in the world and many times a thankless job. You have to be the pillar of strength even when you feel like you are crumbling to pieces inside.

My advice: Take a second out of the day today and be thankful for your family.
