Nervous Nellie

Posted on September 23, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Dear Maverick

Posted on September 15, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Who’s walking who?

Posted on August 3, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Maverick pulls. He pulls on leash like he’s the lead dog and I’m the sled. We work on this little quirk every single freakin day. We go to the park, and we practice “Mommah doesn’t move when you try to … Continue reading →

Pokemon weekends

Posted on February 22, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Maverick and I walk at the same park every day. It’s a beautiful park, with several walking paths, so we can wander a bit, go a different route if we want, avoid Goose Poop Alley on most days – there’s … Continue reading →

Snowing, blowing, yuck!

Posted on January 8, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Probably within 5 minutes of meeting me, you’ll know how much I hate snow. Yesterday we got about 4 inches of white yuck. I had nowhere to go so I made the Bear take the Benz because it’s the “f … Continue reading →

Get your shoulders down from your ears, kid

Posted on September 28, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Maverick has a bad habit of licking his paw when he’s bored – or, as Dr. Dave says, “he needs a girlfriend.” (My response to that was, “I will do most anything for my puppy, but I draw the line … Continue reading →

Sometimes you just have to go back to bed

Posted on September 1, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

My day started with a puppy demanding to be outside – he chases butterflies while on a long long lead, and I sit on the lawn swing and drink coffee and try to wake up. Usually I get a few … Continue reading →
