And then there is Rio….
This is the face that I see almost every night. His lips get pushed up, his teeth are all showing, his eyes are half glossed over from sleep, ears all over the place... yeah he's just that special! Does that face just not scream "tRouble maker!" I think it certainly...
How I came to hate right turns…and how that connects to dog training!
I think I have mentioned it before, but I drive a Ford Focus ZX5. I love my car, the biggest complaint I had when I first bought the car was that it has the most annoying turn-signal noise ever. I mean it. It sounds like an exaggerated Snapple bottle-cap ... or......
