Throw me a freakin’ bone

Finding a reliable dogsitter has become a problem. We haven’t needed one as of yet, but after booking our trip to Chicago in December, the hunt is on.

I didn’t think it would be this big of a problem, but there are certain factors you just don’t forsee. Like your uncle’s dog biting your pup in the face!

It happened a few weeks ago. Fitz was 100% fine, his eye was a little red like it was poked, but no worries. Tiff and I always dogsit for my aunt and uncle. Their dog Lady was one of the most laid back and quiet dogs we know — or so we thought.

The walk of shame

Team Pattie T-ShirtIt turns out that public humiliation is only bad when you have enough energy to care.

Tiffany and I got together with members of Tiffany’s family to participate in the National Kidney Foundation’s Walk & Run Saturday morning at Polaris Fashion Place. We participated to honor the memory of Tiffany’s aunt Pattie, who passed away two years ago.

Tiffany Finds Cigarettes That Are 8 Years Old

James DeanI quit smoking back in January. And I went months without smoking a single cigarette.

I caved and picked it up again over a few days at some point this year. Then quit again. And as it stand now, I cheat on occasion.

Like this last weekend when B.A. came to town. He used to smoke as well, so now he only buys cigarettes when he comes to Columbus to hang with me. Or when I go to Columbia City.

So I get to use him as an excuse to bum a few and he gets to use me as an excuse to have a few. It’s not a bad little system.
