Spring Ahead Time Change Woes
The daylight saving time change throws off routines for dogs and humans alike. Benji and I adjust with naps, patience, and a simple beef and rice dinner.
I Love Celebrating Benji’s Gotcha Day
Every year, I celebrate Benji's gotcha day. Blueberry muffins, snuggles, and gratitude for the companionship that has carried me through changing seasons of life.
The Light Is Coming Back (So We Baked Biscuits)
The light is finally returning. To celebrate the in-between season, Benji and I baked simple homemade dog biscuits and slowed down together.
Benji Has Been Needy Lately (And Honestly, I Kind of Love It)
Benji has been extra needy lately—from bathroom meetings to constant companionship. A gentle look at love, routine, and connection.
When the Light Starts to Return (and Soup Feels Like a Promise)
Above 20 degrees for the first time in weeks, a little more light, and a reminder that spring is coming—even if slowly.
Pet Insurance: What I Learned the Hard Way
A personal reflection on caring for a chronically ill dog, the financial realities of long-term veterinary care, and why pet insurance became a lesson learned the hard way.
Habits Are Part of a Dog’s Life
Dogs thrive on routine. A 3am potty break with Benji reminded me why habits help dogs feel safe, calm, and secure.
Winter Walks Are Shorter, And That’s Okay
Winter walks are slower and shorter—and that’s okay. A gentle reminder to follow your dog’s pace during cold, quiet days.
Happy New Year: A Gentle Start, A Warm Bowl, and a Very Spoiled Dog
A gentle New Year with Benji, slowing down, resting deeply, and nourishing winter days with a cozy, dog-friendly stew.
A Holiday Wish for You
A heartwarming farewell to 2025 — quiet Christmas moments with Benji, holiday traditions, and a nourishing beef and veggie recipe made with love.
