Highlights from Ps & Q

For some reason, it didn't really hit me until I sat down to write this evening that today's blog marks a new milestone for Ps and Q. The big number 200.I've marked some of the other milestones with special posts, and taken the time to  reflect upon the journey...

Thursday was another pretty busy day. Erin had to head out early to take Asta to her breeder for a nice grooming, and our ABA therapist couldn't make it, so it was me and Henry hanging out while I was working and Amelia was in school.It's always a precarious balancing...

This week, it was one of those Wednesdays where I woke up thinking it was already the weekend. Boy, I was way off.I didn't sleep super well, and woke up with the house smelling kind of like a campfire. That is cool and soothing in its way, but the sad fact is that the...
