Furbaby Friday: Meet Berkley

Posted 03/04/2011 by Ami in Pets \ 5 comments

I love Fridays!  Furbaby Friday is my favorite post to write.  Today’s precious furbaby is Berkley, and his furmommy is Kerry from Unexpected Delights!

Kerry says:

Berkley is almost 2 years old and to say that he is the center of our world is an understatement. We fell in love with his big brown eyes and furry face the minute we saw him. He has the sweetest most loving personality and never fails to make our hearts burst with joy …

Furbaby Friday: Meet Rusty

I promise a cute kitty today and a cute kitty you now have!  This sweetface is Rusty, the furbaby of the lovely lady behind The Nodakademic blog.

The Nokademic says:

My husband and I moved in to our first house in May of 2009, By September, we started to think about adding a pet to our home. We both love dogs, but recognized that a dog wasn’t right for our situation. Our very busy schedules (we are both working full time, and …

Furbaby Friday: Meet Buttercup

Posted 02/18/2011 by Ami in Pets \ 2 comments

My friend Janet became a furmommy at almost the same time we brought Charlie home, so her little Buttercup holds a special place in my heart.  I love hearing Buttercup stories and seeing new pictures of her.

Janet says: “Buttercup is named after the movie The Princess Bride.  She has a million nicknames – girly, stinky, Buppy, sweets – to name a few.  She has wonderful, sweet eyes and terrible breath.  And, occasional bed head.”

Q: What is your …

I’m seriously loving Furbaby Friday, ya’ll.  Big puffy heart loving.  This week’s adorable furbaby mom is Jenny from Life Between the Trees, and her precious little baby is Dexter!

Jenny says: “My husband Wade and I have been married for 2 1/2 years, and we got our Westie, Dexter (we call him Dexterdog) just a few months after we were married. He was 9 months old when we got him, and I can’t imagine why his owners wanted to give him away!  I …

Meet Colby

Posted 01/17/2011 by Cyd in Pets \ 3 comments

It seems time for an update on our debate over expanding our family – we went ahead and did it! Over Labor Day weekend we brought home our new baby girl, Colby. I won’t lie. The first couple of months were fairly hellacious. I forgot what it was like to have a baby in the house and make no mistake, a puppy is nothing but a baby. Sleepless nights with endless potty breaks and crying, a chewing bout during teething …

Crate and Barrel dog items by somewhereinmiddleamerica on Polyvore.com

On a recent trip to New Jersey, my husband and I took a quick trip to Crate and Barrel to check out a sideboard for the dining room that we had been admiring online. Since we don’t have a Crate and Barrel in Omaha, we always take advantage of being within 30 minutes of one. We decided to pass on the sideboard but the visit wasn’t a complete waste of time because …

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a dog lover of epic proportions. My five year old black lab Nina and I are the bestest of BFFs. She meets me at the door every night when I come home and she stares after me longingly when I leave for work in the morning. We play, we swim, we take long walks every night and I come home from every trip away loaded down with new toys and treats. Lately, …
