One of our cats Poe had a recent trip to the vet. He wasn’t eating and was acting lethargic and since he has a history of crystals forming in his bladder and causing blockages, I took him in. He stayed overnight and our fabulous vet told us that he had diarrhea probably because he was {…Continue Reading}
I hit Old Navy’s clearance section last week and on the way in, spotted these (not on clearance) adorable little shoes for Arden. Cute, right? Arden loved them, too. Only problem was that ballet flats sans strap and preschooler do not mix well. They were slipping right off her feet as soon as she tried {…Continue Reading}
We crate our dogs, Laser and Sophie, at night and Sophie’s bed has gone from bad to horrible. In my opinion, dog beds for large breeds usually fall into one of two categories – 1. cheaply made, or 2. incredibly expensive, So when Dave said he was going to get a new bed for Sophie, {…Continue Reading}
Today is the 1st Blogiversary of A Jennuine Life. Where has the time gone? I thought I’d take this week to re-share my first post and some of my early projects, but edit the photos better and update any changes that have occurred. Sort of a best of (or worst – since I was still {…Continue Reading}
Sorry it’s been two weeks since my last post! Crazy heat, third trimester fatigue, and summer life have just caught up with us around here. I’ve been making decent progress on prepping the nursery, so there will be some posts coming up about that. I haven’t been completely unproductive. I made this fish pillow for {…Continue Reading}
Okay, so remember this? She’s had her stitches removed and it’s healing well. I took the cone off her yesterday because she was doing a good job of leaving the ear alone and was constantly bashing the $#*&^ collar into everything – including my legs. But what’s even more pathetic than our dog Sophie in an E-collar? Our {…Continue Reading}
If you’ve seen the movie Up, then you know of what I speak. If you haven’t – what are you waiting for, it’s really funny for adults and kids alike! Anyways, many of the characters in the animated movie are dogs that can talk through translators on their collars, and one of the dogs has an {…Continue Reading}
We live in Michigan and our labs have very tight coats. Laser especially is a weenie about being cold. He does this funny little speed-walk to try to get home faster whenever it’s below 35 degrees. Sophie, being the scrappy rescue dog she is manages better, but I thought it was time she got a {…Continue Reading}
Decorating our mantle is a little difficult, since it usually ends up being a catch-all for everything we don’t want dogs, cats, or toddler getting into. But with all the inspiring mantles I’ve been seeing, I thought I could give it a try. The vase on the left was a wedding present and is filled {…Continue Reading}
A local animal rescue sponsors a Dirty Dog run each year where you can run with your dogs on the trails. Last year I ran with Laser and the oaf dragged me over hill and dale for the entire 5k. Normally, he poops out and I’m dragging him after the first mile or so. Turns out {…Continue Reading}
