Taking Your Dog to Canada

Penny is an international traveler! “How?” you ask. Well, she took her first trip to Canada right before she turned three months old. Taking your dog to Canada is really not that difficult if you know what to take and which documents are required.

I’m not sure how impressed Miss Pennsylvania was with Niagara Falls.

Products to Help Solve Common Puppy Problems

Penny has just turned three months old and is an active, energetic little chocolate lab. She’s had a few behaviors that we want to nip in the bud, and because of that, we’ve invested in a few products to help us solve these common puppy problems. I’ve decided to share the products with you in the event that they could help another family.

9 Ways to Explore Historic Cheyenne, Magic City of the Plains

Cheyenne, Wyoming, isn’t really on the way to Denver from Northeastern Ohio, whether you choose the northern I-80 route or the southern I-70 route. However, it really isn’t that far out of the way.  Dennis had spent a lot of time in Cheyenne and Laramie working, and he wanted to show me a few of his favorite places in historic Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming.

My June Reading List

Are you ready for my June reading list? It’s now halfway though the year, and I’ve managed to keep track of every book I’ve finished so far this year. I’m actually pretty impressed–I’ve never been able to do that before.  June is my time for relaxation and rejuvenation after a long, hard school year. It’s always a great time to read. This month was a little busier than normal (more about that in a bit), but I still was able to add 15 books to my June reading list. 

How it all began

I started the month in Denver, awaiting the arrival of our fifth grandchild. Dennis and I drove out together, but he had to fly home on May 28.  Little Oz was born on June 3. While in Denver, I read, played lots of board games with J.R., and blogged. Meghan hogged Oz, so I didn’t get quite enough cuddles to last until I see him again. I left Denver on the 10th, stopping in Kansas and Missouri, before arriving home on the 13th. Along the way, I visited the Moon Marble Company in Bonner Springs, Kansas.
Waiting for baby Oz to arrive gave me lots of time to add books to my June reading list.
Baby Oz, one week old. At 10 lbs, 4 oz., Oz was a big, fat baby (according to older brother J.R.).

And how it ended

Remember how June was supposed to be quiet and relaxing? It really wasn’t. 
I got home on Thursday and packed for a weekend camping trip. On Friday, at the campground, the kids surprised me with my belated 50th birthday present: a new puppy named Pennsylvania. And somehow, that little puppy took over my life. I really didn’t get much done the last two weeks of the month. I definitely didn’t read as much as I had at the beginning of June. 
Anyhow, here is my June reading list!
