The Cast:
Mr. Big: My musically inclined, animal loving, heart on sleeve wearing Firefighter husband who still makes my speakers go boom boom.
Chops: Our first furbaby...thinks she's a Chihuahua (hint, she is the equivalent of 12 chihuahuas), loves chewing socks, chasing squirrels and midnight snuggles. She is the reason I have grey hair.
Lunie: Our sweet girl - she was a rescue from a puppy mill and is all you could ever want in a dog and more - she is loyal, sweet, gentle and kind. Also large, she actually knows it which is refreshing. She never barks, loves to chase balls and believes she is a human.
Tobers: Our oldest and newest pup, and the only boy. A rescue who came with a piercing barking problem, but is otherwise perfect. He is little (actually the size of a chihuahua), and a little snuggle bug. He loves to chew socks, run in circles carrying a frisbee and give kisses.
Why the blog:
I began the blog as a way to channel my thoughts on our infertility battle. But, as it progressed, it became so much more than that! Now I blog about everything - life, family, friends, infertility, and so much more.
Thanks for visiting!

2012 - Emergency surgery to remove contorted cyst - unable to save my fallopian tube and ovary. Now I'm "one-legged" so to speak, and feeling very raw about it.
