New Puppy!
Yesterday, my mom texted me while I was at work and told me a little dog had followed her home from her walk with Dollie. She was extremely skinny but incredibly friendly with both my mom and Dollie. We gave her a bath which revealed that she was COVERED in fleas and ticks under her […]
Butterbeer and the Golden Snitch

The LA County Fair
Every year, we leave the LA County Fair and I wonder out loud to Peter, “Why do we keep coming to the LA Fair? Let’s not go next year.” And yet.. Every year, we return. We both hate spending money so the fair isn’t exactly the best for us to enjoy ourselves. You have to […]
