  • Imagining a day in the life of a single Pomeranian

    While my other half, Rebecca Ricks, and I continue our search for another canine companion, I’ve come to worry a little about our current companion, Tybalt.

    As much as we try to incorporate play time, walks and car rides for the Pomeranian, I know he must get bored on days when we are both at work. Since we lost our other Pomeranian, Nanook, last July, Tybalt does not have any sleeping targets to dive bomb during work days.

  • Singles should stay true to standards

    For a single person, Valentine’s Day is about as fun as getting your teeth pulled.

    Even though it’s kind of a non-holiday, it’s treated like the most romantic day of the year. Insert gagging noises here.

    But my point isn’t to berate or belittle Valentine’s Day; it’s to let all the single ladies out there know you’re not alone.

    The trap many women fall into, especially if they are feeling lonely on a day like Valentine’s Day, is they go out looking for someone rather than the one.

  • Life's joys worth a few scrapes and bruises

    A couple Fridays ago, when many in Hardin County were waking up to an ice-covered world, our Pomeranian, Tybalt, discovered the hazards of weather.

    In his normal fashion, after my significant other, Rebecca, attached his leash, Tybalt excitedly ran out ahead of her as she opened the back door to take him out. He was greeted by an icy concrete porch and patio that resulted in a few slips before he could regain his footing.
