Goodbye, Grandma

by Marissa on 19 November 2009

Dear Grandma, You got comfy in your recliner yesterday afternoon. Snuggled up with your blanket, in that soft pink and white striped top you loved, with a kleenex or two tucked up in your sleeve. “I’m just really, really tired,” you said as you reclined in your favorite chair. And just a few minutes after [...]

My uncle Paul (my Dad’s bro) plays rhythm guitar in a rock cover band called Liberty’s Teeth. And they’re pretty fantastic. The band is often booked to play at bars and nightclubs, though they also have several bookings for weddings and parties too. I got to see them play for the first time at an [...]

Pansy & Petunia

by Marissa on 8 April 2007

My folks named their babies Pansy (the black and white, slightly smaller puppy) and Petunia (the brown and white, very ornery puppy). And because Pansy and Petunia are, quite possibly, the cutest little dogs ever, here are some more photos of them: Pansy & Sparky look like mommy and baby. Pansy tries to help Daddio [...]

So Mums stumbled across some pictures of some very tiny little girls looking for a home… and she and Daddio couldn’t say no. Mums & Daddio welcomed home [...]

It’s a Dog’s World

by Marissa on 9 September 2006

It’s certainly time for an update on my dogs! Ernie and Rosco play together, which is really funny to watch because of their size difference. Ernie sometimes "escapes" from Rosco by just running under him. Rosco’s favorite move is to put his head kind of on top of Ernie’s back so that his (Rosco’s) neck [...]

Rosco’s Big Day

by Marissa on 18 August 2006

Hi. I’m Rosco, the newest addition to Marissa’s family. I am happy to report that after my doctor visit yesterday, I was given a clean bill of health, given all up-to-date vaccinations, and told that I am perfect. Well, almost perfect. I may need to lose a few pounds. But Marissa says I’m perfectly huggable [...]

My new buddy, Rosco

by Marissa on 16 August 2006

I’d like to introduce you to my new buddy, Rosco! He’s a St. Bernard-lab mix, about 7 years old. Rosco relaxes on his beddy… …and he relaxes on my bed! Rosco chose the location of his beddy… I had it in front of the fireplace with Ernie’s beanbag, but Rosco kept going to this spot [...]

Dinner Party: August 12, 2006

by Marissa on 16 August 2006

It’s up to each guest to guess which mat applies to them… (the "Leave" mat was a gift from G.P., my dad’s dad) Once inside, though, there’s no question about whether or not you’re welcome! Hanging out and visiting From left: Chaz, Gram, Mums, G.P., Daddio Ernie tends to get pretty tired trying to watch [...]
