Hi, everyone. I haven't blogged in so long...I feel like a bad friend. I can't access this website at work and by the time I get home, I don't want to look at a computer. How is everyone? Life here with the Cam-ster is going well. She's been really sweet (like, when is she NOT, right?? I mean, look at that face) and she's so excited to see me when I get home, that all I want to do is play with her. This past week has been really cold in the Northeast, so we've been debating on purchasing a dogg… Continue

The city of Brighton had a parade yesterday. I have no idea why, but we went down to see it because I love marching bands. We left Cam at home. Well, Lo and behold, what do we see walking towards us??? Another tri-colored corgi. Camber lost her coveted "Only Tri in the neighborhood" crown to Ralph. Ralph is a handsome little guy. Only 6 months. His coloring was beautiful. Where Camber is dark fur, Ralph is all tawny. Mo and I had fantasies about how darn cute puppies from he and Cam would loo… Continue

Took Camber to the dog park and a pit bull got a little too friendly and she charged and snapped at him. I was just as surprised as the dog. Camber is a proper girl, and really. Does it take that much sniffing to get to know another dog? Didn't think so. The pitty didn't go near her after that. Despite the pitt's attempt to get Biblical with Camber, she really was a sweet dog. Camber made quite the splash at the dog park. It was a new group of dog's and everyone was oohing and aahing over her.… Continue

Let me just preface this by saying that I was a nanny for 2 years. I am a teacher. I love kids. But, I really didn't like these 3 little girls at the dog park yesterday. First off, they were unattended. Their adult was in the vicinity, but wasn't paying attention. Well, these little girls were trying to pet every dog in the area. There were a variety of dogs there and they were all playing with each other. They seemed to want to do nothing with human babies. So, here come Cam and I. She's sniff… Continue

Here we are, with the second week of August behind us, and I'm getting ready to go back to work. Camber and I have been spending loads of quality time together and I just realized how much I was going to miss her come September. Being a teacher has its time advantages and Cam and I would hang out on the couch or in the backyard...she's going to miss me. I've had to meet at the school these last couple of days, so I'm getting her used to the idea that I won't be around as much. But, it breaks my… Continue
