Putting Yourself on a Schedule: the Solution to Overwhelm? - Blog Entry

Yes, it seems like things never settle down, like nothing's ever clear or easy. It can feel like we're just muddling through, hoping that eventually, things will all work out, somehow. (It's hard to see how sometimes, though!)

Hang in there! (What else can we do?)

Dog Breeds: Pug - Blog Entry

Excellent article, Aimee! Of course, I'm prejudiced -- my Puggies have hit the "big time"! Pugs are lovable and loving pets, with such interesting personalities and expressive faces. If you can put up with non-stop shedding and a somewhat careless attitude toward "potty training," then there's a Pug out there with your name on it! -- Fran Hopkins

Aimee, I look forward to your article about Pugs. I was so happy to see the Pug do so well this year! I love my two Puggies (Sandy and Cocoa) and so of course I was rooting for Dermot the Pug.

Unfortunately, in typical stubborn Pug fashion, it seems that Dermot brought defeat upon himself, according to one article I read. Here's a quote:

"Dermot the Pug won the toy group at his final event. He traveled about 50,000 miles last year by motor home, and had 65 overall Best in Show wins. But when it came time for Reynolds to check him, he backed off on the judging table."

Gotta love 'em! -- Fran Hopkins, Senior Blogger, http://single-parenting.families.com/blog/
