Like most authors, I have a day job. Luckily, I’m a speech therapist for a school district which means I am off work for the next ten weeks. Woo Hoo! What will I do with this gift of time? Write, write, write, and spend time with my family and my dogs. My husband and I call summer Puppy Pallooza because we … Read More

Trial By Fire Release Day Dog gifs

ChrisDragons, YA, young adult

Trial By Fire comes out tomorrow, April 4th. What does an author feel like the day before a book releases? Allow me to explain in dog gifs. This is what I will look like most of today. Which means I’m super excited, nervous, and a little manic.  And I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight. I’ll probably look … Read More

Easter Funnies

I thought I’d share some Easter Funnies. I’m not sure how people get their dogs to wear Easter costumes, but the results make me smile.  

Car Lot Sticker Shock

Chrishome, Uncategorized, YA

Recently I’ve had the pleasure *insert eyeroll* of shopping for a car. I’ve purchased two cars in my adult life. I drove my first car for 8 years and I’ve had my current car for 12 years. (Which of course means I started driving when I was 5. )  I should also add that both cars were pre-owned. Funny  how that sounds … Read More

Skunked

Whacky Christmas Trees

I went online surfing for whacky Christmas trees. I found them on this site: http://www.thedistractionnetwork.com/dog-in-a-christmas-tree-suit/       The pillow tree.                   The Mountain Dew tree.             The “something is missing” tree.             The my dog wishes I’d get a hobby tree.   … Read More

Dogs Wearing Antlers

Chrishome

Why is this article about dogs wearing antlers? While I don’t personally dress my three beasts for the holidays, I do like looking/laughing at photos of dogs who are wearing antlers or other assorted Christmas costumes. The last one is my favorite. I’m pretty sure he’s planning on using his owner’s shoes as a chew toy in the near future. Have … Read More

Talking About Tumblr

Chrishome

I love tumblr. I’m always surprised by the number of people who aren’t on it. To me it’s easy. All you do is post some original content and then reblog cool articles, photos and gifs. The next step is picking blogs to follow. You can do a hashtag search for TV shows, books, movies, and anything else you like. I … Read More
