We’re adding to our family
I tweeted about it yesterday: Looking @petfinder for a puppy – we’re ready! This must be what expectant parents feel like. Only we get to choose our baby! The secret’s out: We’re adding to our family! We haven’t found a pup just yet, but we’re pouring over Petfinder, filling out rescue organization applications, watching the [...]

It has eight testicles. [...]

Water gardening in small spaces
