Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going
Where we’ve been… My lack of posting over the last few years is embarrassing. There has been a lot that I wanted to share, but I let the dramas of life get in my way. Illness in my family and myself, mental and physical exhaustion from care-giving, and dealing with the deaths of two family members has been mentally draining. Added to those stresses, was the self-doubt, the fear of failure, or doing this blogging thing “wrong.” Reading article after article of how-to’s, must-do’s, and “rules for success,” got overwhelming. So much so that I let it stop me from doing what I enjoy. I came across this quote on…

Our Pet Friendly Pumpkin Patch Adventure
Delia and Chewy joined their friends on a visit to Meert Tree Farm, a pet friendly pumpkin patch and corn maze just outside of St. Louis. Delia loves it there. She had her first pumpkin patch and corn maze adventure there a few years ago. This year, Chewy joined her for his first time. They were eager to pick out a pumpkin AND to earn their Corn Maze and Hay Ride badges for PupScouts! We were happy that our friends could join us. Delia and Chewy adore them and they were the perfect partners for a day of fun in the pumpkin patch. First, a hayride… We took a hayride…

Hello, my friends! It’s me, Delia writing today. I’m happy to announce that I am the proud new PupScouts Troop 314 leader. We are the first troop in the St. Louis, Mo. area! What is PupScouts?

We get to meet new friends, spend fun time with our pawrents, earn cool badges and help other pups and people in our communities. My mom has been slow getting things started.

Chewy Caught the Ball!
We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and do what Delia loves best….fetch! Except today, Chewy was determined to get the ball before Delia… …and he’s off! He caught the ball!! He usually can’t keep up with her, but this time, they ran together! He decided to take it to the deck and chew on it for a bit. Delia: “You gonna let go of that ball, Chewy?” Chewy: “No, I think I’m gonna keep it.”

BlogPaws Nashville 2015 Recap
A few weeks ago we attended the 2015 BlogPaws conference in Nashville, TN. This was my second BlogPaws conference, but Delia and Chewy’s first. Flat Delia went to the 2013 conference, but it was much more fun with the real Delia! This trip was Delia’s and Chewy’s first long road trip and hotel stay. They did great! They mastered the elevators and knew how to find our room by the first night. Our room had a balcony and they enjoyed watching all of the other pets and bloggers arrive. I had originally planned on taking Delia to the educational sessions with me, but she was a little too excited by…

Introducing…Chewy!
Delia has a new puppy brother. Meet Chewy! He’s an 8-month old Kyi-Leo, or better known as a Lhasa-Apso/Maltese mix. Meet Chewy! Chewy was a regular at the doggie daycare/pet hotel where I work, and since I had been thinking of adopting a friend for Delia, my awesome bosses told me he was looking for a new home.

She wasn’t thrilled about this new little brother at first, but she is warming up to him. Delia loves to be chased, and Chewy loves to give chase, so they…
