Have you ever had a day where you question why you left your bed? I am well acquainted with those. Yesterday felt like a continual day that featured the domino effect. First, our 15 year old Basset, Presley, started having difficulty walking, so that resulted in a vet...

Like any mother, I love to freeze the moment with my family by taking a picture. I don't ask for much. It isn't as though I am asking for a vital organ or perhaps their cell phone. I am simply requesting a photo. A few seconds of their life. Apparently, my youngest...
