Stronger Every Day

Last Sunday Tess had a big day.

Picture it. You're at the dentist. The dentist says things like open wide. And you open your mouth. Except. If you don't understand simple commands like that. Then, it's a whole different ballgame. 

We spent a full morning of walking around in the pouring rain with Tess. Something we do annually, each spring.

Super exciting news from France. And also from our driveway.

I was lucky enough to have some uninterrupted time with Tess recently. She showed me one of her favorite places.

A lunch table on a lazy Saturday. A plate of food. The occasional clink of a fork as we feed Miss Tess. And then, jackpot.

In a way, this year’s NCAA tournament surprised me more than ever.

An ill-advised purchase. A snack. And some unfortunate consequences.

We've had a rough couple of days for our girl. Simply put, Tess is not her usual happy self.

A bird falls from the sky. We try to solve a mystery about Tess. And we use a tool made by a mom, hoping for a day when those mysteries are behind us.
