Fun Facts About Pixie and Winnie
I love dogs, I have always loved dogs. In fact "dog" was my very first word and it was what I wished for every year at Christmas until my parents finally caved when I was in Kindergarten and got my first dog named Sadie who was a German Shepherds mix. Probably one of the reasons I love German Shepherds and would love to get another some day. But right now I'm in small townhouse and soon an apartment, so a big German Shepherd isn't in the cards at the moment. Anyways, I want to share more about the dogs in my life on my blog. If you didn't know I have an entire page about them in my about section and they have their own Instagram. So today inspired by From Roses, I'm going to be sharing a few fun facts about each of the pack members.…
View PostHow Getting a Dog Changed My Life & Made Me a Better Person
I have been a massive dog lover all of my life. Hell my first words were dog and I didn't stop repeating that word until my parents got me one. Granted it was the family dog and followed my mom around like a shadow. And I will always advocate for big dogs, they make excellent pillows to rest on or a shoulder to cry on if you need one. Now if you've been reading my blog for a few years, or even just a little while you'll know I do not have a big dog. I have a rather small dog named Pixie who is going to be five this year. And ever since getting my own dog, I have such a better appreciation for them then I ever did before. Not that my first dog, Sadie, wasn't amazing. She was my absolute best friend but she wasn't mine at the end of the day. So these are all of the things that I've noticed since I got Pixie Bug and just general things about dogs.…
View PostWhen Your Dog is a Picky Eater & How to Deal with It
I got Pixie when she was old enough to be adopted and ever since day one she has been a picky eater. She will take her food out of the bowl and either eat or set it somewhere else. Ever since moving in with Rose over a year ago she has began to flip her bowl over so the food goes everywhere. Or she'll just lay down near the bowl defending it from Kiki... but not eating a single bite of it. So how to you convince a dog who is a picky eater to actually eat. Or as my roommate and I comment, "She eats to live. She doesn't live to eat." Whereas, Kiki is the other way around. So is my mom's and sister's dog, Winnie.…
View PostAfternoon at Como Zoo & Conservatory
On Saturday, I went to Como Zoo & Conservatory with my roommate Harley. To be 100% honest, we were going to go to the zoo mainly to play Pokemon Go, but my app would not sign me in for more than two minutes so I ended up just enjoying walking around the place. However, almost 75% of the people at the zoo were on Pokemon Go and not really watching where they were going in some places. But that didn't bother me as it did for other people... as I wanted to join them to see what Pokemon I could get at the zoo. Whenever I did get on, all that there was available is Magmar.…
View PostAdult Night at Minnesota Zoo
So one thing I really wanted to do for my birthday was go to the zoo, but in Minnesota it ends up just being a massive crowd of parents with children to the point where it's hot, sticky, and you can't see over them to look at the animals especially when you're five feet two inches tall. My sister, Lucy, discovered we could go to the zoo when there wasn't any of that. Minnesota Zoo was offering starting this summer once a month, a time where it's adults only at the zoo for two and a half hours. So no crowds, no filters, and booze. Sign me up! …

When I used to live in Montana, one of the favorite places to go on the weekends or a day where I didn’t have classes was to drive down to Yellowstone National Park which was on the border of Montana and Wyoming. Especially on the days where there were animals…
