Wordless/Wordful Wednesday: Doggy Camp

Princess Nagger had one of her play tents set up in the living room. Rolex seemed to get a lot more use and enjoyment out of it than she did: He’s taken quite a few naps in it, and pretty much hangs out in it when it’s set up. I’m guessing he’s hoping Princess Nagger [...]

Spinning Up Some Respect

Respect can be a complicated mode if we look at it that way. We learn all about respect (hopefully) from our parents and other adult figures during our childhood, like our teachers. We can’t confuse ‘respect’ with ‘obedience’ – some kids might obey because they are afraid. If they respect you, they will obey because [...]
