Late Spring Snow in Georgetown

Posted on March 29, 2022March 24, 2022 by Sandra

A late spring snowstorm arrived! We love walking James in the snow! He doesn’t mind wearing his dog winter coat and dog boots, too. The next morning, I noticed our community water bowl that I leave out for the dogs of Georgetown was frozen and covered in snow! That didn’t stop James from trying to…

More Tidal Basin Cherry Blossoms

Posted on March 28, 2022March 24, 2022 by Sandra

I enjoy getting up really early to walk around the National Mall in Washington, DC. The crowds are smaller and it is usually nice and quiet. It was a little bit cool and overcast, though. I would have preferred a warm sunny day! But summer will be here soon enough!

Chris and James

Posted on March 22, 2022March 21, 2022 by Sandra

Look at how goofy Poodle James relaxes! The couch is so much softer than the ottoman AND the couch has a pillow! But silly James likes to do things differently! I thought these were cute photos of Chris and James. James is sporting his lucky green St. Patrick’s Day bandanna:

Posted on March 17, 2022March 16, 2022 by Sandra

We recently went out of town in our RV and we forgot to bring James’ dog bed. We stopped in a PetSmart and picked up a Top Paw Orthopedic Cuddler bed. It is now J’s favorite bed! We ended up retiring the Bowsers donut dog bed that James LOVED for years. It was getting a…

Tidal Basin Cherry Blossoms

Posted on March 16, 2022March 13, 2022 by Sandra

When we first moved to DC, I made it a priority to go see the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin when they bloomed. And pretty much every year after, we still head down to the Tidal Basin to see the blooms. Luckily we have lots of cherry blossom trees near our house so we…

Kenwood Cherry Blossoms

Posted on March 15, 2022March 13, 2022 by Sandra

The Tidal Basin is the most well known area of DC for visiting the cherry blossoms, but I like to visit cherry blossom areas that aren’t as popular (or as crowded!). In our neighborhood in Georgetown, we have a few local parks with a few beautiful cherry blossom trees. But I always like driving through…

Soap Nuts Laundry Detergent

Posted on February 9, 2022February 9, 2022 by Sandra

I was talking to some of my classmates following a hot yoga class and the subject of overly scented products came up. We all agreed that things like hand soap and laundry detergent have way too much perfume. Even the unscented free and clear laundry detergents can sometimes give me a headache. Quite a few…
