A Day in the Life of Zach (I am Z)

Wiggle wiggle wiggle, Woof woof woof, I stretch after rustling from under the covers, Belly up, legs up, Rub me, rub me, rub me! Down the stairs and to the right My bowl awaits full of delights, The door closed, I sit nearby, My signal to let me go out into the sunshine. Play, prance, […]

A Dog With Many Names

Zach is one of those goofballs that requires more than one moniker to collect his derpyness. He has so many facets and quirks that we end up giving him nicknames that best suit his mood. In the last 3 months, we have manged to call him so many names I figured posting them to make […]

Misery Loves Company

Sitting in the couch, Coughing, sneezing, Waiting, just waiting for a reprieve. The congestion worsens Tightening my head in a vice, Pressurizing my sinuses Which are about to explode. My body aches, To the point I can feel the weight of my soul. My trusty companion, Woman’s best bud, Lies on my chest. He is […]

Happy Birthday Month Zach! (100 Days with Z)

Back in March 2014, I was mourning the loss of the unborn child we lost. He would have been 4 years old, and if he was anything like his parents, he’d be talking and asking 10,000 questions. Little did we know that a few states away our saving grace was being born. A promise of […]

80 Days With Zach!

I always jump into things from the deep end. I do well at first but the moment I start treading water, I panic. When you are fostering an introverted dog you need nerves of steel and precision movement. For Zach, I was willing to become the perfect adoptive parent. Boy was I in for a […]

How To Soundproof Your Home: New Dog Owner 101

My puppy Zach has been jumping up on the window ledge and barking at everything he sees. Because this is his job, to scare possible intruders away, it is my guilty pleasure to indulge him. He wasn’t getting hurt nor hoarse which are the primary tell tale signs he is excessively barking. However, based on […]

MrsEnginerd’s Valentine’s Day Weekend

Ok, I do have a beef with Valentine’s Day  and as you read, my issue is with the hypocrisy of the event, from the marketing and sales perspective. Instead of shaming Mr Enginerd into buying me flowers, chocolates, jewelry and a nice dinner date, we do our taxes and take time off from work to […]

Homeowner’s Insurance Companies That Don’t Discriminate Against Bully Breeds

One of the many things I hadn’t realized about the stigma of pit bull ownership was that my home insurance company wouldn’t cover any claims I made against the property due to damage or burglary because I own a pit bull mix. The policy becomes null the moment the pet enters the home even if […]

Pit Bulls and Parolees (TV Show)

Ever since my fur-nephew Dexter stayed with us for a few months, pit bulls and pit mixes references have popped out of nowhere! Maybe I see them more now that I have my own pittie mix, but it is clear that there is a push nationwide to fight the stigma of the breed. In Ohio, […]
