Now officially 9 months old (in April), Smaug is walking that fine line between lanky goofball and budding professional. The legs? Long. The attention span? Improving. The charm? Off the charts. I swear he grows every night in his sleep—and somehow wakes up even more... Read more

I had a quiet month as I went into heat, and I had to wear these silly panties! I didn’t get to go anywhere except I did get to go to a girl’s party where I didn’t have to wear my panties. I like to stretch out at home, and sometimes I just like to... Read more
