Cathy C. Bennett's Blog – June 2013 Archive (7)

Writing this post is painful – both physically and emotionally (keep reading). I feel like a mother who has to tell her athletic “super star” husband, that the son they had together didn’t make the “little league” team, OUCH…

Saturday was Agility training (week 2) for Leo and I.

*Feel free to catch “Agility Training -Just the Two of Us” for a better understanding as to…

If Leo could read, he would probably “bite” my hand for sharing this story! But since he can’t, I will…

It is no secret that Leo adores his beloved “Wilson!”…

His attachment to that soccer ball is worse than Linus with his blanket…

That being said,…

Someone asked me who was Leo more attached to – me or Harley? Hummmmm?

Harley and Leo have been close since day three (it took exactly two days for them to bond)…

If they asked this same question and referenced any other two legged family member I could unconsciously blurt out -  “me!” But because they asked me to choose between Harley and I – there was hesitation in…

When you’ve got projects, work, and doodle/family activities, (or children, cats, etc…) to cram into each day – the days seem to come and go so quickly. At least they do at our house!

Once the sun starts to set on Sunday, and things slow down a bit – I retreat to my office to finalize my thoughts and notes before I post another blog . This Sunday, I couldn’t decide where to begin, because this entire week has been a “blur.”

Then I thought – why not share “a little…

When I tell you Saturday was hot – I mean it was hot! I’m talking “Africa” hot – Tarzan would have limited his “vine” swinging by mid afternoon – for sure!

Several weeks ago I promised some anipals, who were hosting and sponsoring Springfield Days, that The Boys would come out for the Pet Fest activities. Due to the high temperature, DH and I had a mini summit meeting before leaving and decided to bring lots of water, remain in the shade, and not…
