I’ve been playing a lot of soccer out in Aspen, apparently it’s all anyone does in the summer. And I’m actually getting kind of good! That might be an overstatement. I’m getting decent, like where people might actually pass me the ball and not expect an immediate turnover. Nali, however, thinks I’m fantastic.

This is Life in Aspen?
OMG LOL CUTE OVERLOAD. Um, I love my pup. And I REALLY love her adventuring out in the snow for the first time! We’re in Aspen with the Vermonster, so we’re both adjusting to frolicking about in snow and cooooold weather. Hunter boots. Fashionable, but not warm in the snow, even with hot pink wool…
Turkey Creek = Happy Doggie
I love taking Nali to one of the nicest off-leash dog trails around, a quick 2.5-mile trail out at Emma Long Park called Turkey Creek (http://www.austinparks.org/apfweb/park.php?parkId=666). With recent rains, the creek was flowing quickly, the weather was a perfect 65 degrees, and my Vibrams were perfect water-mud-rock combo shoes. Nali, my beloved rescue mutt pup,…
The dog days of Austin
Army Wives is my secret must-watch-TV. One of the story lines involved a dog called Lucky that saved some of the soldiers lives by barking out a bomb. So the soldiers try to get him home, and he ends up making back to the base in the United States. Google as I might, I could…

Fashion Genius for Fashion Week
I know I pimp the heck out of Dogeared, but I really just love them. And while we’re not going to be trekking around in the snow running from tent to tent at any Fashion Week any time soon, I really love this updated fanny pack (call it what it is!), a hipster bag with…
Dogeared jewelry – FREE ring!
So I’m kind of obsessed with Dogeared jewelry. It’s so little and dainty and cute but simultaneously awesome and outdoorsy and nature-chick and happy. Basically, it fits anyone’s needs. And beyond that, last year they offered a free necklace with any purchase, and now they’re offering a free ring for your to Ring in the…
The Tale of John-Scott
We–that is, me and my now-Brunch-obsessed pals–were at Moonshine Sunday morning for a little rehashing of last night over bloody marys and southern comfort food. Thrilled that they sat us at the exact same table as the last time we were there, we were even more excited when our server came over. It wasn’t his…
Friday Night Benefit at Tiniest Bar
Starting at 7pm Friday night, Team Spiridon, a local training group, is hosting a benefit concert at Tiniest Bar for empancipet and the Dick Beardsley Foundation–couldn’t decide between animals and people, I guess? Lovers of music, animals, and running will come together for a night inexplicably called Night of the Moustache, featuring a benefit concert…
I’m a Halloweenie
Last year I couldn’t think of anything clever enough, so for Halloween I went as my dog. She’s white with a huge black spot on her eye, so I wore all white, painted a huge black spot on my eye, and wore her collar and leash around my neck (at least people got a kick…
