Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman, is trying to kill me.
OK, not really, but that’s the only way I can justify the photo assignment she’s having this week.
P-Dubs has a photo assignment every now and then, which allows her fans and blog-followers showcase their “best of” photos. Then she picks finalists and gives out sweet prizes. [...]

Dogs are tricksters. Ours is a very good trickster.
A perk to living so close to work is that I can meet REB at home for lunch. It also means I get to see the dog and he can TCB outside. If he does his business, we just leave him out (block off the kitchen and [...]

Anyone who lives in Michigan, knows how cold it can get here. It seems like the winter season goes on for longer than any other season we have here. It starts to get cold in November/December but doesn’t really snow until around Christmas. We get slammed with some kind of snow accumulation in January and [...]

I know I’ve said it a countless number of times just how much I love my dog. I treat him like a kid. No joke. Whenever he gets sick or makes a weird noise, I tend to freak out and think something is severely wrong with them. One of my friends even told me, “Never [...]

Today Gryff met his second cousin, Luda. REB”s cousin is the proud, new owner of an English bulldog and he is the cutest little thing ever! He’s only about 5 months old, but he already weighs more than Gryff. I was so glad I was able to see the two of them play together before [...]

Jowls. It’s such a weird and funny word. He basically passed out since coming home from doggy day camp.
**snore**
It should be noted that I was basically squeezed into one corner of the couch and his long frame took up the rest of the couch.
The snow keeps his paws pink and clean. There would be gross [...]

Gryff knows this. He does not take sleep for granted. I’m sure if he could sleep all day, he would.
…Oh wait. He already does that.
I’ve already said this, but I’m fairly certain I just might have the cutest dog ever.
This is what happens after he plays with other dogs for 8 hours straight. He’s out [...]

When we got Gryff last March, the Michigan weather Gods weren’t quite done dumping more snow on us. If you live in Michigan, you know that it won’t snow until December-ish, and it will last until the first or second week of April. It’s something we get used to and something I complain about constantly [...]

Welcome to notaleaf[dot]com.
I officially own this domain now! Ilovemonkeys[dot]com is no more. One of my friends was so incredibly nice to host my site for me and also buy me this as my birthday gift! I was pretty stoked – thanks Kat!! (^_^) The blog is the same, but I’ll try and update it more [...]

I found some pictures of Gryff and me on my laptop that had been taken with the Mac cam. They were from early April when he was about 8 or 9 weeks old – not long after we got him. I took a few more photos with the Mac cam tonight. Gryffzilla will be 9 [...]
