Romp, expedition, adventure, odyssey, quest. Along the way, maybe I’ll find better words to describe my life. My days are filled with the work of raising children, serving a retired canine racing queen, trying to run when my body allows it, hugging my husband, choosing between board games, books, and sleep, and never being truly bored.

Life with a retired racing greyhound.

Sunny girl.

Much like a cat, Bella loves the sun and glares at me when I tell her it's time to come in.

This is what tired looks like.

Bella grew up with other greyhounds and she is the happiest around other dogs. She adores us, which is evident by her chatters when we come home, but the presence of another canine is like electricity for her. We've been caring for a puppy and Bella is exhausted, but she is unbelievably content.

A dog and two kids, actually still at the same time.

Clean clothes = dog pillow.
