Visiting with students at Kutztown University today. Dogs make life better.

My pandemic puppy is now five years old. Happy birthday Trace!

Go Birds.

Spending a week with other daycare owners and managers could not have been better timed. We wrapped up our time with a boat trip in the bay.

Good luck to our PA State Representatives, who were sworn in today. I hope it is a productive session.

Celebrating my team.

Holiday pics at work this week. Here’s my four pups.

It’s important to support our local small businesses. Getting the cookie sundae instead of making dinner at home is a sacrifice I’ll make to support The Peppermint Stick Candy Ice Cream Parlor.

When it blooms between the holidays, is it a Thanksgiving cactus or a Christmas cactus?

My PSA to everyone gathering with friends and family this week:

If a child doesn’t want to give you a hug at a family gathering, just offer a fist bump or handshake instead.

Lessons on consent start early. Set an example for other adults, too.

I love this framing for dogs. I think we can apply this grace to humans, too.

The sound of rain is so unfamiliar this year. It is normally such a soothing sound, but is keeping me awake tonight. I’m thankful for it anyway. Berks county can certainly use it.

My beagle Blue enjoyed her time in our Play School program today. It’s so nice to focus on her joy.

My first post should be a dog, right? Here’s my dude, Trace.
