A Year Since Derek Was Hit By A Car

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Kelly Wymer

A year ago today, our son was hit by a car, and our lives changed in a very drastic and dramatic way. I had put Ashley down for her afternoon nap, and piled Jason and Derek into the car to go pick up Troy from preschool. Jason didn’t work that day, so he was home [...]

Dogs, Clogs, and Date Night Dialogue

Posted on April 20, 2013 by Kelly Wymer

The day started out pretty normal. I got the boys up and ready for school, came home and had my essential cup pot of coffee. Derek and Ashley got up soon after, and so I fed them and got them ready for the day. Jason’s car has some sort of metal on metal grinding sound, [...]

A Tragedy With The Pups

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Kelly Wymer

I mentioned before that I have a lot to say in regards to the pups. Here is the story that may or may not have a happy ending, depending on how you look at it. As many of you that read this blog before already know, the pups were becoming a problem because they were [...]

Kiddos and Pups is Back!!

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Kelly Wymer

Sheesh! I thought I was NEVER going to get back to Kiddos and Pups. I missed it more than I would have expected. Things have been crazy around here, which is what resulted in the 3-month hiatus…and it still is…but I missed blogging too much, so I have decided to get things going and to [...]

We Have Lost Pups!

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Holy cow! Things are crazy around here. Last night, somewhere around 7pm last night, I looked around and noticed there were no pups anywhere to be seen. I asked the kids where they were, and they looked around and didn’t see them. Now, I know there were there just a little bit before this because [...]

Is that Rain?? In Kansas??? For Real??

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Something Strange This Way Comes I stepped outside a moment ago, and something very strange started to happen. There was this breeze. I recognized it from my childhood. It was even a bit cool on my face. But that was not the weird part. The leaves in the trees were rustling in a strange sort [...]

Cleaning the Garage

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Several times a year we have to face it. There is no ignoring it. The job must be done. The garage. It is a horrible and ugly task, but very necessary. You see, the way our house is structured, in order for the kids and puppies to go outside to the backyard, they have to [...]

Echo’s Revenge

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

Echo just had to get revenge. He and Sierra had once again jail-broke the backyard and decided they were going to explore the neighborhood. They were snitched on by the kiddos, and so I headed out the front door, leash in hand…again. I saw them four or five houses down, sniffing emphatically at a bush. [...]

The Tooth Fairy…For Dogs??

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

I was getting Ashley and Derek out of the bath, and Troy and Jason were brushing their teeth. Ashley gets done and wanders out into the hallway. All of a sudden, Troy says, “Ma! Ma! Ashley lost a tooth!” Now, Ash is only 19 months old. She should not be losing a tooth right now, [...]

Ode to the Puppies

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Kelly Wymer

You were three weeks old When we brought you home. You could barely walk Or eat on your own. Little balls of fur So kind and sweet. Cuddled up in a ball On the floor by my feet. I would feed you milk Three times a day, And teach you to sit, Shake hands, and [...]
