When Life Feels Like a Circus (and the Dog’s the Ringmaster)

If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know our life is a bit of a circus. I’m beginning to think our sweet pup, Niva, is the ringmaster! This week, she ate a squirrel and got in a fight with a raccoon. Meanwhile, Dakota had a diaper blowout at the library and is still struggling with a double ear infection.

Just when I thought I couldn’t take another L, Sadie beat both me and Jimmy at puzzles—by a landslide. Just your average week at our circus full of critters, diaper changes, and humbling puzzle challenges 😉
