    Kiva - loans that change lives
    This is my personal blog: part Underwood typewriter, part moleskine journal, part snapshot-covered refrigerator door. If it were a movie, it would have a PG-13 rating (some language; so far, no violence). Welcome!



    Check out my "lifestyle" blog, Noteworthy. Like Gwyneth's, but more off-the-rack. The discount rack.

    Then one foggy Christmas Eve...

    With each pregnancy, Patrick put forth the name "Roscoe" as a contender, in honor of a favorite great-uncle. Cooler heads fortunately prevailed.

    "Forget it," I said, adamantly, three times in a row. "You can name a dog Roscoe. Not a kid of mine."

    Meet Roscoe.

    Oh holy crap is that dog cute. My word.

    PS. My word verification was "enconing". I hope that he is never enconed.

    Awwwww! Perfect name for a super-cute puppy. Welcome to the world of dog ownership (she said, from the middle of a furball).

    What a cutie! He looks like lots of fun (and trouble, if he's anything like my Pearl). Enjoy!

    He's really adorable and did you notice he seems to have a mark on his chest that looks like a cross?

    I love Roscoe, both the name and the dog.

    P.S. Unlike Schmutzie, my word verification is "terto." Because, apparentely, Roscoe is as cute as a terto.

    Cuter, even.

    Oh my word, is that dog cute or what? Must not show my husband and must remind myself that I have three cats of which one would have a heart attack if ever a dog would cross the threshold.

    What a face! He's adorable! And I'm slightly relieved to see no trace of Jack Russell in him, from what I can tell. Have fun with young Roscoe! The boys must think the world of him!

    Such a cutie. My hubby wanted to name our boys "Mosey" as in "Mosey Lister," a famous composer. In TX, though, mosey means to amble. I said, "you can name the dog Mosey."
    :)

    Love your writing! :)

    I had a Roscoe when I was a little girl. He was, quite possibly, the best dog ever. Here's to hoping your Roscoe is just as wonderful.

    ...I'm not sure that Rosco has a rival for being adorable on this earth.
