About Me

We just adopted the biggest dog in the entire world, well one of the biggest dogs we've seen. I love our new puppy, Captain Salty Dog aka Cappy. Okay, so he's not quite a puppy (he's 4 and his racing weight was a lean 80 lbs) but is the biggest sweetheart. Cappy is an ex-racing greyhound, and now he's our baby! He sleeps more than my lazy ass cat, which is why he gets to come to work with me. Taking potty walks is so much better than taking smoke breaks. I know, I'm too old and too young to use the word potty, but that's what happens when you spend time with two four year olds. One is a little girl, the other is a big boy.
