Maybe I am crazy or maybe it was the spring air, but when I took my dog out to the park Monday night, for our first long walk of the season, I think I could safely say I was lost - lost on a disc golf course.

Most people who know me already know this, but for those of you who do not know me personally, I have a problem. I am addicted to buying purses. At any given time, I probably have enough purses to start a rental business and still have my own choice of styles.
Although I am a big fan of Coach purses, a purse does not have to be designer for me to want it. It does not have to be expensive. In fact, it does not even have to be new.

The dog days of spring

I have a dog. He's a really sweet, loyal, golden retriever mix. I am not a dog person, but Zen has wriggled his way into my heart. Having said that, though, Zen has some bad habits.
When I met John Sullivan of Bark Busters for our story that ran April 30, he was training Mookie, a nearly two-year-old Yorkie. Mookie lived alone in his home with his human parents and no children. And Mookie, being a Yorkie, is a small dog. Although his jumping on visitors is rude, it is not dangerous.
Zen, on the other hand, weighs in at more than 60 pounds. He lives in a house with two children under the age of 10. When he goes running full force to greet my youngest and jumps to lick him, he knocks him head over teakettle.
