Get Yourself a Memory Like an Elephant with the Educational and Entertaining Zoo Snap App

Zoo Snap

I’ve played Memory probably a gazillion times in my life. I can’t… uh… actually remember the exact number, but trust me, it’s a lot. As a kid, I’d take a deck of cards, lay them all out face down and then play “matching” with my sister. When my kids were younger we played a few [...]

The Blog Post Where Ryan Finally Gets a Pet!

IMG_2203

Ryan has been clamoring for a dog for the past two years. Not a day goes by without hearing, “When are we going to get a dog?” Allie and I are big animal lovers and definitely want a dog (or two) but Jason’s not a big fan. He used to be petrified of them and [...]

Meet SqueeDogs, a Facebook Game Actually Worth Playing

home world

When it comes to Facebook games, I pretty much only play the puzzle and word-based ones. I’ve tried a number of the other types of games (open your own restaurant, build your medieval empire, etc.) but they pretty much suffer from the same problem I have with 90% of Dean R Koontz’s suspense novels: they’re [...]

77-Pound Dachshund Weighs More Than My Kids!

77-Pound Dachshund

So Allie runs into my office and  says I have to see this video about a 77-pound weiner dog. Dachshunds are just adorable little “hot dogs.” If I owned you, better believe I’d dress him up in a hot dog costume all the time. Anyways, this poor little, er, obese pup named Obie was apparently [...]

Animals Asia Moon Bear

My friend Morgan (my wife’s college buddy) has also been a huge animal lover. In her California home, she’s pretty much running her own animal shelter with a dog and probably 19 cats at this point (give or take a dozen or so). She currently works for Animals Asia, an organization I had never even [...]
