By Kera, on March 27th, 2012 2:00 p.m. It is the day before the move, I am full of excitement and nervousness. The move got switched to Friday instead of Sunday. We had originally agreed to move around 2:00 p.m. on Friday and then it was switched to noon.

The life of a dog is certainly one to be envied. We get to sleep, play and eat all day. I used to live in a large home, where I used to play Nascar in the house all day with my terrier friends. I miss that sometimes. I grew up . . . → Read More: Tiny House Living: A Guest Post From Riley the Dog.
