Michelle Koechle - Oh my gosh, poor Dixie! As the owner of 5 dogs, I highly recommend getting some Vetericyn and always having it on hand. They have a great gel spray kind that is awesome because you can spray it on a cut, wound, scratch, etc. and not have to put a bandage on top of it. The spray hardens and sets and acts as the bandage itself. Very handy for all doggie parents. :)

jenn - i am glad you keep this frivolous friday series, melissa! always something to look forward to before the weekend. and thank you for the book recommendation, i am short a few dollars for amazon shipping haha perfect timing!

Kristi - I may have cried when Manny and Jan were on their date. And my husband may/definitely have made fun of me. But it was just SO cute!!!!

Ali - Congratulations on your new Align record! :) Love your wirey bracelet
