Her real name is Maybelline. But we call her Maybe. We picked her up from the breeder at 8 weeks. She is a second generation golden doodle and should top out around 30 pounds. Three weeks later, she is part of the family and all dogs are happy again.
Here is Maybe’s arrival at home.
Moonshine, the 110 pound golden meets his new sister and pack member.

The thing about having a fire is that you work on wood a bunch well before ever having the fire itself. The kitchen fire is going all winter when it is below 40. Why that cutoff? Because first you have to cut the wood, spilt the wood, move the wood, stack the wood, move the wood again, store some on the porch, move some inside and then finally burn it. See?
Fortunately, I have help most of the time.

Because of the Liberal, that’s why. It all started as a hack of Torani Amer and Regan’s Orange bitters #6. But that was before Amer Picon from France. Now there is always Amer Picon in the house, a band called the Bitter Liberals, and a house cocktail.
Then came a Thanksgiving, Christa, and talk of Neroli-Petitgrain oranges growing in East Tennessee.
So yes, Amer Picon. Lets make it. Using ultra local super hot white dog. Lets make it.
