Hey Hey!!!  Can you believe it's 2022?  I cannot!  It seems like the last few years are a blur and a lot of people I talked to feel the same way.  Can we say new year, new ink colors?  Or maybe refreshing new year, refreshed ink colors??

You cannot see much jus looking at the ink pads covered, but take a look uncovered! The older colors are on the left and the new on t ..read more

It's been a little crazy around here since about May and that's after all the COVID general crazy that everyone has been dealing with. The house was so very different after Sheldon passed at the beginning of the pandemic.  We were already trying to find a new normal with that and then his loss was a big one.  I am so glad that we were both working at home and able to spend the time with him and also with Jetson to get him used to being an only dog. I know, it sounds crazy "only dog", but Jetson came from a litter of nine and into a household with three other dogs, so he has never bee ..read more

Hey Hey!  Happy Memorial Day Monday. I am in a reminiscing mood today, reflecting on all the changes that have transpired over the last few years and just feeling a little melancholy. I thought it might be a good time to write a blog post (or two), since I was in the mood. I have decided that from now on, life is short and we will celebrate all dog birthdays in a big way. I wish we had been doing this all long, you cannot change the past, but you can move forward. This layout is up on the Thermo O Web blog as of Saturday and you can find that post with all the layout details and ..read more
