November 14th 2009. I was 3 months pregnant, and I was visiting The Burlington Humane Society. I was there strictly to gather information for a blog post I was writing. I even brought Tom, my husband, to be sure I didn’t go home with a dog.
Perhaps it would have been better to bring someone who didn’t like dogs because we ended up with Angus. Almost 100 lbs of drooling love.
I will file this blog under the category “WTF” and “Things I Wish I Had Never Heard.”
Our dog, as is the case with most dogs, enjoys a good crotch sniffing. We try to dissuade him, but he persists.
So, the other day, Tom walked into the den and the dog was eye balls deep in Ethan’s crotch, but rather than pushing the dog away, Ethan was bouncing up and down.
In a move that Tom probably regrets, he asked Ethan what he was doing. His answer?
“Tea bagging the dog”
Like I said... WTF?

What’s her expertise? Keeping the peace, or rather, trying to keep the peace. With one spouse, two ex’s & four children all trying to blend together, it’s not always easy but she somehow makes it work.
Maureen’s here to give you some pointers on how it’s done in her house... and her ex's house... and her husband’s ex's house, and her sister's friend's, and the cousins... oh you get the point! She’ll share the trials and tribulations of being an ex, a step, a women, and a mother – helping to put the F-U in dysfunctional along the way.
In Maureen’s other life, she worked in sports television for almost 15 years and somehow still isn’t a sports fan… unless the kids are playing. She also enjoys writing and has been dreaming of being published since she was a kid. Twitter + Erica Ehm = dream come true!
