There are always posts on this board (both P&CE related and not) that I want to respond to but never do b/c I feel like I should introduce myself first... Today it was the kid throwing a rock post:
Sibil - It would have taken everything in me not to throw a rock back.
and the Hunger Games question - I'm so excited for midnight tonight!
I'm Renata, I live in NJ, I got married in October and we have a frenchie named Fifi. I used to teach in Newark but now I'm an educational consultant so I work remotely but travel a LOT (bleh it's NOT fun).

Click me, click me!

Thank you

Love that story and Bostons too! H & I volunteer for an organization called S.N.O.R.T. that rescues brachycephalic dogs and they get a lot of adorable Bostons. Fifi is a rescue... her original parents got divorced and neither wanted her. She doesn't even remember them now. Probably because we let her do things like this:
