Pugs are prone to getting sore above their nose, because of their facial wrinkles. Wrinkles are basically small crevices, and dirt and germs can collect in those crevices. Combined with a lack of airflow, they are prone to getting irritated or even infected.

That crevice shape is what causes them to require a little bit of extra care vs smooth skin.

Even among purebred pugs, the length of their nose can … Read the rest

My dad’s birth certificate says Jonathan Wayne but for much of my life I nearly forgot that his legal name wasn’t Wayne. Nobody ever called him Jonathan. He was always Wayne.

As a kid, sometimes salesmen would call his house asking for Jon and we’d laugh at the sneaky attempt to disguise themselves as a friend or family member calling. It was a decent guess to think that someone named Jonathan might go by Jon – but my dad never … Read the rest

Last summer when my dad was told that he no longer was having success with hormone-related medication to treat his prostate cancer, he knew he was basically opting for comfort care from there on out. That’s when he suggested that my boyfriend and I move in with him. With me working from home, I would be able to be with him almost all the time.

I had purchased an amazon sample box several months ago. I was left with a $9.99 credit for select brands. There was only one curly girl approved haircare brand that I could spend the credit on.
