Since becoming a mom, I have found it hard to meet new "momfriends". On top of being the only one of my friends who has children, I also moved across the country from NYC here to LA where I know no one! I have joined a few moms’ meetups and as great as they were for the children, I was looking for something more for myself. That is why I started this group. Momfriends is a place for us moms to build quality relationships with other women. If you have just moved to the area or if none of your cur …

"He is the clown of the dog fraternity, canines answer to vaudeville. A laugh a minute, lives life to the fullest, a maximum velocity version of canine slapstick. But he is also a sympathetic soul, a shoulder to cry on, a confidante. He is all that is good in a dog. He is of course The Boxer" (from the article Canine Clowns by Matthew Cowley) "The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love an …
