Yes world, my pets ARE precious snowflakes
July 8, 2009
I frequently walk into a room only to notice Fat Louie sitting in very weird places and gazing intently at nothing. I woke up early this morning to find him having a stare down with an ottoman. More and more it seems like otherwise rational people are coming to believe their pets’ quirks make them truly unique, distinctive, totally different from …Read more »
Dog the Birdie Hunter
July 8, 2009
I sometimes wonder why I bother spending a good portion of my paycheck on new toys for the puppies. No matter what brightly colored/squeaking/furry/flying toy I am convinced will entertain them, they seem most content chasing and eating birds or chewing tree branches (and then throwing up on the carpet).
School Daze
July 7, 2009
After a recent bout of destruction in our house, I made the decision to sign Bruno up for training at PetSmart. When I first got him, about a dozen people asked if I’d be taking him through training, and I would kind of nod and smile, while thinking in my head that I was wayyy too lazy to give up …Read more »
In the darkness of night
July 7, 2009
The past two times I've been out of town, my boyfriend insists that Copley is up to something. The first time, he complained that she stared at him the whole time. He even took pictures to prove it.
“Home Alone” – And Happy About It
July 6, 2009
Remember when you were a teenager, doodling on your notebook and merrily daydreaming about all of your future plans? I used to picture my posh adult life: I'd be well off; married to a nice, handsome man (hello, Joey Lawrence!) and I'd be the CEO of my own business...yep, I had the vision seared into my mind down to the …Read more »
Japanese Beach Babies
July 6, 2009
Living in the desert in Phoenix, Arizona, it’s rare to find the opportunity to enjoy a day at the beach. This weekend, my mission was to give my desert dogs a “taste” of the ocean. I wanted them to feel the sand beneath their paws and the ocean breeze blowing through their puppy fur. We loaded the car and drove …Read more »
The Greatest Gift
July 2, 2009
I used to think I would never be able to do it. To make the decision to say good bye. Two weeks ago I had to do it for the third time. Another Boxer. Another Brain tumor.
Getting Fit with Miss Molly B
July 1, 2009
Swoosh! A blur of red fur and flying puppy feet: Molly is at it again. There seems to be no constraint to her boundless energy. I often feel sorry for Rosso: while on the one hand he now has a play buddy, it more often seems he wants to rest but instead is subjected to incessant entreaties to wrestle from …Read more »
Are you a good citizen?
July 1, 2009
On June 13th, Copley took her CGC or Canine Good Citizen test for the second time. Thankfully, we passed this time. Regardless of whether or not you have an AKC dog, I highly recommend training your dog on the CGC competencies. http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/
