Tell me your thoughts
November 13, 2009
I was looking at Molly last night and thinking about how cuddly she is. I usually read every night before going to bed, and have gotten into the habit of inviting her up on the bed. She eagerly jumps and crashes right smack next to me with her head tucked under my chin. If I nap, she’ll tuck herself tight …Read more »
No use crying over spilt milk
October 23, 2009
Molly and Rosso don’t know who’s boss. Or, more specifically, I’m realizing they think they are boss. I’m not sure if they’ve determined who between them is the most-most in charge, but they seem to agree it’s not me.
Rosso is a senior dog?
October 16, 2009
...Did anyone tell him? Rosso is feeling better (he’s had Valley Fever). And I can tell this not so much from his healthy weight gain, or the fact that he’s not hanging around in pain, but because he’s starting to act like a naughty puppy. Somehow getting better has brought my dog back to his childhood—a fountain of youth as it …Read more »
A loving little one
October 9, 2009
I cleaned Butterscotch’s home yesterday (a lovely split-level with a loft upstairs) and got to thinking about how surprised I am at how neat guinea pigs are. Honestly when I was looking for a small pet for my daughter, I never considered guinea pigs. I was more considering the mouse or gerbil route. But, being as I am a PetSmart …Read more »
Fall is here!
October 1, 2009
Fall has always been my favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The start of a coolness in the evening, Fall colors, Fall fashion, Fall foods… Being in Arizona, the Fall is particularly welcome to me. While nearly devoid of Fall colors in the trees, there are still signs that I cherish. The coolness and light breeze in …Read more »
Bouncy
September 18, 2009
Molly is a happy dog. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a happier dog. There are times she literally skips around the house with her favorite toy (Kong items, which are the only thing that lasts with her; or, if she’s lucky, her stuffed hippo).
Molly has a secret compartment
September 4, 2009
Invariably, Rosso and Molly will find some random thing on the floor, coffee table—or directly forage in the garbage—and I’ll catch them, happily munching on some foreign object they should not have. Rosso is a good boy, he’s the older of the two and I can usually just tell him to drop it and he will. If he doesn’t (as in …Read more »
Seatbelt for Molly
September 3, 2009
I have often worried about my dogs when I take them for a ride in the car. I’ve always let them stay loose in the back seat, but I hate to see them jostled around. Even if you drive carefully they’re bound to lose their balance. Rosso in particular likes to stick his snout out the window, but he can …Read more »
Beating the Heat
September 3, 2009
I live in Phoenix and it’s been hot here this summer, as always. But I’ve noticed that this year has been harder on Rosso, my nearly 8-year-old Vizsla.
Dog Vacation
July 29, 2009
We had a fantastic week last week, taking Molly on a car ride vacation to Reno to visit my family and, more importantly to her, her sister Rozsi.
