Dog Training….Unraveled

Lumpy and smashed

There seem to be quite a lot of things no one tells you about being pregnant. The first is, well, it sucks. You have this great, romantic image in your head of how you’ll float through, glowing and thrilled, and your belly will be so cute and round. You will spend you days staring into […]

Other fun things dogs do in Wyoming

Dyson decided that after a vigorous game of ball, taking a dip on Mom’s ornamental fish pond would be a great idea… twice. That poor fish in there, I’m sure he thinks his life is over.
We had no sooner finished dinner and turned to put dishes away and Teak thought she’d climb onto the dining […]

Teak’s adventures in Wyoming

So I decided to take the doggies on a little trip to Wyoming. Why? Because my momma lives there and I thought I’d go and soak up some sun on her deck and let my beasties run like mad in her yard. Mom had two doggies also, both pugs, JB who is Jester’s younger brother […]

Flyball super dogs!!

Dyson and Teak made their flyball competition debuts at the “Racing Rim Country” tournament put on by our team in Payson, Az. It was pretty cool, way fun, and so neat to watch it all come together. Teak did a bit better than Dyson, while she may not be as fast as the dogs with […]

How cute is that?

So we went to Build a Bear in Vegas this weekend. A good friend of ours gave us a gift card for puppysitting her dog - Hi Bella!. Josh made a cute floppy bunny for our baby, and I, of course, couldn’t resist making this black lab. It was the little assistance dog jacket that […]

And you think I’m nuts

I live in a condo. With four dogs. And three cats. And four birds. One of which is very loud. And two very well behaved fish. One husband. One poor, sad, tortured husband who never knew he loved pets quite this much. People think I’m nuts. They tell me so all the time as they […]

So glad!!

Thrilled to discover that I am not the only one who thinks pushing your perfectly capable of walking little dog in a stroller is like, one of the weirdest things ever. I laughed hysterically over this post - check it out!
I wondered if other people noticed. It’s just weird man. Let them walk. They’re DOGS […]

Karma’s Birthday

Ok, so I probably should have posted this ON her birthday, but since she can’t work the computer yet, she’ll never know. Karma turned 6 on April 27, and to celebrate we dressed her up in pink bows and brought yummy cookies to share with the flyball team. Now, I don’t normally make a big […]

Decadence and hedonism

We went to Las Vegas this weekend. One last grown up trip before we get baby. It was fabulous. We were lazy and slept all day.
Vegas really is a culture all it’s own. Within the first 20 minutes, before we had even checked in, I saw some lady vomit into her hand and all over […]

Things I say to my dogs that I hope I never have to say to my child

Kids being kids though, I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if I have to utter these words in her direction.
1) Please don’t eat the snails.
2) Good girl for pooping outside!
3) Stop scrounging under the birdcage.
4) Did you piss on the couch again?
5) Stop nose raping the cat! (For Teak, and her incessant need to try to […]
