Dog Training….Unraveled

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 […]

Crazy cow dog

Have a fun new client. Something actually challenging instead of you average jumping up, peeing in the house pet. A darling little corgi, who very easy going until someone turns on a ceiling fan, the microwave, or the computer printer. Then he turns into psycho killer herding dog who will keep that darn ceiling fan […]

It’s been awhile

Since I’ve posted, mostly because we ushered in the month of April with NINE dogs here. Yes, nine, as in, way too many to keep track of. I survived it, barely, and life is now returning to normal. Well, as normal as it can be when you live with a small but determined animal who […]
