Friday Dog

Every morning after walking, the two dogs love to play. Aria will get into a mode where she fetches nonstop for 15 minutes or so. https://vimeo.com/786726174 I was at it for a good ten minutes before thinking to grab my phone to video. Normally she'll drop whatever she's chasing at my feet. When she's tuckering … Continue reading Friday Dog →

Dog Stuff

The world's heading to hell in a handbasket. Doesn't seem to bother the dogs one bit. I tried out a new primary doc today. Seems smart and dedicated. The last guy I had blew a cancer diagnosis ("MMMh..don't know. It's not cancer, it's too soft). What he was poking at was a stage 2 tumor … Continue reading Dog Stuff →

Well, that was exciting.

I do my best thinking while walking the dogs in the morning. This morning, I was thinking about how when I leave to walk the dogs, the people that are speeding down my street are the old timers, heading God-knows-where. They are ahead of the soccer moms as the most hazardous thing to pedestrians in … Continue reading Well, that was exciting. →

Sunday Dog Stuff

This weekend the guys have been clingy. Herself is off to the Motherland to visit family. Last couple days she's been home and the dogs have loved it. I've had to stop Jethro from bounding to the door on the end of our walks. They miss her. Tax season this year has been tougher than … Continue reading Sunday Dog Stuff →

Forgot I had this.

I was looking over the stash of video I have and found this: https://vimeo.com/765137815 This is a video of Jasper finding his place in the pack. It's instructive. Look how he both challenges and submits. He's maybe 13 weeks old here. BTW, he was always faster than the other two, and he took advantage of … Continue reading Forgot I had this. →

Odds & Ends

We had our first cold snap around here last night. It was supposed to get in the 30s, but when I let the dogs out early this morning, it was in the high 40s. Brisk. It was nice. I put on a pair of jeans for the first time since May. It's been in the … Continue reading Odds & Ends →

Dog Friday

Everythings going to hell in a handbasket. Inflation sucks. We're ruled by imbeciles. Yada, yada, yada. But at least it's not raining. Here. Yet. Matter of fact, it's gotten quite cool here and the pups love it. Aria really has come alive. She's not a hot weather dog, what with that thick fur coat and … Continue reading Dog Friday →

Playing in the Rain

A grautitous dog video. The intense heat of summer broke a few weeks ago with a decent storm, followed by an awesome rainy day. The next week, I was out walking the dogs and it started sprinkling. Luckily, we were on our way back, and nearly every street I use to return home is covered … Continue reading Playing in the Rain →

Jasper Update

I got an update from the family what adopted Jasper. If you want to catch up, you can here, here, and here. I hadn't heard anything since the first two weeks. They had some usual dog adoption things. Jasper is a man's dog, a ferrari. If you aren't a dog person, adopting him is like … Continue reading Jasper Update →

Protecting the Flock

We had two of the grandkids overnight this weekend. Aria, who's a bit unpredictable with kids was sent to visit her mom. Jethro adores the grandkids and follows them everywhere, which kind of freaks them out. Sizewise, it would be like a pony following me around. We took the kids to the park, walking there … Continue reading Protecting the Flock →
