I love my dogs. Anyone that reads this blog knows that. But they are pricey. They have to go to their doctor every year, and that ain't covered. Sorry, It's cash on the barrel head for that service, Mein Freundes. Wut? A vet visit? Aria is a rescue. Her mom was adopted by a family … Continue reading A Visit to the Vet

Clearing the Mind
The weather here lately is stunning. This morning it was 65 degrees, sunny, with zero humidity. Here in Dallas, it's as if we are being rewarded after the beatdown of the summer heat, which this year wasn't so bad. Sort of like getting that lollipop after a shot at the doctors. Funny, I've never gotten … Continue reading Clearing the Mind
Dogs, We don’t Deserve Them
The weather is changing here in North Texas. The way I describe it is that sometime in May/June, someone waddles over to the big weather furnace and turns it one. This year, it was late, well after a cool, wet spring. From that point, it's hot. Damn hot. Africa hot. Then, sometime in September/October they … Continue reading Dogs, We don’t Deserve Them
A Slow Week Ramble
So goes another week burning PTO. I really didn't have a honey-do list. Herself rarely has a list for me, depending on me to keep things in order. While at lunch today, she asked what all I got done. Other than the gate, I couldn't think of one thing. What I didn't do is get … Continue reading A Slow Week Ramble
Utter Mayhem
Last night I had a district meeting of the vast right wing conspiracy club. I belong to a number of men's groups, that are involved in mainly charity, but are also social to some extent. A lot of the blogs on my roll to the right extol the virtues of bonding with other men and … Continue reading Utter Mayhem
A Mouthy Little Dude
I was farting around on Vimeo and discovered a video I forgot to post. I can't believe I forgot this! Probably because not long after the little dude had his accident... https://vimeo.com/593051565 Come on man! Jasper wants to play. But it's 50-50 that Aria gives him a beatdown for coming near her when she's sleeping … Continue reading A Mouthy Little Dude
Where I’m at Today
It's not working. To be honest, If I were holding a stick, guaranteed something funny would happen. [God creating Dogs] "Ooh, these came out great. I'm going to want all these back at some point"Twitter post Lazy Well?
Head Clearing
I'm worn out from watching the news and complaining about it. Fed Up. You know what cures that? Dogs. They don't care about such things. The weather broke here and it's absolutely beautiful. Why not spend some time chucking a ball to the pups? They really are amazing creatures, and that line that we don't … Continue reading Head Clearing
Jasper Update
Hopefully the last Jasper update. So thanks to the labor day holiday, Jasper had to wait another two days to get his stitches out. It was a tough morning. He had beaten his 'reusable' cone to death and learned how to remove it. It's sitting on the counter, dirty and battered. It took no time … Continue reading Jasper Update
Make Your Own Dog Food?
My dogs all get a mix of kibble and some canned food. After spending tons of money on high end food that bothered their guts, I settled on IAMS which has worked well. Especially on the wallet. I mix it with a bit of Pedigree canned food. Usually Chicken and Rice. Oddly enough, this cheaper … Continue reading Make Your Own Dog Food?
