Snuggle Time
Before Howie, there were no dog beds in our room. Okay, that’s not quite true. In the last few weeks of Smokey’s life, one of the big dog beds we had had for him and Moree came into our room in case he did not want to get on the …

The Dog Ate My Wallet (Among Other Things)
As you may have noticed, I also have a personal finance blog called The Dog Ate My Wallet. That is not just a reference to how expensive pets can be, but also a true statement. In honor of that, I am posting today a list of all the things our …
Reflections on the Fourth
On some level, I feel bad for my friends for whom Thundershirts don’t work because at our house, they continue to be worth our dogs’ weights in gold. This year was enough different from last year that I thought maybe I was remembering it incorrectly, so I went back and …
A Rescue
My computer and camera are still not playing nice. So instead of a real post, I bring you this video, which shows a stray dog being rescued. It’s very sweet.
We’ve Lost our Junebug (to the small person)
It has been a busy week, so while there are actual posts living in my head that I should write, I’m too lazy to write them. Instead you get this- pictures of Junebug in her new preferred sleeping spot- with SP. On this particular night, SP decided the most comfortable …

I feel like I don’t write much about the Larry dog. Junebug is our medical mystery and constantly having tummy troubles. Howie is our little old man with a lot of issues going on. Larry, at roughly 5 years old, is a consistently healthy little dog. He does not have …
Guest Post: Ralph the Rez Dog
It started out as a normal business trip, well at least when you live over four hours from a major airport anyway. My office staff and I were off to a conference in Las Vegas. Since it takes about 12 hours to get there by plane and 8 hours to …
A Dog Too Many
On Thursday some of our friends had to go out of town for because the wife had a two day interview a few hours away, and the husband was going to look at neighborhoods in case they end up moving. We had made arrangements over a week before for us …
