Fiona’s Big Weekend

When I picked up Gibbs at Doggie Do Rite Friday afternoon, I told Stacy that I was a bit worried because Gibbs (all play all day) is not interested in playing with Fiona.  She had tried to engage him several times and he barely… Continue Reading “Fiona’s Big Weekend”

About Her Name

Two things happened at the same time: I needed a name for my new dog. I found some gift cards in my office cabinet.  My boss had given them to me thinking I could create a contest of some sort in our employee newsletter.… Continue Reading “About Her Name”

Introductions

That Border Collie mix I couldn’t get out of my head?  Here she is: Her paperwork from the rescue actually said “Burmese Mountain Dog” which I found pretty funny.  So I am just saying that we have another WonderMutt.  I have several stories to tell about… Continue Reading “Introductions”

Sigmund and the Bunny and the Feathers

The other night I brought home Joker, a rabbit for whom I pet sit once or twice a year.  The last time he was here, Gibbs was a very small puppy, so I was a tiny bit worried about his reaction. No problem.  Gibbs… Continue Reading “Sigmund and the Bunny and the Feathers”

Being Back

I returned from vacation and found my dog has started to figure it out – sometimes I go away.  And while he will still sleep in my bedroom, he spends the better part of the night with my mother which makes no sense because… Continue Reading “Being Back”

At Eleven Months

This past month, Gibbs has decided that he is personally responsible for tracking the whereabouts of Kiwi the Grey whenever she is out of her cage.  This is rather funny on days when he is at Doggie Do Rite and comes home exhausted, as… Continue Reading “At Eleven Months”

Strange New Product Review – Puppy Edition

So Gibbs is back on antibiotics (don’t ask) and I wanted to find a new way to give him the pills.  Yeah, yeah – Pill Pockets.  I worry about them because it seems to me that: Dogs figure out all of the hidden pill… Continue Reading “Strange New Product Review – Puppy Edition”

The Slacking Before the Storm

I have been a total slacker this evening.  I meant to write about Librarything vs GoodReads, but kept getting distracted. I have five volunteer gigs in the next five days.  That’s my excuse.  But since I doubt I’ll be here over the next couple… Continue Reading “The Slacking Before the Storm”
