Callie went to the vet on saturday to get her shots and yearly exam. I took Wilbur along to weigh him (ok fine, to show him off!). Since I got Wilbur, he has only gained 3 lbs. Callie on the other hand has gained 4 lbs.

Not so good. She is officially overweight.

I've tried feeding them separately and that doesn't seem to work. If anything, Callie is MORE active with Wilbur around.

I'm going back to trying separate feedings and hope for the best. I…

Sheila is growing so fast, but it seems like she is all legs, alot like when my daughters were pre-teens. And she is getting braver also when we walk at the park. My DH laughs though because is Sheila gets frightened, like when she was sniffed by loose boxers, she runs behind my DH legs, then when the "danger" has passed, she barks at the offenders. She is fine at daycare with the other little dogs, and when she comes home we call her "dead dog" because she hardly moves for the rest of the…

I stepped onto the porch and there he was visiting my next door neighbor,…

We went on our first off leash hike today, with my son, his girlfriend, and her golden retriever, who is Toby's best buddy. The dogs had a great time. Then we came to a pond. Toby has never been near a body of water before. The golden was puddling at the edge, so Toby went down too. Then, before I knew it, he ran in and just kept going! He was swimming straight across - and this was not a little pond. I must say, my heart jumped into my throat. I had good quality treats in my pocket, and was…

It’s official, Rowdy has allergies! :( We’ve been having a terrible time with Rowdy scratching his face. He would scratch the side of his face until it would bleed. We made numerous trips to the vet and he referred us to a veterinary dermatologist. We finally got skin testing done yesterday and Rowdy indeed has allergies. He is allergic to three kids of mold (Fusarium mix, Aspergillus, and…

We have posted pictures on our page. Please take a look!
