I'm Officially "One Of Those People"

I took the plunge and made Darwin a facebook profile today.

I know some people think it is crazy, or embarrassing, but I just couldn't resist! I now can upload as many photos as I want without looking totally crazy on my own profile. :-) Plus, I get friend requests at least 3 or 4 times a month from some random person saying "I like your dog" Now they can just add him as a friend! DH tried to council me against it... but I ignored him. It's just too much fun.…

Our Very Expensive Mistake.

I learned a lesson about procrastination today. See, we bathe Darwin quite a bit. And I know you are supposed to buy ear wash, put cotton balls in their ears, pluck hair, etc. to avoid ear infections. But we don't have any ear wash, and he has never had an infection before so I just put off buying it. For some reason I just didn't worry.

Well, we went to a lake this past week, and guess who got an ear infection? Yep, poor Darwin has yeasty, red ears. We took him to the vet…

Poor Darwin, And Poor Us!

We recently realized a huge coincidence that I thought I would share. I can't decide if it's more horrible, or hilarious. I'll let you decide.... :-)

At our old apartment complex, we had a very, very annoying dog living nearby. The culprit?

That's right, a Jack Russel Terrier. Some people love the feisty, fearless attitudes of…

Working on Agility

Well, I found my memory card, and promptly took Darwin down to the dog park for a photo shoot. If any of you didn't read my first post, I moved and our new apartment has a dog park. I've been working on agility with him, because the park has the equipment for it. I was hoping for some great action shots... but my point and shoot can only do so much. Darwin is getting so great at all of the obstacles, I'm so proud!

Darwin likes laying in the tubes more than…

Moving To A New Place

First off, I have to apologize if this post isn't very interesting. I hate doing a post without photos... but we lost our memory card when we moved, unfortunately.... so I haven't been able to take any photos.

We moved a couple of weeks ago. Our old apartment wanted to raise our rent, and since it wasn't too great in the first place, we decided to look elsewhere. It is VERY hard to find an apartment that allows a 70+ lb dog, but we found our new place, and it's great. It is…

Why On Earth Do People Do This?

I have had a hard time recently with people I know getting dogs, who are completely unprepared. These are people I grew up with, who were always aware of my dog-obsessed attitude. Because of this, a few of them have contacted me when they got a dog, wanting to catch up, and share photos. I have been shocked at how little these people know about the breeds they just purchased. They have literally said "I am so scared, I don't know anything about dogs!" and "I am a cat person, but I went to a dog… Continue
