Today Abel went for his annual vet check up/vaccines. Last time he had been to the vet he had only been four months so a lot has changed. We had a pool going around for people to guess Abel's weight. The guesses ranged from 60 - 89 pounds. The real weight? 66 pounds! I had guessed 72. I knew he couldn't be terriblly heavy because I was on the one who had to lift him on the vet table.

All is good. His maloclusion is all gone and his teeth line up perfectly :) The only problem is that…

Check this out! What amazing dogs and handlers!! Such a great idea for fundraising!!

It has been a full week since Scottie has been fostered with us. He doesn’t have the self-confidence of his big brother Harvey, but he has come a long way in a week. Amazingly, he has had only 1 accident in the house and that was the morning after he arrived. He hadn’t figured out the stair-thingy yet and was afraid to go down the stairs. But fear of the stairs is ancient history (at least in a dog’s…

It SHOCKS me to realize that I've only been fostering this sweet boy for a week, because he has made SO much progress...progress that I didn't expect to see for several weeks.

Harvey now prances. Words fail me when I see him trotting alongside Callie and they both have their heads and tails raised high, gazing confidently about. He's letting down his guard enough to be a little goofy sometimes. He completely eviscerated a stuffed toy - he was so proud you would have thought…

Hi everyone....it's been hard for mom to get on here lately.....her and dad was on vacation for 2 weeks. We didn't go anywhere.....they thought it would be good to stay around home and work with me.....I guess it paid off....I am house broke now and a very good puppy......it's hard for me to do too much wrong....Ellie, my big sister keeps me in line.

I had to go to the vet last week.....my 4 month shots and a check up on my gums.....I even…

Well it's been forever since I've been on DK...as life has been quite hectic...just needed to get this out and get some DK support.

Last night, my husband was driving my pup (15 months) to PetSmart as Bentley loves to roam the aisles at PetSmart. A car in front of him rearended the car in front of it...and he slammed on the brakes to prevent getting our brand new SUV in an accident as well....well Bentley fell off his seat... (We don't have a riding holster...but are now…

I don't know if anyone else is into watching these reality series family shows on TLC like I am. I watch them all Kate Plus 8, 19 Kids & Counting, the Little Couple, etc. It brings me to this new show called "Quints by Surprise". Quints by Surprise is about the Jones family from Texas. They have a 7ish year old daughter and 22ish month quints (5 Babies! Holy Cow!). Let me just say I cannnot EVEN imagine!!

On the episode, I think it was Monday night, the family has to move…

Hi all - Harvey is coming right along and I'll write a longer update this week. Mostly, I just wanted y'all to see how cute he is! He has an incredibly handsome face and is just brimming with sweetness. He's still scared of some things, but is making great progress! He's getting groomed tomorrow, so I'll post new pictures after that!

We are currently being pounded by Hurricane Igor, tons of rain and lots of wind. There has been a lot of flooding and some roads are washed out. Several communities have declared states of emergency. The main highway across Newfoundland is closed due to washout conditions. So far we have not lost power but that is likely to change. We are totally ok where we are and the only problem we have is minor. I always take Quincy out on a leash to potty and today I tried sending him out on a long…
