Our newest addition has arrived and her name is Brooke. We were a bit nervous and unsure of how Sophie would take to her, but everything is going great!! We had a feeling things would go alright because her original owner had her daughter and grandkids living with her, plus Sophie had been around our friend's kids and our nice and did well.

At first she was jelous from time to time when we would pay lots of attention to Brooke and talk to her, but now it doesn't even phase her…

For the past two mornings, she woke up from her sleep and wretched, but nothing came up. We thought maybe she was hungry, probably some stomach acid making her nauseous ,

so we fed her kibble with Manuka honey drizzled over it.



This morning (3rd morning in a row), again she got up from bed and started

wretching. This time, she upchucked something that resembled a turd (sorry,

this is gross!). DH was totally freaked out, cos "it" was on…

Rua here! The Vikings are playing the Green Bay Packers right now so the computer is free and I thought I would up you on what's happening in my life.

I really love water. Eating ice cubes, taking baths, drinking out of a water bottle or jumping in the shower with Momma. I can just walk into the shower, they forgot to put a door on it when they built it apparently. So, as soon as Momma goes into the shower, I give Papa the slip and join her. I asked Papa to take of picture of…

Hi all Roo here! Boy have we had an interesting few weeks. Our sisters came to stay with us while Mom and Dad took the large box things somewhere. Whenever they put clothes in those things Tigger and I get left at home. This last time I put my very best rubber bone in, but Mom took it out. Next time I am putting myself in the box when it is open on the bed and I won't get out. Then I will get to see what they do.

Anyway, Tigger and I like having our…

As far as these human children go-I am not sure I understand all the hubbub, they don’t do very much at first which is fine with me, you know where they are; and they are strapped in- WHEW. Once they start moving and grasping it is all over. I walked past my 9 month old nephew one time and had to turn around quickly to look to see…

So DH and I were getting ready for work this morning, just chatting away with Taquito and Peri (seriously talking to them) and he asks me "Are we crazy? Do you think we talk to our dogs too much? Do other people do this?". I just laughed and said I am sure other people do and he agreed.

But really, how often do you talk to your dogs? Are we over the top because we don't have human children yet? Will this all change?

A typical morning convo with Lady Peri &…

I saw this in my recent Dog Fancy magazine - or maybe it was Modern Dog - I forget. Anyways, how stinking cute is this? It is a personalized dog nose necklace - you use their mold kit and they make it into a necklace for you. This paticularly reminded me of Frannie (Callie) and her love of noses :-)…

Hey Doods I don't know what to do, help me. All last weekend my brother got chicken and rice for dinner and my mom kept telling me "Bear's sick" Monday morning my brother had a hard time getting up and mom helped him, once he was outside I tried to play but he wouldn't. Mom went to work then came home and took my brother and left me I howled and barked 1 1/12 hrs until she got back. Mom made her lunch but she seemed distant then she said "have to go back to work" and I ran into my crate, I…

These are a few pictures of Quincy in his Halloween costume. You can tell by the last picture what he thought of the whole thing. We are thinking about Trick or Treating for our local food bank if it is a nice day on Halloween. How could anybody say no to that face? Quincy's costume cost a total of $3.75 at the dollar store, now we just have to come up with a costume for mom and a wagon to carry our loot.…

Wednesday evening Harvey will be going to his forever home! Kim came and met Harvey last night and it was love at first sight! Kim is an experienced dog owner and understands that while Harvey is still a bit of a diamond in the rough, he IS a diamond!

Harvey was equally smitten, and by the end of the evening was snuggling with his head on Kim's lap. I let her see calm, snuggly indoors Harvey and goofy, energetic dog-park Harvey. She loved both.

Not only will…

Some of you may remember Tara and my adventures when I attempted to scissor cut her awhile ago. The cut turned out pretty well but it took me 8 days. Yes, eight!! And that was just her body!!

Following the sage advice of my DK friends, I have since invested in a pair of Andis Clippers and combs. DH and I clipper cut Tara's body this Saturday and I trimmed her face and legs yesterday and today with scissors. This was INCREDIBLY…
