We have the best doggie ever.  NOT!  Last night he removed one of my expensive shoe boots from a shoe cubby inside the closet.  I found it this morning.... it was chewed on!  I'm still so mad I want to choke him.  The boot was one year old. :(

Hey doods and doodettes, Peri here!

It's been a while since I've popped in and a lots been goin' on at my house recently.  First of all, last week every day this truck would pull up to our house in the morning and stay all day while mom and dad were at work.  I heard mom say they were "painting the trim".  Well, that means I got to bark my head off at them all day long.  The last day they were there, diddy accidentally set that buzzing thing (they call it the alarm) - but the…

Several weeks ago, I was a Jersey shore girl and spent the weekend with friends and my daughter in Cape May, New Jersey.  We left in a torrential downpour and any attempts to tease my hair like Snooki failed miserably.

It was disappointing to arrive in New Jersey with my own flat hair, but with all the rain and humidity I had no choice.  My one friend was born and…

I recieved this on FB and thought it was worth sharing!

Finally, I am in the water!!…

I think I have too many photos to put here but I will give it a try.  Gracie is sitting here telling me that she wants all her beach photos posted...I had to tell her there are way too many so I will probably have to put them in my "Photos" section of my page.…

Hey, I bet you all have just about given up on me but here I am back doing what I love the most...swimming, playing with my tennis ball and being with my Mom and Dad on outings.  It has been a tough 5 months for my Mom with her mother dying, a good friend dying, having an Estate Sale and getting her mother's house ready to sell, a niece getting married, my Dad moving his office home, grandchildren visiting and the various out of town trips where I had to go to the Dog Ranch which normally I…

The flooding in Thailand has not improved. In fact, might be getting worst as maybe parts are under 1-2 meters of water and water levels are not expected to recede for at least another MONTH!

Water's moving down from the north and have now reached the northern suburbs of Bangkok.

The capital city of Bangkok has many flood gates which protects it from…

A quiet Bailey equals a doodle gone bad...  Poor girl got caught in the act of chewing on my little scarecrow girl.  Bailey is trying to hide her face with no where to go...  It did make me laugh...

Wow--what a difference a few days makes--the eyes are all open in Lyric's litter now and everyone is toddling around. They have started to do a little bit of playing and are finding the newspaper to do their business more often. Momma is getting pretty tired but hanging in there. She takes long breaks now and hangs out with us between feedings. She is not the most devoted mom in that she will leave them for hours at a time now, but she knows they are safe and barks outside the puppy room…

Well Duncan is down for the count. We started the day at 11:30am to head to a doggie costume parade in our local park....He didn't win but enjoyed seeing some of his friends. The costume part he wasn't thrilled about (he was a Sheriff) but he was a real sport and kept the hat on long enough for me to snap some pics. Then it was straight to Dogtoberfest which is an annual event my dog walking company sponsors at our local beer garden. Yes! an outdoor beer garden where the dogs have biscuits…

Our very dear friend Laurie has got to be one of the kindest souls I've ever known. When I mentioned that because of Winston's expensive vet bills I'd have to put off getting him a new bed, Laurie immediately sent me a message saying she would like to buy Winston a new bed. I was blown away by her kindness and generosity! I gratefully accepted her offer and we went about the complicated task of picking out the perfect memory foam doggie bed. I finally found the perfect bed and we ordered it…

An old story, from when Camus was 3 months old.

One very early morning, Camus was let outside just for a minute. That was enough for him to find and eat a bee. Within five minutes, we couldn't recognize our pup. His muzzy was bigger than his head.  He could barely breeze. And we had no idea of what had happened. Scary! Of course, on that day, we were the first ones at the vet's office. 2 injections, $150, 2 hours and our pup was back to normal. 

On the next morning, when we…

Busy saturday with the pup..

Off to buy a new training collar, then to the park and maybe hit a pumpkin patch for some picture taking on the way home..

Have a great day all!

Hi Guys and Gals,

Well it was a successful day today. I credit my Breeder for such a sweet heart Thanks Barb. She is sooooo good already. I know a puppy is a puppy, but wow what a difference from others.  She is so calm, but still a puppy. she already shadows my every step outside. she already goes to her crate on her own, when tired. she hasn't barked at all, and she's only whimpered a few times while I was preparing dinner, and had to have her in her crate until I was ready…

Last week, I called our regular groomer to get Fudge and Vern in for an appointment.  As soon as I asked her if she had something available very, very soon, she said, “You must not have remembered. I have surgery tomorrow.” WHAT??  Well, of course I didn’t remember. I spend about 2 hours a day looking for my car keys, purse, reading glasses, or TV remote, and I am lucky if I get where I need to be going before dinner.  I have left car keys on the roof of the van and once drove to Gettysburg…
