Huge Boobs!!!
Mona’s got ‘em. Baywatch Mona!We’ve been taking Mona out and about to the park and beach this last week or so, now that her puppies no longer need to nurse every 22 seconds and can take an hour or two off to sleep and shit. Mona thinks this is just super. Sand is fun! Water [...]
Eep.
Now I’m a little worried. Statistically, in genetics, a merle-to-merle breeding will produce a 1:4 ratio of homozygous merle pups. Such pups are generally all white, or white with minimal colour, and often they are blind, or deaf, or both, or partially both. Sometimes they are born with no eyes at all. Breeding a merle [...]
I Spy, With My Little Eye …
I apologize in advance, dear readers, for I have failed you. My flash died on me this evening and I am out of batteries, which means I didn’t get any real good photos. The light in here is not sufficient on its own to get great shots. But if you look closely, you’ll see that [...]
Houston, we have lift off!! (no photos)
We have our first open eye!! Little Jan was peering in my general direction with her left eyeball when I arrived home from work. I woke up all the other puppies to check for eyeballs, but only Jan appears to have one. Now the real fun begins!
Are They Gone Yet?
No? Damn. Why God, why are there still puppies?An offering to the Gods to make puppies go bye bye?Sorry Pipesy Doodle, the puppies are still with us. And they are 9 or 10 days old. I’m not really sure if they were born Saturday night or Sunday morning, so it can be either one. They [...]
Poor, Poor Red Dog
The patient convalesces. My poor baby!! He’s super out of it. For starters, Big RD never does anything in half measures. The tooth he broke off fence fighting with houseguest Mona was the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. The piece I found on the floor was the only piece which was intact. The [...]
Uncle Tweed watches the kiddos
Mona has discovered raw meaty bones, and likes them a lot, whether there is meat on them or not. Even week-old picked clean bones appeal to Mommy Mona and she was elated to learn they are laying all over the house, in the event someone feels like a chew. Mona has decided that Uncle Tweed [...]
Happy Birthday to the Brady Bunch
Today the puppies are one week old. “Yay, happy-freakin’-birthday. Go home now.”Piper has no love for Mona and her puppies. Mona the Mama has gotten a lot happier though. She is a little more relaxed about her babes and a little happier in general.We still aren’t sure what Mona is. The Catahoula people say she [...]
Mr. Woo, Lion Hunter
Grrrrr. It’s no “Fifa” but Woo says it’ll do. This is going to be a short one, because I need a night off! Pups are fed, dogs are walked, and I’m going to kick back on the sofa and relax. But before I go … puppies, day 5! Look! It’s a puppy in a hat!Oooooh, [...]
Who’s Number One?
Why is there a placement podium at the dog park? …Were you waiting for an answer? I dunno!! But we know who #1 is!!And boy did he dream big today! Today he apparently dreamt he could bust into the puppy pen and eat mama’s food. Mama dog disagreed. They argued through metal. RED DOG LOST [...]
Blah blah AWWWW blah blah
Awwww!What a capture, right? Little wee merle with the big mama merle. How cute is that?? I know how much you all love the puppy photos. That’s why I am going to show you something else instead. For Hallowe’en I’m going to be Torture Lady ™. You can just ignore these. After all, they are [...]
Shut up, Lars!!
“You’re not the boss of me! Shut up!”Lars is an evil little shit. He has designated me “Auntie Chuck-It RIGHT NOW Lady.” Even though he has his own perfectly good Dad with his own perfectly functioning Chuck-It, Lars believes I should throw his ball for him … endlessly. Never mind I am throwing balls for [...]
Idle Hands Are The Devil’s Playground
or something like that. First things first. Thanks to all of your for comments and emails about the loss of my dear departed Toilet Kitty. His death was very traumatic and sad, I’m not ready to share it with you yet. But all of your condolences and kind words and well wishes were really, really [...]
My bathroom is empty

Look out, world!!!
Before you stands what is, without question, the world’s newest and most terrifying force to be reckoned with in the venue of dog agility. Standing 16 3/4″ tall and weighing in at a portly 26lbs, this orange furry sausage appended to the universally renowned Flamboyance ™ is going to take the sport of agility and [...]
Fun With Cola!!
You can do a lot with a can of coke. Tweed says “Say what?”Our lovely assistant Piper fetches the prop.And the fun begins. “Oh you have got to be kidding me.”Tweed says he refuses to be humiliated. He puts his foot down, but … HA HA!And it just gets worse from here. “I wish I [...]
Leggo My Eggo
Leggo My EggoSkipper has developed a powerful fascination with the Wootie toy.And they say border collies are intense?!?These photos aren’t really great in terms of quality, but for those of you who are fans of the Big Red Dog, look what the poor guy has to put up with whenever he gets the ball. Ohmigod, [...]
… And Good Things Come To Those That Wait
Perhaps I spoke too soon. Today was not sunny, but it was bright and it wasn’t raining either. That can only mean one thing … a trip to the beach! A photograph of the elusive “dry” Red Dog. This poor dog is basically damp all winter long. We go for a play in the morning [...]
All Good Things Come To An End
The season ticket office of the outdoor action photo has definitely closed, faithful readers. I lugged the big guns (ie zoom lens) to the beach in the rain and snapped 154 photos, and am only unashamed of one. Le sigh.There was even photographic evidence of old man Skipper *swimming* – yes, swimming, a first in [...]
Victory Wiener
Yeah, yeah, I know … I said I was taking some time off. But today Tweed and I entered an All-Team agility trial, and my little wiener not only got out of Advanced Team this morning, but also got his first leg of his Masters Team title this afternoon. For this, he deserves a mention. [...]
R.I.P. Grandma
This week my grandma passed away, after a long struggle with a variety of painful and debilitating health problems. I didn’t know my grandmother very well at all, as she lives in another province far away where they speak mostly French. But I know my mother is sad and in pain, so if you kind [...]

Excuse me, I think your cat is upside down.
“Excuse me, I think your cat is upside down.” “I hate to be a pest, but the floor is really far away. I wish you’d do something about that.”“Oh hi – I’m right here. No need to take photos of boring old Skip!”Speaking of Skipper … is it just me, or does he look like [...]
How Much Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The PAIN
I like tattoos. I like dogs. I don’t care for dog tattoos. This was my compromise.All 4 of my hounds are now memorialized on my person. Here’s an interesting fact – when you get a tattoo on your forearm, it makes your hand sweat. Weird, huh? I felt like my hand thought it was in [...]
