Country Life
So I was driving down a country road today when I spied something out of the driver’s side window. I had exactly 11 seconds to stop and take a couple of photos before I had to continue on since traffic was coming up behind me, and there were no shoulders on road, and I was [...]
Don’t mind us, we’re mindless
I’ve got Dexter in training to be a mindless idiot with no training on him whatsoever. Say whuuut? That’s right … according to one of the stupidest discussions on a breed board I’ve ever read to date, if you play fetch with your dog, you’re just an mindless idiot imposing your mindlessness and idiocy on [...]
Like it was never here
Snow’s all gone. And for no reason whatsover, here’s a photo of Wootie eating peanut butter.
It’s beginning to look a lot like
… like it’s damn cold outside! That’s the start of our first official snowfall. I realize it doesn’t look like much, but that was taken two hours ago. Now the snow has covered everything already, and my thermometer tells me it’s -3 outside. That’s just too darn cold. And the snow continues to fall. ETA: [...]
It’s coming from inside the house!
So there we were this morning, enjoying some Wootie Toy in the horse paddock. Wootie got some air and some Mad Teeth(tm) And then he was off and running like a shot I wasn’t sure what he was after. Could have been the big bold as brass coyote who was standing on my lawn in [...]

Help a puppy, win a prize!
This little fella: is just 9 weeks old, and somehow has already managed to get run over by a car :( His people brought him into a vet clinic and learned that surgery to fix his fractured pelvis and hip would cost upwards of $1000.00, which they did not have. So they surrendered him to [...]
3 Tails From Today
ha ha. “Tail” #1 Let’s sing a song. Little Fatty WooWoo Was digging in the swamp grass Killing all the field mice And looking sad when I took them away I know, I know … one day I won’t be able to catch him and then he WILL eat them. But by golly, I will [...]
Swamp Things
(cue ominous music) When it rains heavily, the back of the property turns into a wet, grassy swamp. This makes all of my dogs (except Dexter) ridiculously happy. They get to swim, splash and bounce around like morons. They also get to hunt. Although really, I don’t know what they are hunting for. Maybe for [...]
Blackie Spit Off Leash Park
The dogs give it Two Tongues Up. The “dry” off leash area was all sandy, so no mud!! (Big improvement over, say, my own property) And it had dogs for Wootie to play with. He was so excited he used his magical powers to transform his Flamboyance ™ into the back end of a cattle [...]
Farm Dogs
are too poor for real toys. They have to make do with old milk jugs, and sticks. Which they may or may not find whilst digging up the horse paddock OMG! Are we poor? Yes Dexter, we are very poor! And we almost got a lot poorer recently too. The other day, we thought Piper [...]
Pineapple Express
Being no stranger to the PNW and its wet weather patterns, I was unsurprised (but unimpressed) to awake a couple of days ago to relentless, pounding, whipping, freezing and CONSTANT punishing rain that lasted for days and days. I don’t *like it* but I wasn’t shocked or anything. I wasn’t even surprised when late afternoon [...]
Fitting in
Listen kid, if you want to be a part of this family, you’ll listen to my advice. First things first – you can’t be afraid of Mad Teeth ™. No hiding. Face your fears And give ‘em as good as you get ‘em.Ha ha! That’s my boy. He’s learning the ropes around here pretty good [...]
This is great
The view this afternoon from my patio doorThey all touched down in the big pines surrounding my yard, and sang for about half an hour. The noise was deafening, but amazing. I think they were red winged blackbirds.This is NOT so great:That’s after ONE potty trip, and right after those mats were freshly washed. The [...]
Home, Home on the Range
We’re back! Did you miss us? We are finally all moved in. That’s not the same as being settled in or even the same as being unpacked. But why waste time unpacking when we can be exploring our new neighborhood? We are located at the end of a dead-end road and surrounded by dykes and [...]
Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations! Your rescue dog has just been reproductively sterilized and will no longer be capable of adding to the world’s population of unwanted pets. Your rescue dog has just had fairly major abdominal surgery, so please follow these instructions to make the healing process as successful as possible. Keep your dog quiet for as long [...]
FAME! (she’s gonna learn how to fly)
TDBCR rescue dog Joey moved to Australia with her adopted mum a couple of years ago. Big changes for a shy little rescue that was pulled out of a kill shelter in Washington State! But it was a good thing, because it was proof positive that it is in fact possible to move house, across [...]
