Murder on Food Lady’s Farm

No, it wasn’t Wootie.  He’s bleeding from the head because he was crashing through the pokies again.  Some dogs never learn. And it wasn’t TWooie either, even though it looks like it probably was. And I *am* thinking of using him as an agent of destruction. In fact, there has been no murder on Food [...]


Woo / Anti-Woo

We’re boarding Max over the holidays.  He is the Anti-Woo; where Woo is small, Max is large.  Where Woo is orange, Max is white.  Where Woo is curled up on a dog bed in the living room (with his other self:) Max is laying on a dog bed in my bedroom wishing he, too, could [...]


I apologize

in advance for this.  I couldn’t help myself. ********************************************* Twas the week before Christmas and all across the farm the WooTWoo were bringing the little critters harm The moles, they were snuggled safe in earth beds. But no mole is safe from the TWoo’s hungry head! With his scary blue orb like a marquee in [...]


You’re bad. It will come back to bite you in the ass

Or in this case, the face. I realize it’s difficult to understand what’s going on in that crappy photo, so let me narrate. The players: Me.  Wootie.  One extremely large dead fish. The scenario: Wootie gleefully rolling in the dead fish.  Me screaming “Stop that right now!  I SAID STOP IT!  STOP IT STOP IT!  [...]


Total Assimilation

nearing completion: There’s no question that the longer the WooTWoo hang around with one another, the more alike they become. For example; Wootie has definitely become more ill behaved with each passing week.  Neither of them have any use for me or the other dogs.  When I’m pulling on boots and a winter jacket to [...]


More Holiday Greetings

What can I say?  The dogs are very excited about the season ;-) Disco Christmas Dogs (BTW, you should turn on your sound for this.  And you should also keep in mind that my Mom created it!  This is what happens to women who don’t get grandkids!)


Happy Holidays!

Sorry to be MIA, but it’s the holiday season and I’ve been a very busy little bee.  There’s gifts to buy and – most importantly – Santa photos to take!  Thanks to all your generosity, we raised a very generous amount for rescue today, so thank you to all of you who came out for [...]


Fish Heads, Fish Heads, Roly Poly Fish Heads

There were so many good potential titles for today’s post.  The “fish heads” song was one of a handful available to me!  But because the fish head caused the most strife, it won. Something clearly plucked this REALLY UGLY fish out of my river and ate everything but the head.  So Dexter, being the honorable [...]


All Your Goats Are Belong To Me

My neighbours got a baby goat, and his name is Jack.  Jill arrives tomorrow apparently.  Right now the goats are living in their backyard, but they’re going to fence in the pasture directly behind my house and then the WooTWoo will have something brand new to obsess over day and night.  When they asked the [...]


P is for Puppies

who are cute enough to eat! They’re 6 weeks old or so now, and living up to their candy names – they are sweet sweet sweet! Tootsie, who is going to live in North Vancouver. Mars, who is going to live on Saltspring Island. Snickers, who is going to live in Coquitlam. Smartie, who is [...]


Tweed:

Best. Happy Snow Day Face.  EVER. So the weather has decided that if it cannot freeze us out, it will snow us in instead.  After several days of temperatures dropping as low as -12C, it has warmed up to a balmy -2C and covered us all in a very thick blanket of snow, which continues [...]


A-hunting we will go …

Damn but it’s cold outside! It snowed just enough to look ugly outside, and then the temperature dropped and now the weather is in status.  It won’t snow, and it won’t warm up.  It was below freezing when we went on our morning walk!  Brrrrr. Apparently, Tweed’s manly chest hair WAS predictive, because if this [...]


There’s more than one way to skin a cat

Excuse you.  You might like to rephrase yourself. My apologies Donut. Everyone save yourselves!  She’s going to start skinning cats! Should I be concerned?  Am I a cat? No, but you eat enough cat shit out of the litter box that you might soon become one.  I swear, every time he gets over one bad [...]


Dexter is so much awesome

and so are all of you.  Thanks so much for all your votes!!


Vampire Puppy

missed Halloween by two weeks. Oh I went and visited some sweet sweet Candy Puppies today, oh yes I did!  It was a week ago today that I dropped them off and 6 days since I saw them last, so a visit was long overdue. But first. FREE TO GOOD HOME: TWOOIE Cuz he ate [...]


In Blueberry Fields

In blueberry fields, the collies grow Making ridiculous faces, row on row TWooie’s probably disgusted that I just trivialized Remembrance Day by marginalizing that poem. But it’s not like we can even have a moment of silence around here.  TWoo and Dex are too busy making ugly noises at one another.  The unfriendlieness between those [...]


Vote for Dexter!

A little while ago Ginny’s mum suggested I enter a photo in the NTI Global contest running on the DogSport Magazine Facebook page.  They’re looking for a new face to advertise their products, and after some deliberation, I decided to enter this face: I chose this photo because I figured they’d get a million sport-specific [...]


Tweed’s no good, very sad day

I took his collection of Tiny Humpables away and gave them to someone else. You’re mean, and I hate you. It all started when I had a big fight with Ruth, and kicked her out of the house. You suck, and I’m going to eat your face. Just kidding.  She was trying to get a [...]


Tweed’s most truly awesomest best day ever, seriously

Today was Tweed’s Christmas day, lottery win and found-not-guilty-of-a-heinous-crime-by-a-jury-of-his-peers day all rolled into one fantabulous moment. I can haz good day? For today was the momentous event when Ruthie decided that Tweed could puppysit while she explored the house. There is nothing in the whole world that Tweed likes better than itty bitty puppies.  I [...]


It’s Halloween. I haz candy for you.

After much (delirious, feverish) deliberation on puppy names (whilst laying in a semi-coma of flu on my sofa), I have decided to go with the candy theme in honour of Halloween.  Christmas reindeer – had that litter already.  Snow White and the 7 Dwarves?  Had that litter too.  Dance names – ditto.  But candy – [...]


Flu you, pal

Ugh.  I woke up this morning, my first post-movie free day off, with knives buried in my throat and some kind of flashing heater in my sinuses and brainpan.  I feel like ten kinds of poop, and this thing is kicking my ass all around the house.  I can’t remember the last time I was [...]

Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire

Did I foolishly declare that my time was my own in the last entry?? After spending a luxuriously lazy Thursday accomplishing exactly nothing at all except making it to agility class in real pants, not pajamas, I got a phone call at 10PM that evening that said “Your call time tomorrow is 11AM.”  Call time?  [...]


The Star Of The Show

Hi ya’ll, I’m back!  Have you missed The Woofs and The WooTwoo? Now that my free time is my free time once again, I can finally tell you all what we’ve been doing and why we’ve been MIA.  I know you’ve been holding your collective breath ;-) One of my dogs is going to be [...]
