Phooey
You promised me this wouldn’t hurt anymore. I know Tweed. I know. I guess I lied :( You also promised me we’d have fun at the beach today. But all it did was rain, and all I did was limp. This really sucks. Our cancellation date for Regionals is fast approaching, and I’ve pretty much [...]
Why Life Sucks
So it wasn’t my imagination – Tweed’s limp after running is not normal procedure for recovering from the sesamoid issue :( We went back to the vet today and Tweed has a mystery infection on that foot. It’s hot, and swollen. He should not be limping at all anymore. Why have the agility Regional gods [...]
Born to run!
Or at least, to limp along at a reasonably fast pace. It’s Tweed’s first day back to the wonderful world of off leash exercise! We played a few repetitions of Dumbball, as per the vet’s orders. Everybody else was *extremely* jealous cuz they were locked in the house… but it was Tweed’s special day! He [...]
Is lust a sin?
Perhaps a very small sin. Still, it is evil to sin. And yours sins will be punished. (yip!yip!yip!yip!yip!) This is Jess, available for adoption through our rescue. When her foster home mentioned she was going away for the long weekend and couldn’t bring Jess with her, I offered to puppysit. I admit, I have been [...]
Give me your underpants!
Stupid Dexter. Lately, he has been shamelessly eating my pre-worn underwear and it’s really starting to cheeze me off! Yeah yeah, I know, it’s gross and a forbidden topic. But it’s also very frustrating and I am not afraid to complain about it out loud! I am a pretty tidy person, though I have been [...]
Walkies!!
Hurry up Food Lady. You’re too slow. Why did you deny me this pleasure for so very long? No stopping. Keep walking! That, my friends, is one HAPPY Tweed dog. He started out on 3 legs, starting using his “bad” foot a few minutes into the walk, but was limping quite a lot by the [...]
I’m a prisoner in my own home!
Listen, you gotta get me out of here. I’ve been in here for weeks. It’s SO boring. I thought I made a deal with the guard – we even shook on it! But I’m still in here. I think it’s been longer than weeks – it feels like years. And I don’t even know what [...]
MAD about Ru
Today TDBCR’s Ruger got his Masters Agility Dog of Canada title!! (and also his Masters Jumpers Dog of Canada title) If you know Ru’s story, you understand why we are so proud of him today! Piper got her first Masters Standard Q with a second place. She was running very slowly today, and we can’t [...]
Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me. I think I’ll go eat worms. Why does Piper get to do all the agility? I could do it! HellOOOO! Food Lady!! Are you watching? Tomorrow is our last trial before Regionals. It’s outdoors on grass, and a good opportunity for Piper to learn that outdoors on grass is the same as [...]
Raves ‘n’ Rants ‘n’ and an RIP
RAVE! The cat came back. Yesterday we had an adventure where Dexter saw her on the lawn through the window, Wootie tried to corral her under the old trailer on the property, we were thisclose to catching her and then she eluded me and scooted back under the house. GRRRR. So I gathered up as [...]
The cat’s out of the bag
Or more accurately, the cat’s out of the house. I’ve misplaced my Donut, and I’m Angry about it. Actually, truth be told, I’m worried sick. A couple of days ago, Donut pulled a runner on me. It all started Saturday evening when I got home from the airport (long story, but we flew this little [...]
These awkward photos brought to you by Mother’s Day
Long ago, I made a decision to never parent children, kind of because I don’t really like children very much, and kind of because I think I’d make a crappy parent. If I can’t toss it in a crate in the back of the van to take it to agility class, I’m not real interested [...]
Tweed says
This is awkward But I’m getting the hang of it! I could even run on three legs! Don’t worry, I put a stop to that lickety split!! He’s very stressed out in the crate, so he gets some out-of-crate time for short periods as long as he promises to remain still (ie, he lays down [...]
They say it’s your birthday…
So we got you sesamoid disease. Happy 10th Birthday Tweed! The world’s saddest 10 year old dog from my iPhone. You all owe me a Big Fat Apology!! All your nagging, scolding and berating me for not keeping Tweed crated and it wouldn’t have made an iota of difference anyway! Yeah, I know I asked [...]
This too shall pass
Don’t cross swords with Piper Dawg She’s so bad ass. Today she made Wootie cry, because she bit him when he tried to play with her soccer ball. Which is a basketball. And which does not belong to her. Oh yes it does. All the balls are belong to me! We’re not playing Dumbball these [...]
