The Apex Predator
There can only be one; the animal that is at the very top of the food chain, a relentless menace to all those quivering below in the competition for food. This creature is deadly, terrifying and eats anything in its path. WTF? It’s not me! I mean, it *could* be me, but it’s not me. [...]
Happy Random Jellyfish Day!
Random Jellyfish. Another random jellyfish! I have never ever seen jellyfish at East Beach before, so this was a rare occurrence! So rare, I thought we should celebrate, and I bought a cookiecake for the occasion. Unfortunately, for some reason, the store wrote “Yappy Barkday” on the cookiecake. This joke is already wearing thin, and [...]
What A Pisser
And no, I don’t mean the rain, which caught us unaware this morning, as I walked my beasts in my pajamas. Hard to believe that just a few days ago I was too hot to type, and now I am wearing a sweater. Summer in Vancouver is such a tease! Why just yesterday we were [...]

The Elusive Fraser Valley DitchPig
Usually TDBCR alumni Zephyr looks like this: (Photo courtesy of Mambomutts Photography) But when he came out to Food Lady’s farm he found the only standing “water” left on the whole 10 acres in this heat wave we’re having. I say “water” because in actual fact it is about 10 inches of stagnant, extremely vile [...]
Neener, neener, neener!
I have 8 dogs, and you don’t! Wait … what? Yeah, why am I bragging about that anyway? It must be a form of insanity. The same insanity that whispered in my ear that 8 dogs wasn’t a big deal, for a couple of days. I don’t think these voices have my best interests at [...]
Dexter stands on stuff (alternate title: Between Two Bastards)
This was supposed to be a totally different entry. Originally I was going to discuss family social dynamics, because lately I have been seeing quite a lot of this: and this: And this: When the dogs get all really riled up, Dexter likes to “attack” Piper and Tweed likes to “attack” Dexter. Dex’s attacks on [...]
Holy Red Ball of Death!
At least, so sayeth The TWoo. Although TWooie has made many strides since coming to live on the Food Lady’s Farm, grasping the concept of “fun” in the act of catching something thrown at you is NOT one of the things he has mastered. You can tell by the blissfully ignorant look on his face [...]
Stop Buggin’ Me!!
These guys are all over every single flower / weed / thistle on the property and they are always – ALWAYS – gettin’ it on! It’s a live bug orgy sex show all over the farm. It bugs me. But not as much as Ginny bugs her little-big sister Flip. On Friday we went to [...]
