Last Chance!!

Just a reminder that today is your last chance to vote in the rescue dogs calendar contest!!  Tonight the comments will be closed and tomorrow I will tally them up and announce your winners! So go ahead and vote! Why are you still sitting there?  Go vote!  And then bring me a cookie.


Jack of no trades

Master of Sassmouth. Don’t worry, it will all make sense eventually. Did you get a chance to watch the National Sheepdog Finals this past weekend (as instructed!!)?  Man, what a bunch of nail-biter performances!  Patrick Shannahan and Riggs laid down a simply lovely run to win the whole shebang after a kind of “eep!  zomg, [...]


I Gotta Bone To Pick With You

Remove facebox and go away now plz.  Kthxbai. We were recently gifted with a box of rawhide bones.  I don’t feed these things to my dogs, as I prefer to give them healthier, raw bones to snack on, but I figured what the heck … they’d come in handy for those super shitty weather days, [...]


OK Go

I am quite certain you’ve all seen this already, as it’s gone so viral, and it’s been sent to me about 100 times via email and Facebook, but in case you haven’t seen it, you must watch.  And even if you HAVE seen it, you should watch it again.  Here’s a couple of pieces of [...]


Reasons to love Tweed

Reason #1: He went 4 for 4 at the PAC trial today!  Two Masters Jumpers with Qs and 1st places, a 1st Place Q in Masters Snooker and a 2nd place and a Q in Steeplechase.  He was just a titch slower than the 1st place dog because he ran past the weaves entrance, which [...]


In which Dexter learns

that which goes around most assuredly comes around again. OOOOOWWWWW!!!  As doG is my witness, I shall never hunt down and pounce upon my elders again! West continues to unravel here at Casa de Food Lady.  He has figured out how to play, even with me. He’s developing an interest in toys. And Piper taught [...]


Go West, young man.

Saturday morning, Race the devil puppy left for his new home, where he has his very own Golden Retriever to play with.  I had two glorious hours to myself and then, because idle hands are the devil’s playground, I picked up my next project. Meet West. Oh hai. West came with the name “Wesson” as [...]


The “hole” family

These cement pipes are stacked at the back of my neighbours’ property and I have always wanted to photograph my dogs in them, so today I did! You can see Mr. Woo believes himself to be at the very top of the family totem pole. Whereas TWooie is busy resenting his place at the very [...]


Just a reminder

That there are 13 spots available in the calendar, so you don’t *really* have to use all 5 of your votes on the same dog, or only cast one vote for one dog (not that this is directed specifically at Tess’ fanclub or anything.  Nope.  ha ha). But the enthusiasm is awesome and great to [...]


2011 Rescue Dog Calendar Contest

It’s that time again!! Here are 30 odd images of rescue dogs from the last 12-18 months that have come through TDBCR’s doors. We try to put out a calendar every year – some years we hold a submission and voting contest, but I didn’t get it together to do that this year. Instead, I [...]


Knuckle-dragging mouth-breather

Been wondering where we’ve been?  The Food Lady has been working – that’s right, I said working!  I’ve talked my way into a part time gig at a municipal animal shelter, so I’ve been doing this hellish commute every morning and every evening.  I basically wake up, go to work, come home and go to [...]
