Honk If You’re Nosy!

Honk If You're Nosy!

I swear, Tweed has the biggest schnoz.  All the better to smell food with, he says.  Is this normal for senior dogs, to become ever-increasingly obsessed with eating?  Tweed’s always been a chow hound, but lately he’s downright irritating about it. Of course, TWooie is no slouch in the eating and/or nose department either … [...]


Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!!

Twas the TWoosday Before Christmas


Doggie Death Wish

Seriously Riddle? Obviously, Riddle wants to die. Actually, what Riddle wants is a new home for Christmas.  I can’t believe she’s still not been adopted.  I show her to everyone who comes into the shelter looking to adopt a dog, and they gaze at her for a moment or two and then say “okay thanks” [...]


TWoosday! It’s TWoosday!


‘Tis the season to be thankful

…unless you’re TWooie. We got a giftie in the mail from a lovely blog reader this week!  She sent us a quick release leash thingie for TWooie’s collar, so there will be no more broken-finger incidents.  And as an added bonus, she sent us this giant donut, which TWooie does not want on his head. [...]


Late TWoosday Holiday Greetings

Late TWoosday Holiday Greetings

I am madly editing Santa photos to have them ready for this weekend, but I did manage to sneak in a little TWoosday greeting, just for you:)


Just because I Luff Him

Just because I Luff Him

Tweed and Santa from today: If I start editing photos now, I will not sleep tonight and I gotta go to work tomorrow!  But I do expect the next several evenings to consist of me with my face against the computer screen editing and photoshopping the some 1300 photos I took today.  We had about [...]


Flashdance!

Last year at Santa photos, my tripod fell over and the hotshoe on my flash cracked in half.  It and the camera were no longer on speaking terms as a result.  I tucked Mr Flash away in a drawer and forgot about it, after having a silent, private temper tantrum. Of course this year I [...]


Tweed’s Tail of Woe

Tweed's Tail of Woe

I came home the other day to find big chunks of red hair laying around the floor, and a very conspicuous portion of Tweed’s tail missing.  Not his actual fleshy tail, but rather some of the important bit – the floofy part. Not a very good or exciting photograph, I know … but you can [...]


Are you a fan of TWoosday?

Kind of like TWooie’s tail is a FAN of TWoosday?  Get it?  A FAN?


Furry Friday

Furry Friday

I wasn’t going to blog today, as I was busy doing some other stuff, but when Spring heard I was slacking, she held the little Riddle hostage. You’d better post something, or the wee terrier gets it. Yes, Riddle is STILL WITH ME.  How is this possible?  Who wouldn’t love that scruffy little face and [...]


Forget Me Not TWoosday

TWooie is askance, for I forgot it was his day.  Could it be because we had a crazy windstorm last night, and I spent this morning hunting for my agility tunnel and my barbeque cover, both of which had blown one farm over, rather than posting pictures of TWooie? Sorry TWoo.


Tweed – I like him so much, I bronzed him!

Tweed, ATCh, MSDC, Bronze Award of Merit!! It’s a shitty photo, but my flash is still broken and I was in a hurry to get something I could post for you :) I’m very proud of my boy – he went 2 for 3 in his Masters Standards, and the one he dropped a bar [...]


One down, one to go!

Tweed had a beautiful, clean Masters Standard run tonight, all contacts firmly hit!  It must be my birthday or something ;)  One more to go, and he gets his Bronze.  Cross your fingers for us tomorrow please! In other news – old lady dog from Animal Control is safely in a foster home.  We’ve dubbed [...]


What a cock!

Happy Feathered Friday!


Reunited and it feels so good ….

Reunited and it feels so good ....

TWooie has his Woo back, and he is pleased beyond measure.  Woo was away for a few days being a “shelter” dog in a movie coming out next year.  Can you believe I’ve become so blase about my dogs being used for film work that I didn’t even ask the name of the production when [...]


Hug your dog TWoosday

Last night on our evening walk, TWooie almost died.  So today is Thank doG TWooie Is Still With Us TWoosday. I took TWooie by his collar with two fingers last night – a greyhound style fabric martingale – to turn him around when I saw someone coming down the road with a dog.  It’s our [...]


Feathered Friday

Somebody suggested a Feathered Friday where I post photos of my chickens.  I can’t promise I will do this every Friday – after all, Friday is no TWoosday – but when I have the chance I shall. These are my “eatin’ chickens” – as you can see, I have still not eaten them.  They are [...]


Riddle Me This

Meet my latest project (because I do not have enough to do, apparently).  This is Riddle. Riddle was an unclaimed stray from work.  Once her stray hold was up, we got her spayed and I brought her home with me to foster.  We’ve named her Riddle because her mix is a mystery (even though I [...]


Are you happy that’s it’s TWoosday?


Awkward Family Pet Photos

Have you seen this website?  There are some very funny photos on there.  There are also some deeply disturbing ones! Dexter doesn’t want me to submit this one, but I kinda think I should. Poor Dexter.  Stacks of old truck tires are slippery. And speaking of “poor Dexter,” yesterday I decided it was high time [...]


TWoosday already?

If you can’t see me, it’s not really TWoosday


GET OFF MY LAWN!!

I _won’t_ get off your lawn, you grumpy old goat.  %$#*&@! you and your mother! Did he just say what we think he said? Oh shit. Come back here and fight like a man, you lily livered, yellow bellied hairball! May as well get the whole community involved. Le sigh.  The good news is it [...]
