Tough On Toys
Uh, no, not that. That’s not tough on toys. This, however, is tough on toys. That’s Tempus, the borderjack. Or as we like to call him “RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!” Tempus leans a little to the crazy side of things. And at agility class, Tempus requires some kind of toy distraction to keep him [...]
ZOMG! 12!
Twelve years ago today, Tweed entered this world and I am ever so grateful that he did. He was born in a rescuer’s home to a cattle herding border collie mama, who found herself in the family way by a sneaky Australian Shepherd foster dog who could climb fences. In other words, his conception was [...]
The Night Is Dark And Full Of Terriers
So a little while back on the Wootube FB page I mused about comparisons of my dogs to Game of Thrones characters. And when I took that photo of Spring and the caption popped into my bean, I could resist doing a post about it. I was momentarily disappointed that I didn’t have more dogs [...]
No Means No
Sometimes life’s lessons are hard: (view large for giggliest results) Meet my latest project! This is Bryce, the Dog Formerly Known As Tyson. Bryce is a 5-6 month old puppy and what’s known in our parts as a “Rez Special.” He’s a mix of this, that and probably the other too. He weighs just over [...]
Through With Chickens Thursday
Not really *through* with chickens, just through with them in my dining room! One week old chicks are very cute, quiet and peepalicious. One MONTH old chickens are screeching pterodactyls who shit constantly and never sleep. And because I like to sleep, it’s time to move my babies outside. On reflection, I notice that this [...]
Cast Off TWoosday
This is a good TWoosday because a) it’s my Thursday this week and b) Tweed gets his cast off today! We’re all celebrating!
Come and Knock On Our Door …
We’ve been waiting for you! Where the kisses are hers and hers and his Three kittens for you!! Doo, doo, doo-doo, doo! (how fun is my job??)
Spring For President!
Spring For President! Do you have eyeballs that need washing? Popcorn that needs eating? Rabbits that requires chasing? Is there a spot on your bed that needs to be warmed up in 20lb-terrier-ball increments? Are there tug toys in your home that are going unshaken? Geese on your lawn that _nobody_ is warning you about [...]
A Terrible TWoosday for Tweed’s Tortured Toes
Today Tweed visits Dr. Bowra for another round of prolotherapy and the beginning of three weeks of jail for him :( You’ll wish him the very best won’t you? Won’t you? Pretty please? At least it’s not his birthday gift this time around. Birthday? Will there be cake? THERE’D BETTER BE CAKE. We’re hoping the [...]
Yo Mama’s So Fat …
Yo Mama’s dog’s so fat he can’t even scratch himself. ZOMG, what have I done to the WooTWoo? They are both jiggly tubs of Jello these days. Yesterday I asked Mr. Woo for a “sit” and he plunked himself down with his back legs sticking straight out in front of him on either side of his [...]
You Promised It Would Get Better Now, But You Lied
*WARNING* This post is full of ME POUTING!!! Don’t say you weren’t cautioned before you read it! Bad luck comes in more than threes, apparently … either that, or Karma can’t count. Or maybe Karma is getting all sophisticated and is slotting my bad luck into categories rather than single events. Or maybe I asked [...]
What a wonderful world…
NOT. I’m going to change my name from “The Food Lady” to “Dogs Make Me Grouchy And Are Bad For My Bank Account So I’m Getting Goldfish Instead.” Yes, it’s rather a mouthful, but it more accurately reflects today’s current trends. Hot on the heels of Piper trying to commit suicide and then swallowing the [...]
Pig Wars!!
Did you know that March is the international Adopt A Rescue Guinea Pig Month? That’s what Petfinder claims anyway. So it was a neat coincidence when another local animal shelter claimed to have “the cutest pair of male guinea pigs ever” available for adoption on a local discussion board. Because I beg to differ. *I* [...]
Lame
as in Tweed is lame. AGAIN. As I type, he is sequestered in his crate, moaning away about the injustice of it all. I have this theory that Tweed’s agility karma is ruled by a sleepy, but mean spirited, powerful entity. This entity sleeps most of the year away, but once every February or March [...]
Noble Beast(s)
I took a sick day today … I was up most of last night with a killer headache and by the time it finally subsided and I was about to fall asleep my alarm went off. I was like the walking dead, and emotionally exhausted from the head pain, so I called ‘er in and [...]
Rain, Rain Go Away
ZOMG I am SO SICK OF RAIN. I am consuming enough water to hydrate a small 3rd world country with the amount of dirty dog towels I have to wash every other day. Sometimes I get so irritated I just throw out the dirty towels, but then I have to take more home from work [...]
Fast and Dirty Post
I don’t have a lot of time to post today because I am going to ride my horse! I am leasing a very old (but still very spry!) quarter horse named Gibson who is teaching me to ride. Right now I am taking lessons on Gibson until I feel confident enough to take him out [...]
