I grew up surrounded by animals, and love animals of all types. For as long as I can remember, I have never been without a pet up until the few months following the passing of my beloved Chiquita in July of 2007.

Before long, Vixen had taken over the small dog side of the park, and was having a blast with all of the other dogs. She even found a Yorkie puppy about her size to chase around... 0 comments/trackbacks
cup covers	Wed 04/23/2008 6:32 PM
I did find some online at a food service supplier, but I'm hoping to find them in a slightly smaller quantity so that I don't have to spend quite so much money at one time. Or at the very least, somewhere local so that I don't have to pay for shipping... 0 comments/trackbacks
grooming and growing	Sun 04/20/2008 6:47 PM
It was an exhausting day for both of them, and they both passed out on the way home... Vixen fighting it the whole way by holding her head up as she slept... 3 comments/trackbacks
canine kids	Fri 03/14/2008 6:04 PM
The two of them are getting along really well, though there are still a few arguments a day, but being that they are both very strong-willed, that may always be the case. Brooskey really loves to play with Vixen, but still hasn't quite figured out how much is too much for her... 2 comments/trackbacks
sneaky siblings	Tue 02/05/2008 7:27 PM
She's a little kissing machine and washes all three of our faces thoroughly every day. Her absolute favorite place to be is in my lap, and I'm more than happy to accommodate... 0 comments/trackbacks
precious pup	Mon 01/28/2008 6:55 PM
Brooskey is maturing more every day and we look forward to all the fun we're going to have with him when he's full grown. And I'm already madly in love with this little girl, even before ever seeing her in person... 1 comments/trackbacks
couch potato	Tue 01/15/2008 5:31 PM
A little while later we caught him in this pose, sitting there on the couch like a little old man with his arm on the armrest, dividing his attention between the TV and people-watching out the window... 0 comments/trackbacks
iconic insanity	Thu 12/13/2007 11:32 AM
Oh yeah, and it's still not decorated. Turns out it's even more difficult to find time to decorate a tree with a puppy, than it is to wrap gifts... 1 comments/trackbacks
teething terror	Tue 11/27/2007 11:19 AM
He might take a couple of nibbles, but when it doesn't work fast enough, he erupts in this burst of pent up frustration, sprinting circles around the house, growling and barking uncontrollably. I recognize this as a display of absolute desperation, because it's about the same thing I would do... 1 comments/trackbacks
smart puppy	Tue 11/06/2007 12:53 PM
I'm amazed at how fast he's learning. He figured out "sit" in no more than twenty minutes in class on Saturday... 0 comments/trackbacks
brooskey update	Fri 10/26/2007 4:31 PM
He'll be going for his second vet visit and second set of puppy shots next Friday. It will be interesting to see just how much weight he's gained... 0 comments/trackbacks
hairy houdini	Mon 10/08/2007 3:57 PM
The trip home with him went really well, all things considered. He tolerated the first two hours or so in the carrier, with a few complaints but sleeping most of the time, which is pretty impressive for a puppy this age... 0 comments/trackbacks

healing weekend	Tue 07/24/2007 7:07 PM
When the weekend hit, we went into keep-busy-and-don't-think mode. We began cleaning up around the house, putting away the mounds of clean laundry that had been accumulating in the bedroom for months, and with the help of Chris' parents, finished up painting the office and got a good start on the hallway... 2 comments/trackbacks
goodbye, baby girl	Fri 07/20/2007 1:39 PM
The one thing we have to be grateful for, is that we were able to be by her side as she was peacefully put to rest (after all attempts to restore her breathing had failed). My biggest fear was of coming home one day to find she had died all alone, and I am grateful that it didn't happen that way... 3 comments/trackbacks
total recall	Thu 05/17/2007 2:11 PM
Does this indicate Menu Foods and other big suppliers are policing themselves? In this era of Enron, Worldcom, and corporate greed in general, is it a good idea to let the big boys police themselves...? 0 comments/trackbacks
pet poison	Fri 03/23/2007 2:20 PM
Though the claims right now are that only wet food is affected, I am anxious to see what really turns out to be responsible, and whether it is a result of some kind of neglectful practice... 0 comments/trackbacks
human training	Fri 03/09/2007 1:55 PM
The focus of many pet owners seems to be directed towards their animals, which makes a great deal of sense in most cases. However, when trying to correct unwanted behavior in your dog you might want to point that finger inward sometimes and have a little glimpse in the mirror... 0 comments/trackbacks
