On one of these snack discussions (that I can't find now) recently, someone recommended the Check-up treats/chew things from Costco. We got some on our next trip and for a time, as directed on the package, we were giving Tasha 1/2 of one every day.

Now we've discovered she is hiding them all over the house, in the sofa, a chair, behind things, etc. Has anyone else had this happen. We hope to keep her teeth healthy and at first she was eating them. Now she seems to know where…

My baby, Romeo is 1 year old today!

Happy Birthday!

My dh, aka G, loves playing with the laser pointer with Tasha. He has been seeing "remote control things" on tv lately. He wanted me to ask if there is some sturdy activity toy out there that he could get Tasha for Christmas. The weather is awful here, plus being very cold, so walks (or runs) are few and far between. Tasha sleeps a lot and seems bored except for Tuesdays when she goes to Doggy Camp and plays with her friends.

Short of getting another puppy, we are trying to be…

What my husband is getting for Christmas from Jon and Dewi...

The following scenes were reinacted:

Jon to Dewi: "I double-dog dare you."

Dewi to Me:…

I've been employed now for a month and Murphy has been doing wonderful by himself for the three hours that I'm gone. I'm glad that I only work as little as I do. Its been really great making a little money and still have the time to run errands, do things around the house, have dinner ready or at least started by the time Chris gets home and of course play with Murphy and take him for a walk. Its been so convenient and Chris likes it too even though I'm not making much, every little bit…

Something exciting is happening. Even though Mum had a cold; she and Daddy were hustling and bustling – going out the back door, then coming in. Sometimes they asked me to go into my crate (and gave me delicious bits of treat for the effort); sometimes not. When I could, I waited by the back door and they always called me good puppy when they came back in again to find me lying quietly on the kitchen rug.

Friday, Mum climbed up high, hanging pine boughs from the tops of the…

At 12 weeks we thought it was time for Ellie to wear her name tag on her collar. I had written her name and contact details on her collar with permanent marker up until now.

Ellie is having a bit of a sulk and trying to manipulate us in to taking the tag off.. Quite cute to see her trying to wrap us around her little white…

Sidney had FHO surgery for hip dysplasia three months ago. The vet said he'd be good to play at the dog park after three months, so today we met up with some corgi friends at San Elijo Hills dog park. I'd taken him to the dog park before today, but kept him from full-out running and playing.

Sidney is the corgi with the tail, and his surgery was on his left hind leg. The fur has grown back pretty well and he's not limping anymore. Could you even tell he'd had…
