File this under the Best.Day.Ever! Sully and I received an Evite to attend a doggie de-stress session for students during finals week at Wheaton College. I take classes there so Sully knows the campus. The college had set up a penned in area (like a dog park) where town residents and professors could bring their dogs so the students could take a break from studying to pat, cuddle and play with the dogs for a couple of hours. There are no dog parks in this town or any other town around that I…

The count down has finally begun! My boyfriend and I have finally picked out a puppy we want and will be picking him up next Wednesday. He is just over 7 weeks old. It will be a two hour drive home from KC to Manhattan, KS. Any tips or advice? Also what are some essentials I will need to get before being the puppy home? 

So I was driving home from the grocery store today. On the way home is a dog park. As I was sitting at the light there is this small brown and white dog walking with a bigger dog towards the fence. I am sitting there thinking bulldog? It was rather portly and at that distance it looked like it had the awkward bulldog walk. The light is long and just as I am…

Please help Tallulah by "liking" her photo.  She has been dieting for three months and has become more healthy, happy, and energetic.  I used to have to carry her up the stairs, but now she can run up them…

So we visited the Wagging Tail Dog Park today!

Zombie's first visit! She's been everywhere else with me, disc golfing, the lake, etc. But I was nervous to take her to the dog park, just because I know quite a few smaller dogs that aren't so…

Just came home from the World Dog Show in Paris. What an amazing experience! The last time I went to a dog show, it was in an exposition hall back in Hawaii, in the 90s. Needless to say, this show was bigger by several orders of magnitude.

 

It was inspiring to see not just beautiful animals, but the people who loved and cherished them so very much. You could just feel the hopeful and happy energy buzzing throughout the place. And what a huge place it was. By the end, my legs…

So I picked up a new book today called "How Dogs Think" by Stanley Coren.





I will admit that I was lured by the fact that it has a corgi on the cover. However, I had somewhat recently finished reading a book called "The Wolf in the…

The new California Governor Jerry Brown brought his sister's Corgi to the Capitol.  He's been dogsitting for his sister, and Sutter, the Corgi was not really the official First Dog... until 02/14/11!  Governor's wife and he decided now that Sutter will officially be the First Dog of California!

This is what I have so far.  I still have to shade and highlight the costumes and dogs.  The fonts are tentative as well, but I think I have the names picked out. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Tell me what you think?

Dog Jokes...and never assume they aren't really laughing at us! Surely, the entertainment factor works both ways...especially with Corgis!

There's a fine line between a willing subject and one that is resigned to the inevitable. Not sure, but with Rosie being a Diva Dog, I'd bet my dog biscuits on the former!

So years ago when I got my first cat my vet recommended Nutro cat food. She told me it was high quality and cheaper than other foods like science diet and such. Seeing as this is what my kitten had been eating already and I liked the sound of a high quality food (I buy only Oxbow products for my bunny because of quality), i thought it was a great investment into my kittens future.



Fast forward a few year



I finally got the dog I had been dreaming of since i graduated from… Continue

Little Dog Blues

To the tune of, and plagiarized from, Jimmy Rogers’ “Texas Blues” (which may be from an earlier Blues song?) Helps if you can yodel, or howl and yodel simultaneously, and get your dog to howl on cue. Only the last 2 lines of the chorus are from the "Texas Blues" melody; make up your own. Note the 3 different choruses. That’s too awkward for sing-alongs, in which case the 2nd shown here is best. Doc Watson also recorded this.…

How exciting...?!



We have to take our other dog, Kujo, to the vet tomorrow for a good claw clipping. She has some disorder that causes the nerves to seperate from the outside cover. So, she has to go in for annual claw clippings. We've decided to take Jack to the vet as well. His first trip! He has to get a puppy check up and a couple of shots. I just know he's going to love it. :/



Does anyone have tips for helping him actually enjoy the visit? We love our vet, he's very… Continue
