Catnip for Dogs?

Ryan and I have talked about this subject off and on throughout the past few weeks. Seeing as how I own three cats, catnip is always an item we have in the house. After seeing my cats get "high," Ryan wondered if there was an herb that does the same thing for dogs. I told him that there probably was. After all cinnamon is catnip for tigers.

Our curiosity is constantly piqued by this thought. It's such a strange question that I want to ask it here. Have any of you ever wondered about… Continue

The big move

So two weeks ago daddy started acting funny in our little apartment. One afternoon he brought in a bunch of boxes that smelled like eats and other interesting things! I thought they were toys and jumped through them sniffing and playing making daddy laugh.

Then for some strange reason he started putting things in these boxes. Mommy only did this when she came to visit and when she was done she would leave us for long periods of time! I was getting worried and over the next few days… Continue

Um.. Terrible 15's? (or is it 16 weeks?)

I have been very sick, I do not get sick often, but apparently when I do, I do it big. As a result I mainly stumble home after a workday and roll up into a ball to die. Naturally, Cheez-it found this the perfect opportunity to switch personalities (er. dogalities?). The day before I fell ill with the common cold it rained, pretty bad actually. We went out to potty as usual and he enthusiastically jumped from the sidewalk to his normal stomping(pooping) grounds. On realization that it was wet he… Continue

The Weekend Wrap-Up

Early Saturday morning Roscoe and I headed to Arbor Hills Nature Reserve for a walk. The nature reserve has several walking tracks, and creeks and such; the area makes for a great walk/bike, and you can bring your dog as well. Morning is pretty much the only tolerable time to get most outdoor activity done, the heat is making it more uncomfortable as summer goes along. The place had a good amount of people, but it wasn't terrible crowded. Roscoe did well on the walk, and he spent some time in a… Continue

The kennel attacked my dog! (Everyone at least read the first para.)

I ramble on, so I will keep this paragraph short. A good amount of you all have a kennel like THIS, and most all of you have a corgi with feet like THIS. Well if your kennel is like that and the divider wall (if one) is up, there may be a gap under the wall. We all know that Corgi's sometimes sleep/lay with their feet behind like in… Continue

Forgotten photo...

I was cleaning out my computer files when I found this old picture of Bryson.

It's like finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket! I had totally forgotten about it... and am happy to rediscover it. I had to search my brain a little bit for the day this photo was taken. Read more about it… Continue

My other dog, Toby :o(

I posted last month when the cat that I had left behind when I moved was euthanized.

I had also left behind a dog, Toby, 14 years old. He was a Sheltie/Collie mix. Such a sweetheart!

My parents went to Belize for my aunt's wedding, and while they were gone Toby was apparently not eating at all. He usually didn't eat as much when my parents were gone, but this time he hardly ate anything for the week. When my parents got back home he still wasn't eating, and then he lost the use of his… Continue

thoughts.

Been reading a little about training my dog... maybe a lot. Read pretty much all of "Dog Training for Dummies" except where it got into training for shows. No where near ready for that at this point. Archie is the smartest dog ever and I really do blame myself for his current behavior. I had a hard time where I was at in my life and I did neglect him quite a bit. I think this led to his current state of aggression. He's fine with people he's met before but on walks, it's horrid. He tries to… Continue

Best Anniversary Present

Today is Paul's and my two year anniversary and Miles decided to give me the best present.

During the day before he had been eyeing his bed as if he actually wanted to use it. He'd go over and take a toy next to it or lay riiiiight down next to it but never in it.

But last night at about 1 am Paul and I were up playing Mario Party 8 and I had noticed Miles was laying on the rug with his head on Paul's shoe. I remarked to Paul that it was Probably him telling us that he needed to go… Continue

furminator!

We just got our furminator in the mail today! I'm so excited, I'm going to furminate the hell out of Miles tomorrow =). He and his daddy just moved into a cute little apartment in Los Angeles on Venice and the entire thing is hardwood. It makes it so much easier to clean but Miles hates sliding around. We got a bunch of rugs and even an adorable little doggie bed for him but he refuses to use it =(. I'm not sure why but I swear one day he'll learn to love it.
