My Dogs and Me

Kiera, Graidy, Wink and Me

Stick THAT in Your Happy Box!

Having recently gone through a growth spurt, Cait was in need of some new clothes. So off to the Mall we went.  We always concentrate our efforts in this one particular store, because we always have good luck finding cloths that fit and that Cait will actually wear.

The tradition is to make our way around each department — shoes, pants, tops, etc.– until, at the very end, we come to the fancy dress section.  This is where the fun … Read More

Angels Come in Many Forms

Early this morning, around 2 a.m., I was awoken by incessant barking coming from downstairs. Not an altogether unheard of occurrence at our house, with so many wild animals engendering great interest as they traipse through our ten-acre kingdom.

Boy, was I never so happy to be roused from a sound sleep! I got up to check on where the missing Graidy was. As soon as I hit the upstairs hallway, I was bowled over by propane fumes. I got … Read More

On the Hunt

It’s in the air today, along with the gathering thunderclouds. Everyone around here is hunting for something.

Kiera Update and Diagnosing Your Dog’s Abscessed Tooth

kiera1 I picked up Kiera late yesterday afternoon and she had a tough night.  She’s doing much better this morning.

The vet thinks the growth was a result of an abscessed tooth, which she removed with a section of the gum just to be safe. It looks like we dodged a  bullet! Exhaling now…

While Kiera is resting comfortably at my feet, I thought I’d use this time to talk about what can cause a canine abscessed tooth, what some of … Read More

Paw Talk Interview

I have the honor of guest blogging over at Paw-Talk today. If you’d like to take a peek at a typical day around here, head on over to get the scoop.

Even if you feel you already know quite enough about our gang, if you love animals, you’ll be in for a treat if you visit.

Paw-Talk began in 2001 as a forum devoted to all animals, where you could find lots of great information for just about any pet … Read More

If This Dog…

… could figure out how to crawl inside her skin to be that much closer, I’ve no doubt he would!

This is how the two of them sleep every night. Face to face. Breath to breath. Heartbeat to heartbeat.

It’s a love like no other. And I can’t believe that Cait has finally found it. It’s been a long time coming. So long, in fact, that I wondered if she’d ever get to have the experience.

All it took was … Read More
