Kiera, Graidy, Wink and Me
I’ve often said that if you don’t give an Aussie a job, they will give themselves one. Case in point. Arrow has appointed himself guardian of his dog flock.
And I couldn’t be more thankful. Don’t have to worry about Eagles swooping down or weasels sneaking in. I know with Arrow on duty, I have no worries.… Read More
I have three dogs with completely different internal thermostats. Here is the current temperature breakdown for the pack:
Kenzie is always looking for the blankets to snuggle under or a warm body to press up against. Riley prefers a cooler temp, preferably with a slight breeze. And Arrow is a Husky in an Aussie’s body. He’d live outside if given the chance—the colder the better!
How do they keep themselves happy? It turns out, the sliding glass door is the … Read More
There was a brief window in my adult life — maybe a couple of years — when I lived without dogs. My business had taken off, I was earning a good living, and my house reflected it. I’m talking actual white furniture. A cream-colored area rug that I vacuumed voluntarily. Friends would come over and compliment the place, and I’d do that thing where you wave your hand like it was nothing, when really I’d spent the whole morning … Read More
There is something deeply soulful about three best friends sitting in silence together, just watching the world go by.… Read More
I have never lived with a foo-foo dog before. All of my many dogs over the years have stood on their own four paws, rain or shine.
Then came Kenzie.
Kenzie is my black-tri Cavalier, and she is a total princess. God forbid a single raindrop touches her during a potty break. She’d rather hold it until she explodes.
I tried the “giant umbrella” strategy, hovering over both of us like a personal valet, but she just freezes. She won’t … Read More
In Arrow’s never-ending attempt to get Riley to play with him outside, he carefully brought each stuffed dog toy outside through the dog door and lined them up so Riley could pick his favorite.
That black thing in front? Probably one of our socks. I’m sure when the snow melts, we’ll find all kinds of missing treasure.
Life with dogs…… Read More
Arrow has been dealing with allergies, and getting his meds straightened out has been tricky. Stomach upsets have been a problem. Last night was not a good night for him. At 3 AM he needed to go out. Not my favorite time to be up and outside in the cold. So imagine my delight at being rewarded with getting to see this!
All the while being serenaded by a Great Horned Owl in the background. Mother Nature, she sure is … Read More
