Sheltered From The Storm

Friday, 9 September, 2011

This post is my entry into the BlogPaws Blog Carnival Contest sponsored by BISSELL Homecare, Inc. It is dedicated to the animals who suffered during Hurricane Irene. May they find their way home. May in Colorado is especially stormy, with raindrops verging on hail, thunder rivaling the “Overture to William Tell,” and winds reminiscent of [...]

Boston Terrier Meets Video Camera

Tuesday, 6 September, 2011

Hillary’s first experience with a video camera was just too cute not to share. Yes, I know there’s a typo. It adds character! (Actually, I deleted the raw files before I could fix it.)   *If you don’t get the Chinese pun, it’s just a reference to the fact that everything is made in China [...]

Separation Anxiety… Mine!

Thursday, 25 August, 2011

There are all sorts of websites and books that help you get your dog over separation anxiety, but where are the websites and books to help me get over my separation anxiety when I leave the dogs? I mean, it’s hard to leave something that cute!  I’m off to BlogPaws today (woo-hoo!). It was a [...]

New Puppy: Week One

Tuesday, 23 August, 2011

Hillary has been in our care for just over two weeks, but she’s only been living with me for about one. I got the call about the parvo puppies on August 6th. Noodles went right into the hospital, where he stayed for five days. Luckily he did survive. Then there was Boo, who spent the [...]

The Democratic Party is Not Just For Donkeys

Thursday, 18 August, 2011

Apparently it’s for Boston Terriers, too. With today’s post I’m proud to introduce you to Boulder’s new most patriotic couple: Bill and Hillary! As you can see, Bill is thrilled with his new little lady. Granted, he still has plenty of other lady “friends” he “visits” with at the dog park, but Hillary doesn’t care. [...]

Parvo Puppies Pupdate #3

Thursday, 11 August, 2011

I’m so happy to be able to sit here and laugh at Noodles, who with his lanky legs cannot seem to figure out how to jump up on the couch. Boo and Noodles are doing much better today – playing like puppies should. They are already starting to catch on to the concept of pottying [...]

Parvo Puppies Pupdate #2

Wednesday, 10 August, 2011

All three of my parvo puppies are out of the hospital! They all seem to be doing pretty well – chasing toys, chewing bones, and causing mayhem – but they’re not completely out of the woods yet. Noodles is extremely thin, almost thin like Bill after he was lost in the woods for three weeks. [...]

Parvo Puppies Pupdate

Monday, 8 August, 2011

Today has been a little up and down regarding the information I’ve received about my parvo pups. The vet called this morning (we’ve communicated with three different ones now) and said that Boo was looking good but he didn’t know if Noodles was going to live. He said that Noodles was looking better but the [...]

Nothing could be so vile…

Saturday, 6 August, 2011

I always like to give people credit when they have a dog issue, and they at least call rescue instead of dumping their “problem” at 7-11 or in the night dropbox at a local shelter, but in this case, I have NOTHING nice to say. Rescue called me this afternoon asking if I would help [...]
