If one was to characterize my house by a smell it would be “Ode to Dog”!  I sometimes feel embarrassed by this, that the first thing that assaults visitors noses is the pervasive smell of pets.  I keep windows open and use a Lamp Berger, but if I am being honest, it then just smellsContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

Today I went for a walk with the “Three Stooges”!  The excursion this morning was a complete comedy of errors from beginning to end.  Curly, Larry and Moe were in fine form from the start and I am not sure I can adequately convey what that forty-five minute trek entailed, but suffice to say, itContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

“You can ring my bell…ring my bell…”  But chances are neither Lucas or I will hear it!  I have been realizing for a little while now that I have rendered myself iPod deaf.  I have a very bad habit of blasting  Linkin Park, the Biebs, Blake Shelton, whatever I am in the mood for whenContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

‘Cat’-astrophe averted!    We just had a long weekend and might I say, the Monday was a bit more eventful than we had planned.  I have a “honey do list”, it’s not extensive but one of the big things I needed my spouse to get at was replacing a post on our front porch thatContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

  “Do you ever feel so paper thin Like a house of cards One blow from caving in…” Yup, I know a few of my canine friends that suffer greatly from this phenomena!  Summer storms and long weekends are the bane of a lot of dogs existence.  It’s cruel really, one night your human opensContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

  “I get by with a little help from my friends…”   Diesel loves to have a prize to show off when he is walking…it can be a ball, a raw hide, an errant mitten dropped from a walker, he’s not that particular.  One time he found a baseball cap and carried it for 45Continue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

We all know about the five second rule, if one drops food or sometimes cutlery, on the ground, it will still be safe to eat or use after five seconds of being dropped.  But there is another five second rule we lovers of canine’s should pay a great deal of attention to and observe!  With the  overtlyContinue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”

    Have you ever heard that expression,  to squirrel something away?  The concept when you want to save something for later.  A good example of this, my dog Lucas if given a raw hide, unlike most dogs, will not chew on it, instead he will hide it under a couch cushion — in other words,Continue reading “Thoughts to Paws over…”
