Cheaper dog food a problem for Mosinha. Tummy aches.

This morning Mosinha ran outside and into the bamboo, not circling looking for cats for the first time in a month. She had loose bowels and didn't look happy. She walked over to eat grass, which she learned from my doggies as she was raised when young in a cement covered back garden. She ate up the... Sign in to see full entry.

Tricky dogs foiled again.....

I went to the grocery store to finally buy the dog food. Pedigree, with their new ad campaign, has really increased their food prices and so, this month I couldn't buy my girls their food until next week. I bought a cheaper brand and just hope that their bowels can take it. I brought the food into... Sign in to see full entry.

Microwaved potatoes for breakfast.

I was making some tea when Baby walked over to the 20 pound bag of potatoes and nosed it off the lower shelf. I picked it up and put it back. She pushed it again and barked at me. I had made some boiled potatoes for the three dogs last month when low on dog food. She remembered the bag as the source... Sign in to see full entry.

Autumn was shaking her head and holding her ear at a funny angle.

I looked in there with a flashlight and saw nothing. I got q-tips and peroxide and cleaned them and found nothing much, pretty clean. Poured peroxide in that ear to her surprise.... Then, chased her down and poured baby oil in it.....something will work on it. She has stopped shaking her head and... Sign in to see full entry.

Gnawing, gnawing everywhere and peace covers the land......

Albertson's SuperMarket has the best bones' prices in the city. I stopped there today to buy dog bones, because I needed a break. I came in the front door and dogs stuck noses into the plastic bags, knowing that they had driven me to buy bones to quiet them down....monkeys. I put their bag on the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a Dogs' world

I feel like the drunken Carol Burnette in Annie, when she turns around in the orphange and talks about 'little girls' being everywhere around her. I have dogs all around me this week. Family members have adopted, pet sat, or found little dogs and have brought them during the holidays to Ba's house.... Sign in to see full entry.

Baby and Mosinha and Autumn have grown friskier in the rainy days this week

Finally, their fur in Arizona, is an asset and not a liability. Well, let me take that back. Their fur is now wet and muddy brown, no matter what color God made it. When they come inside and smile at me, water drips all over the floor forming pools of rain water around their paws. And where, I ask,... Sign in to see full entry.

I have not killed the puppy yet and try not to beat her into submission BUT

Autumn, noting my anger and frustration, now yelps as though an elephant has stepped on her foot, when I grab her collar to drag her outside. I have a table covering the doggie door as Baby destroyed the original door for the opening. When I pull back the table, I want Baby and Autumn to go outside... Sign in to see full entry.

Where Do THEY live??!?!?!?

I stopped at a red light and little 18 month old Fardoza looked over at our McDonald's on Tanque Verde Road. A 15 foot tall Cement and life like T-Rex stands, a tree partially hiding him. His mouth is open and he is not looking at her. She points and leans into the car, toward her mother, though her... Sign in to see full entry.

I beg everyone I meet, every inventor, to make a dog wash doggie door.

Or, at least a dog brush and vac doggie door. I would spend $200 to buy one if someone came up with one. I want my dogs to be brushed and vaccuumed as they go into my house, each time that they go into the house. It will be invented someday, would someone just make that day come a little earlier,...
