Talk to the animals

by Pets

My dogs don’t tell me how I could have handled a situation better, how I need to lose a few and how that outfit I wore just was “so-90s.” They just want to go to the beach. I like that.

Sleeps with pets

by Pets

There was many a night when a cat would decide the best place to sit was between the book I was reading and my face. Cat rears are cute, but they do not carry intriguing plots.

Why not get them fixed?

by Pets

I am so used to seeing such a wide variety of canines that the only thing that still takes me aback, is a fully intact, mature, muscled un-neutered male dog. I mean I can see the “boys.”

Dog business in the rain

by Pets

Rain….humans find it cleansing. Dogs find it akin to acid. That’s the only reason I can find why normally stalwart, tough dogs melt at the prospect of doing their business when it’s raining.

The training for the Gran Fondo is going well. A friend finished 72 miles today…me? I think I will go for a walk with my dogs.

Road trip update, hot pavement and dog paws..

by Pets

We had to make sure we parked near grass so the dogs could get out to potty without burning the pads of their feet.

Road trip update….

by Pets

You must take it slowly over Mt. St. Helena, which we did, in order to avoid crashes, barfing teens and barfing dogs. All survived.

Road trip with three dogs and two teenagers

by Pets

The only thing I remember from one trip was watching our dog, Yvette, named after a French film star, barfing Spam somewhere in Utah.
