So, I play warcraft, right? And someone created a thread on our guild forums to show off pictures of our wee ones — both 2 and 4 legged. They refer to their 2-legged creature as the Whelpling (a toddler who likes to run around Borean Tundra and farm gold for mummy — good boy! Also [...]

No Actual Fathers Were Mentioned In This Father’s Day Post
June 20th, 2010

Okay, okay, I know this doesn’t count. But Nick has been a supremely awesome co-dog-parent with me for the last two years, and he deserves some props for that. There is no Puppy-Parent-Day, and so I’m co-opting Father’s Day a little. As you can see, she clearly worships him. And he’s pretty fond of her [...]
Giant Puppy is Giant

donnamatrix says: Jasper is heavier than Carol Ann. Vince says: what’re you feeding that dog, children? donnamatrix says: smaller puppies. as he absorbs them, he gains their powers. Jasper is now 7 months old, and 70lbs. He’s also starting to learn manners, but usually gives up and starts nomming on your ear, or hair, or [...]
Sometimes I just want to put on my bunny suit and scream
May 20th, 2010

I get the feeling that the above subject is how Justice feels a good deal of the time. So, we all know this, I have a dog with a crazy amount of anxiety. This expresses itself in leash reactivity, mostly toward dogs, and taking “normal moments that are a bit anxiety-ridden” and turning them into [...]
Last minute reminder, then sleep!

Too exhausted to talk about Jeremy & Jeanette’s wedding, except to say: Fucking epic. Loved it. Wish I hadn’t had to leave so early, but responsibility calls. Speaking of said responsibility: Come visit me at the HugABull Fundraising Flea Market tomorrow! 15% of my proceeds go directly to helping these dogs (and more!) It’s a [...]
Buy some soap and support a Pit Bull!

I love pit bulls. I think they’re adorable. Actually, that’s not entirely true, I actually think they’re so ugly that they’ve transcended uggo and moved right back into “holy crap, you’re cute!” And really, no dog can smile half as well as a happy pittie. It’s one of the few breeds I would never own. [...]
Rally! O?
April 16th, 2010

Last week, Justice & I completed our reactive dog class… and last night, we started Rally O. For the “what the fuck are you talking about” crowd, Rally O is short for Rally Obedience. It’s sort of a more “casual” obedience than traditional obedience, where a judge barks commands at you, and you’re barely allowed [...]
Keeping an ear on you

If you grab Justice’s “up” ear and smoosh it down to match her other one, she looks like a totally different dog. This amuses me greatly, and annoys her when I play with her ears. She’s such a pretty girl. Yesterday, she didn’t even bark at the guy who usually sets her off into a [...]
Our handsome lad is growing up.

He’s lost his puppy pajamas, his snout is starting to resemble a respectable snout, and somewhere along the lines he grew legs… …but he still runs like he hasn’t any bones, so he hasn’t fully lost his puppyhood yet. Compare February, January, earlier in January, and December. What a cutie. He’s a bit bigger than [...]
