And now you’re even older.
And now you’re even older.
And now you’re even older.
You’re older than you’ve ever been, and now you’re even older. And now you’re older still.
He still looks like he’s got pudding for bones, but my he’s getting big. Too heavy to easily pick up now, and that snout is starting [...]
So I have this dog, and I feed my dog, and therefore the dog must poop. Everybody Poops, right?
We do our daily toddles out to the empty ex-garden across the road, although it’s started so full of trash that I may go back to the old “making burn spots in the grass in front [...]
If you only watch one 90 second video this year, let it be this one:
Battle on, Jasper. Battle on, Justice.
I have to do a quick shoutout (look at me, using the kids lingo) to my extraordinary boyfriend.
In the last few days, Nick has:
- been bitten on the lip
- been peed on by a puppy
- been woken up in the middle of the night by pathetic cries (er, Jasper, not me)
- had his bed peed [...]
So far today, we are indoor-pee free! Aside from a drop or two when opening the crate anyway, and I’ll let that go.
I may have discovered the secret: Carrying him outside for his first walk. It’s bloody tricky getting the collar on him one handed, especially since other hand is full of wriggly excited [...]
So, I anticipated most of the annoyances that have come to pass. Puppy pee, whining, sharp puppy teeth, night time crying, no ability to do anything for more than half an hour at a time, early mornings, and so on. And even anticipated a few that haven’t come to pass — dog spats, attempting to [...]
Well, not my puppy obviously, but since my parents are off to Hawaii… I have a puppy!
Jasper’s staying with me until next Sunday, so I have a week of whining, pooping, peeing, nibbling, jumping, biting, and barking. Luckily it’s packaged up into an extremely adorable little ball of fluff, so despite being a bit cranky [...]
Me: I wish more dog parks around here were fenced.
Nick: Why?
Me: Well, Justice has good recall, and an even better remote sit, but I’m always a little worried that she’ll spot a squirrel and bolt.
Nick: Just like Jesus!
Me: …Jesus never bolted after a squirrel.
Nick: Seems like the same thing to me.
Me: You’re an idiot.
Anyway. [...]
Meet… well, Puppy. He doesn’t quite have a name yet. And no, he’s not mine, he belongs to Carol Ann. Yes, Carol Ann got a new puppy for Christmas. Despite all the “you shouldn’t get a puppy for Christmas” stuff, this actually makes a lot of sense — my parents have a month off work [...]
I hate dogs in sweaters.
Y’know, I don’t mind small dogs. I grew up with miniature dachshunds, and they were awesome. I’m not a huge fan of high pitched yappy things, but hey, dogs are dogs. I like dogs.
I don’t like dogs in clothes.
Seriously, it’s a DOG. Stop making it look like a [...]
