Today the 5 Elder Wieners had their first encounter with Senior Diet dog food. This generic brand of kibble is found at warehouse stores and reflects the realities of recession driven family finances, and an aging household. It’s a far cry and a long way from their gourmet Grass Fed Wilderness Alaskan Caribou/Pacific Cold Water […]
My rabbit Tatoo kept getting out. I kept seeing two long, two short footprints in the snow….like Morris Code for ” Where’s Waldo?…everywhere I knew a rabbit shouldn’t be. Or I’d be outside getting firewood or a Pepsi in a snow bank and register a flash of black and white out of the corner of […]
“Hello! Have you seen Ball?” “Sort of small, orange skin, squeaks?” “Always hiding?” “I love her so much…” “l left her right here last night!” “Yes, right here.” “Up there?” “No?” “Oh, you have Ball!” “Yes yes yes! Waiting!” “Still….waiting…..” “Oh! Ball!!” “Don’t leave me!” “I love you, Ball!” “I can’t believe I gave birth […]
Something Wagging This Way Comes, one of my favorite blogs, set me to thinking when she broached the subject of matching dog breeds to people on her blog the other day. I mean, really, what does owning a Wiener dog say about you? What if you own SIX of the little…you know….effers? I thought, and […]
Can dogs have their own Facebook page? Because mine are asking. Not that they want to know what any of their friends are doing: that’s what wet noses are for. They just notice me paying more attention some mornings to my computer than to them. Weiner curiosity and general alarm over possible competition prods them […]
I read an interesting post this morning from Something Wagging This Way Comes, about all the ways dogs are useful in our lives. And it got me to thinking: in this techy wonderland we’re all living in, with our devices blinking at us through the night, surgically attached to our palms, and now with Google […]
If Mokie were French, she would be Bridget Bardot. Franny is looking curiously over my shoulder as I write this. She lets out a braying laugh ( a very disconcerting noise coming from a Dachshund rather than a donkey ), and says, snidely, ” No, she would be a Poodle.” I detect a black hole […]
Once, long ago, we got to go somewhere. I don’t even remember where, now; what I remember is making a list for our friends who would be dog and house sitting that was longer and more comprehensive than any I would have dreamed of getting up for actual child babysitters. This is the list they […]
We’re always thinking about taking a road trip in the van with the 6 Wieners, but the discussion usually breaks down just casting our eyes around the house, and taking in the six of them and their unfortunate habits. Like pissing on our stuff, running away, finding other dogs offensive, barking at ants, etc. The […]
It is generally considered very important to teach your dog basic commands such “sit”, “stay” and “lie down”. This will ensure that you can keep control […]
