A few weeks ago, blind Cedar began getting out of his crate in Widget's House during the night. I'd walk in first thing in the morning and find him out in the middle of the floor, with a nice pile of poop left for me to clean up. We put all the dogs at Widget's…

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7353207&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1 This weekend on the Internet I stumbled across the ASPCA video on the ranch that they showed at the ASPCA 2009 Humane Awards event Alayne attended back in October. The ASPCA had told us we couldn’t post the video on the Web because of licensing issues of some sort (and we don’t even have…

Whenever there's fresh snow on the ground, blind Dusty loves to stop on his way out the door first thing each morning to lap up several mouthfuls of the crisp, cold white stuff. There's always a full water bucket on the porch of Widget's House, and he will go back and drink from that later,…

It wasn't only Goldie who got to enjoy the new soft squeaky toys that Gayle sent. We handed some out to the usual suspects for their enjoyment, too. In the photo above, Bailey is doing what he always does with a new toy — he rolls and rolls, back and forth, right up against it. …

Blind Goldie got a head start on Christmas when Gayle C. kindly sent the gang here two boxes of soft squeaky toys. As we posted before, Goldie always knows when there are soft squeaky toys in a box, and she never hesitates to go ahead and open the box herself. She does this either by…

Long-time blog readers may remember Bailey's fascination with and love for Mr. Caterpillar, a giant pink-and-red stuffed toy who has survived endless insults and injuries inflicted by the Dachshund contingent over the years. As you can see, Mr. Caterpillar is still very much with us, though a bit worse for the wear and tear. Bailey…

Here's another installment in our "resourceful dogs" series. Alayne had noticed in recent weeks that Daisy had started dragging one of the dog beds all the way across the living room floor and over to another bed she had been lying on, and was using the second bed for a chin rest. No kidding. So…

Although blind Widget is certainly a princess, I'm not sure she would actually feel a pea underneath her in this collection of beds. There's something about a stack of bedding that always attracts the dogs — comfort hounds they are — even if it takes quite a bit of effort for short-legged royalty like Widget…

Alayne got this shot yesterday of me taking out the sutures from Samantha's surgery site. As I mentioned on her homecoming day blog post, the growth our vets removed did turn out to be benign, so we dodged a bullet on that one. We're not always that lucky, so we were very relieved. Although Sam…

When I took the blind Poodle sisters, Molly and Priscilla, to the groomers at PetsMart a couple of weeks ago, the gals there not only gussied up our girls as they usually do, but this time they also tied little blue ribbons onto their ear muffs. Now, we're not really into dogs-as-accessory-items, or dogs wearing…
