In the previous post I said that the leg in the photo belonged to Tanner. Well, here's what was going on just before Wilbur stood up and Alayne took the photo. Both boys were enjoying some winter sunshine coming through the storm door. We use towels by the doors instead of door mats because of…

Yep, there he is sporting his new diapers. He couldn't believe we were taking his photo to post on the blog. We told him not to be embarrassed — about 25 million adult Americans have urinary incontinence, and in Japan the sales of adult diapers are set to overtake infant diapers. (No, really.) We don't…

Posting that photo on Monday of Travis jumping the gate reminded me that I had yet to post some photos I took a couple of months ago of Aurora showing us how she deals with the gate. Like Travis, if we don't get to the gate first, no problem … off to the side she…

I took this photo a couple of days ago of Travis jumping the gate at the end of one of the ramps. His normal play yard is behind the house, but after his dental surgery we moved him to the front yard for exercise so we could keep a better eye on him during his…

That's Tanner on a bed in the living room, enjoying one of Holly's favorite toys. (We didn't tell her.) This is what he does when he makes it past the security guard out front — i.e., Darla — and scampers into the house. Tanner's hip is completely healed up and he enjoys racing around the…

Just a few hours after I posted that last blog about Darla keeping Travis and Tanner at bay, Alayne managed to get the photos that had eluded us for the past few weeks. By shooting from inside the house, she captured the moment without interrupting the action. In the shot above, that's Darla in the…

It turns out that not only is Darla a very good watch dog — she is very alert to anything in the woods beyond the front yard, and she'll stand and growl until satisfied the "threat" is gone — but she's decided certain other dogs don't belong in the house and keeps them at bay.…

Alayne took that photo a few days ago of blind Widget in mid-roll on a bed in the living room. Back in October, I had mentioned in a post that our oncologist at Peak Veterinary Referral Center in Burlington, Dr. Kendra Knapik, had said Widget was already "probably in remission" at that point. We've had…

It's funny how a camera angle can make a 7 lb Chihuahua look three times his normal size, isn't it? Wilbur was also on the van to Burlington last week for a check-up with our internal medicine specialist at Peak, Dr. Dani Rondeau. In the photo that's Dani doing a physical on him. Wilbur has…
