Congrats!!! Great pic of him - what a beautiful coat your boy has!

This is old, sorry I've been dealing with my dad and away, but yes, we saw with Brodie multiple fear stages. The first was expected as a pup and then another around 18 months and then around 3 we have a biggy and he hasn't really gotten over his reactiveness from that last change. Deacon, we did...

Deacon is not fizzed at all, but then nothing really fizzes him ever... he is just a happy pupper. Brodie on the other hand did not like our storms which proceeded fireworks. When stuff settled down a bit from the storm, I opened the curtains so we could see the rain. Brodie had calmed a bit by...

Brodie stole a 1/4 loaf of sourdough bread last week... I know he got it, Deacon can't reach. Not sure who ate it, they both looked pretty darn guilty when I found the ziploc bag with a hole in it where Deacon normally eats his chewies.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Not sure you ever can prepare.. and telling kids sucks... Our youngest always told me he wanted to be there when our 2nd doxie passed, but it happened rapidly and there was no time to call and wait for him. Not sure he ever forgave me for that because I made...

I bathe in my kitchen sink... it's deep and has a great sprayer. I have a utility tub in our basement, but I blow them dry out on the deck which is just on the other side of the kitchen window. I bought a grooming vacuum this winter cuz it got SO cold and it allowed me to keep up with their...

Kitten! :)

Oh they just LOVE having pics taken of themselves after bath day and hearing how beautiful they look! And the HAIR that came off them! Oh to lose weight cuz I showered and washed my hair! Skinny Minnie! In other news.... since the breeder never contacted us that a puppy was available, we...

Love this..... I am so glad to read this, and to read about you and your one sis... I did my mom's eulogy.... was important to me since so many got to know her after Alzheimer's had started taking her away and never really knew the fun, happy, smiling person she was. (Side note... and not to be...

Gosh, Spitfire cannot age.... just saying... If he does, don't we all? I hope he continues to improve... Diet... makes me shudder too.. poor boy! Broccoli over cookies... blech!

Happy Birthday Sprite!!!! Brodie and Deacon think you have momma trained real well and wonder if you could train their momma? Breakfast here is at 9 am sharp. We get potty treats when we first get up, but no real food... momma needs training!

LOVE reading this... What a special time for both of you!

Oh memories... my oldest sister's husband did a video that played as folks were arriving. Unfortunately, he's really 'into' himself and the video ended up being pictures of him, my oldest sister, their kids and my dad with a few of my mom thrown in. I admit to being totally petty and at a later...

OMG... the obituary... step 1 I think in the grief process and of course at a time when you are numb. Take your time, have LOADS of kleenex near. My oldest sis wasn't a fan of my mom.. baggage... she was there when mom died and wrote the initial obituary... it was so cold and lifeless and...

I am so very sorry for your loss Lisa.... Glad you were there with her and she passed in peace. You were an awesome daughter, caregiver, and friend to your mom. Be kind to yourself. I lost my mom 10 years ago... still hear her voice singing in my head every so often... she's always with me...
