That’s me about 100 times a day at the dog park.  Oh, give me strength! For the last week or two we have been trying to socialize our dogs by taking them to a nearby enclosed dog park.  Bailey has become quite anti-social over the years, especially with other male dogs.  He snarls and lunges and gives me a heart …

We have a visitor here for the next few days! Some friends of ours have gone away to Barcelona and asked if their dog Titan could come and have a sleepover with us.

Ever wonder what happens when you get between a dog and a chicken bone? That… that is what happens when you try to wrestle a chicken bone from the mouth of a Yorkie. A few weeks ago I was walking along minding my own business, the dogs were running around sniffing everything and eating poo like every other day when …

For the last while Bailey has been looking more like a walking mop than a dog and we were happy to take him to get a haircut today.  Here’s a before and after: It’s nice to see his cute little eyes again… and I’m sure he was actually prancing proudly on his way home from the groomer. I think he …

You know you are truly your dog’s bitch when you let him ruin your sofa. Recently Bailey has decided that his favorite spot is on the back of one of our sofas.  I think he got it from the cats.  He’s not as light as he thinks though and he creates a massive dip in the cushion he lays on, …

I forgot to post the video I made last week at the beach.  You can see why we rarely let Bailey off his lead.  He’s a yorkie but I think he truly believes he’s a Doberman or a Rottweiler.     We’d love to be able to have him loose to run and play but he just can’t be trusted.   When …

All it I takes is a quick look at my blog timeline to see that other than the odd knitting project, I’ve not really been writing a whole lot. Why? Well, mostly because I’ve been too damn tired. I had very limited mental and physical energy to put towards anything and blogging wasn’t really a priority. In a few of …

I know it’s not totally unlike me to not write regularly, but just in case you were wondering why I went so silent after my last post, it’s because I’ve been away for the last three weeks! I’ve been blissfully knitting, designing, reading and generally being a big ol’ lazy butt while traveling through France and Belgium! You see, it …

Happy New Year, everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday, I know we did! If you have been to my blog at this time on previous years, you have probably heard me moan about the state of affairs in the Netherlands on New Years Eve.  Mainly the situation with the fireworks and my dogs. While the fireworks are great for …

In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits.  My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …

It felt like ages since I’ve seen Bailey’s eyes, or Pixel’s little legs.  A trip to the groomer was definitely in order. I love it so much when they come home all tidied up and I can actually see Bailey looking at me.  See Pixel’s little wiener body and those freaking adorable faces! I love my dogs so much, they …
