The Zoo

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 …

Yesterday when we saw the sunshine yet again, Xander and I grabbed the dogs and headed off to Carnisse Grienden for a walk.

Remember back when Pixel was only a few weeks old and I made some videos of her and Bailey playing? That was two years ago… Pixel really gave it her all but Bailey had the upper hand with a huge size advantage.

Ok first let me get the usual suspects aside.  My husband, my friends, my family… goes without saying. There’s something I have tried to live without that didn’t go very well, I was miserable.

We’ve now had Titan with us for almost three days, and he’s completely won us all over.  With the exception of bit of night time drama the first night in his crate, he’s been an absolute dream to have around.  Now that he’s sleeping peacefully in his crate through the night, I think I can say he’s the perfect dog.  …

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.

A while back I spoke about the mysterious death of two of my turtles. I still have no idea what happened but it was in July of last year, shortly after we came back from our camping trip, and they died within a few days of each other. They were in separate tanks, nothing had been shared between the two.  …

Would you please stop eating with your mouth open, it’s rude! Honestly, you are three years old now, it’s about time you learned some table manners! Don’t give me that look… and for pity sake, wipe your mouth!
