So my friend that I’ve had since I was 12 came to visit the other day. We grew up together and got in to more trouble than either of us can seem to remember. Well, he was visiting family not far away and he came to stay with us for a day. He brought his [...]

A smallish human visited…

Sorry it’s been a while. We were on vacation for a week, then The Boy went to be with the grandparents for a week, so our routine got a little wonky for a bit. While The Boy was gone, The Smallish Boy whose grandparents live across the street came over to visit us one night. [...]
Update on Jake…

I took Jake in for a check-up today to make sure that he’s healing okay from his pellet gun wound. The hole has gotten larger, but they said that it’s due to dead tissue around the entry wound dying and coming off. It looks like the infection is clearing up and they were able to [...]
Jake got shot…

Not with a handgun, rifle, or shotgun… but by a pellet gun. So I guess it could’ve been worse. Friday I came home for lunch and we noticed Jake was licking his side. The Vampire Wife took a look at him and thought it was a tick. She did the usual squealing and pleading for [...]
Duchess goes to the duck pond…

I don’t really know why, but we’ve never taken Duchess down to the duck pond (which has geese as well as ducks). We’ve walked by it a zillion times on walks, but have never actually taken her there to get up close and personal with those nasty little suckers. They have it fenced off… presumably [...]
We found a dinosaur bone…

If you’re my facebook friend, then you know that we were shocked a while back when we tried to buy some bones for the dogs at the local grocery store and they told us no. Well, we were in another town to run some errands and stopped by their grocery store and guess what… they [...]
I forgot about the jealousy outburst…

I was just looking at photos and realized I left something out of the last post about the Marmaduke movie. Do you remember waaaaaaaay back in one of my first entries how Jake had a jealousy outburst since I was starting the blog for Duchess and he ate a hole in the carpet? Well, since [...]
Duchess is a foreman…

And not like a the kind of Foremans that sell grills and have a zillion kids all named George… I’m referring to the kind that sit around and watch people work and then claim to be oh so tired. The Boy and I got our strawberry bed done today which required mixing about 30 cubic [...]
The Art of Racing in the Rain…

Anyone else heard of this book? I’ve seen it recommended for dog lovers on various boards and discussions, but had never really checked it out. So today I stopped by the library and picked it up and began to thumb through it. It had a picture of a Golden on the cover which immediately drew [...]
So what DO we feed?
Posted in Current, Feeding, tagged Dogs, Golden Retriever, Great Dane on March 9, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I know everyone’s been chomping at the bit – dying to find out exactly what it is that we feed Duchess (it’s all the talk at the coffee shops around here) so I’m finally going to get around to discussing it. When we first got her, we were feeding a grain-free diet called Taste of [...]
