lest you think everything at the earthdog compound is like moonlight and roses i thought i would fill you in on a grievance i have living with these 16 yahoos, although this one is really out of their control (but they’ve got plenty which would be under their control if they had any). when we first looked at this house, which could also be appropriately referred to as our current house but when i wrote that it sounded like there would be more to come and i assure you there will be no...

i know posting has been sporadic at best of late but life has gotten in the way a bit. we've had contractors in our house for the last 6 weeks and contractors and 16 dogs are not a good mix. we're starting to get back to normal so regular posting will resume shortly.

shortly after we began fostering for the nashville humane society murray came into our house as a foster with his brother, van. he was a bottle feeder as someone had dropped he and his siblings off on the back stoop of the humane society one night when they were about 3-4 weeks old. i think i knew right when we picked them up that i was in trouble – i fell in love with murray at first sight. when it was getting close to the time to return them to the humane society for adoption i...

carly has a new habit which is really putting a crimp in reilley’s red ball chasing as well as resulting in repercussions to my tuckus. carly has always played defense when reilley is chasing balls but she has significantly upped the ante recently in which she now nips at him and goes for his ankles. the other day reilley had had enough and turned around to wallop carly at the exact moment i was trying to curtail her and he ended up making contact with my butt. i didn’t really feel...

our workspace is about 50 feet from our house while our office is inside the house, meaning that on any given day dave & i each walk back and forth at least 5-10 times, and never with less than 8 dogs following behind. actually i don’t know why i said following behind – no one follows behind – everyone likes to pretend they know exactly where we’re going and then when they realize they have no idea they stop dead so there’s always a split second where i fall,...

this is a montage of dooley settling in and coming out of his shell. he joined our family about 4 months ago and he’s quite a bit different. he’s seems to actually be enjoying his life and seems pretty unphased by the amount of dogs he’s now sharing his life with. i asked dave the other day if he was glad we got him and his answer was yes – a sure sign that the craziness associated with a new dog must be past! my favorite part of the video is the end when dooley is...
