"i can't see you." "what? i can't hear you."

this is what happens when the deaf and blind get together.  we may go to hell for laughing at this but you gotta find the humor in everything, right? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feBNlfB2EOs&hl=en&fs=1&]

happy birthday phineus!

about 5 years ago today this fantastic specimen arrived on this earth to spread his joy and phatitude.  my scientific equation for figuring out birth days is as follows:  date of dog's arrival in colella household - approximate age = exact colella birthday.  this equation works unless the exact colella birthday falls around a holiday and then exact colella birthday moves to holiday...with 16 dogs any help with remembering a day is much needed.  so now you know and you can...

earthdog tennis anyone?

by | Sunday, September 13, 2009 |

years ago dave & i used to play tennis fairly regularly until my bad shoulder became my worse shoulder and we hung up our racquets.  lately, because i’ve gotten my shoulder in better shape, i’ve been thinking of trying to play again.  we decided to buy some balls, dust off the racquets (seriously, dave’s required a hosing) and try hitting a few balls in the driveway just to see how it felt.  because we tend to do things in a “different” (moronic...

speck's been having a problem hitting her mark (the mark being her food bowl) lately.  her rotund body and short legs do not work aerodynamically in her favor and her braking ability is severely limited by her girth.  what she is immensely successful at is making us laugh.  she's our little rodeo clown parodying a cattle dog.   [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjgbTBvVc7Y&hl=en&fs=1&]

so murray's getting up there in years - his hearing is all but gone and he walks like he's been through the desert on a horse with no name but man, oh man he can chew a bone with the best of 'em.  i've said it before but i'll say it again - this dog kills me...i adore him. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQT6P7NG8sI&hl=en&fs=1&] i know right...how cute is he???

i think jon bon jovi said it best when he said "he's a little runaway"

our life seems to move pretty fast and there's usually a lot to be accomplished on any given day. our nights fill up pretty quickly as well, what with dave's band practices, errands, grocery shopping, hanging out with friends & family, and appointments. this week we had a bunch of errands to do and last night was the only night we had available so we planned to go out after we finished work and fed the dogs. easy breezy covergirl, right…um, actually wrong…our little fletcher...

dear gravy?

just when we think we know who dooley is more of him makes itself known. of late he has become enamored of carley and likes to spend his waking hours unrelentingly trying to get her to chase him: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WznFE7UaHk&hl=en&fs=1&] as much as he enjoys this game inside it's not nearly as enjoyable when it extends outside - thats a little more energy than he likes to part with. he's good for one lap around and then it's right to the door: [youtube https://www.youtube...

i am totally enamored of dogs and their amazing spirit and spunk. the way our dogs go through what is the monotony of each day is quite astounding to me. they are living a life essentially straight out of groundhog day and meet each day with the same amount of enthusiasm as the day before. case in point: we feed our dogs twice a day every day, never once do these dogs not eat twice a day, and they eat the same thing at each of those two meals. and yet every time we feed them it’s like...

• we believe in rescue dogs and spay + neuter programs
• we believe in hemp, conservation, and the pursuit of lessening our footprint on the earth
• we believe in the commitment, love and boundless spirit of dogs
