implants for everyone

by | Thursday, April 30, 2009 |

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,...

the unshelling of dooley

by | Sunday, April 19, 2009 |

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...

murray gets cracked

by | Thursday, April 9, 2009 |

below is a video of one of murray’s chiropractic appointments with the great dr. triplett in nashville. it’s 7 minutes of a vet appointment so it might not be the most engaging video but i thought it would be interesting for people to see if they didn’t know what chiropractic on dogs looks like. if you can’t hang out for the full 7 minutes i strongly urge you to make it (or fast forward) to 2:39 where murray’s face first appears – i defy you not to smile at...

never ceasing to amaze

by | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 |

there is an adage in our house which very simply states every time we think we’ve seen it all we haven’t. it has always proven true that each dog that comes into this house will at one point or another do something unique that amazes, amuses, and/or disgusts us. you would think at some point this phenomenon would run its course and there would be nothing new but you my friend would be wrong. for some reason i seem to be constantly amazed at the stream of odd behaviors these mutts...

fit for a king but made for a queen

by | Monday, March 9, 2009 |

many years ago when our dog count had reached 5 sleeping soundly became an issue and dave was pretty adamant about finding some way to keep the dogs off the bed. the simplest solution seemed to be raising the bed, and after we did this, i had to admit the unencumbered sleeping was quite a treat. over the years we have designed and built several beds, which always proved to be a bit tricky, after all suspending a large piece of furniture that two people will be sleeping on does present its...

slumdog millionaires

by | Thursday, March 5, 2009 |

okay, so this is yet another post specific to wolfhounds and their quite “special” nature (hereto forward referred to as “pathetic”). in our living space we have not one, not two but five couches (two of them being large sectionals) that are in use pretty much 24-7 and yet when dave & i want to sit down we still have to fight for a few square inches. this is due pretty much wholely to the pathetic wolfhounds. i’ve said before that the wolfhounds will always be...

oh my nose!

by | Thursday, February 12, 2009 |

i’ve mentioned before carly’s current humping phase (see video here) and how unpleasant it is but yesterday she took it to a new level, or maybe the usual level but with pain involved. i was bestowing her with some pets and turned around to continue work when she jumped on my back and started humping me. as i turned to try to extract her from my body she clocked the hell out of my nose. i'm not even sure how, it may have involved flailing paws but couldn't tell you for sure. copious...
