in our house we seem to have a little bit of everything…love, like, acquaintances all with a little splash of adversarialism...

speck was the unfortunate recipient of a very undesirable body type. she’s built like a very, very sturdy tube sitting atop 6” (at best) legs. a few months ago during our daily walk we decided to try to walk her on a leash, thus forcing her to do the whole walk to hopefully generate some weight loss and at least add some definition to the tube. our morning walk is 1 mile and i take reilley on a leash (the walk is for him and the health of his hips) and everyone else runs amok. there is an odd...

one thing i’ve learned from living with a pack of dogs for the last 18 years is that each and every dog is special in their own way and you establish different levels of connection with each one. i’ve been lucky enough to have deeper than usual connections with several of our dogs. that is not to say i’ve loved them more than others or they were more important to me but for whatever reason our souls seemed to speak to each other (i’m looking at you kody, murray, reilley and owney). last year a...

zig’s been with us about a month now and i can’t believe how much i adore the little monkey. he is quickly becoming universally adored by everyone in the family, barring a few hanger-oners to aloofness. he even turned benny, who seemingly thought he should remain the baby of the family and no one should come in after him but he’s begrudgingly accepted zig. he’s still doing horribly with housetraining (he’ll get there) and is very timid with new people and things but he’s coming along by leaps...

speck does not get a moment's rest from benny, which i believe we can accurately refer to as karma!

while 93.75% of our family adored benny from the get go there was one that was not only not impressed but downright scared of him. as fearless as speck seems she is actually terrified of new people and new dogs, the only exception being carly who she adored right from the start (go figure). speck spent benny’s first few days running away from him and hiding under things. because murphy’s law is what it is benny was drawn to speck right from the start and followed after her...

dave started feeding the koi again the other day (they don’t eat in cold weather) and it seems speck found herself another food source. it should be noted that speck is of sizable girth and is no need of further food, especially that which is stolen from the mouths of fish. the beginning part of the video was shot by dave from inside the house and right after he finished shooting speck apparently took a header into the pond. we deduced this from two things: a...
