Jes and I are a little late in getting in on this but we are both collecting pledges for the local Human Society’s Cause For Paws.Ã? I am collecting for Domino and Jes is collecting for Fozzie.
We’re very short noticing this as it is this Saturday (Sept 16) but Jes picked up two pledge [...]

I Own Basset Hounds

If I’m out walking again and hear one more person say “Look at the cute beagles” I might just snap.
They are distinctly Basset Hounds, especially when both are walking together. This isn’t a one time occurrence either, usually one or two people will make that comment on our regular walks.
I just had to get [...]

So we finally broke down and bought a prong collar for Domino. Jes actually purchased one on the weekend but it was too big so we exchanged it today for one that fit.
Back when we had Domino in obedience training we were taught techniques on how to teach your dog to walk without pulling. [...]

In recent weeks a discussion has arose regarding the creation of an off leash dog park here in Sault Ste. Marie.Ã? A lot of this has stemmed from an artile on Sootoday.com titled “Local Family accumulates $10,000 in unpaid doggie fines“.Ã? Basically in the Soo you can be fined if your dog is [...]

Happy Birthday Domino

Today (June 24) is Domino’s 1st birthday. I really wanted to have a party for him but someone didn’t want to. Bah, maybe we’ll have one at another date. The fence isn’t ready yet anyway and no where near puppy proof yet so the party would have been a tough one to [...]

The Amazing Domino

April 11th, 2006 - 4:11 PM

This is somewhat a house update but more of a dog update at the new house.
We’ve all seen the “magnificent” or the “marvellous” or the “amazing” magicians being tied up in knots/chains etc and performing fantastic escapes from these predicaments. Domino does not fit this category. Since he first came to my old [...]

We finally allowed ourselves to go see Fozzie again on Friday night and he has grown quite a bit since the last time we were there — all of the pups have for that matter. They are now running around, sitting, barking, fighting it’s simply great.
Fozzie found a nice sleeping spot curled up on [...]

Jes just got back from taking Domino to the vet today for his two week checkup on his “suspected” torn ACL. The new doctor said he’s looking pretty good but we need to keep him on exercise restriction for another two weeks then gradually exercise him for two weeks after that. If any [...]

Domino running with my mitt he stole as I was taking the camera out of my new funky backpack camera case.

This is the start of our trek. The majority of the following pics are self explanatory so I’ll lay off the commenting (hopefully). They are in sequential order as well — and sorry [...]

Weekend of Happy

March 18th, 2006 - 8:18 PM

For those in the know I’ve been pretty depressed/frustrated the past couple of weeks with the job/house etc and have been in an assy sort of mood I guess. This weekend has definitely been better though — we’ve made progress on the house (dining room complete, ceilings close to done, walls starting tomorrow) and [...]
