An Hour In The Park

After the hussle and bussle of Boxing Day shopping we decided to take Domino to Bellevue Park to let him run around and kill off some energy. Jes took him here yesterday while my house was a zoo and no one was there so we were hoping for the same so that we could [...]

That’s Some Great Butt

On Christmas Eve Day we took Domino to Bellevue Park in a sort of an impromptu outing. The path out to Topsail Island was nicely plowed but a little soft with the warmer temperatures we’ve been getting the past couple of days. As we made it out to the island we ran into [...]

Social Isolation: Day 1

I’m assuming this can be considered the end of day one for the social isolation training exercise for our boy Domino. Has it worked? So far I don’t know. Has it been tough? You’re darn tootin’! That’s right, tootin’! But not farting tooting but more old western cowboy tootin’ [...]

Destructive Domino

In the past week our lovable basset hound has turned into a super menace and has destroyed absolutely everything in his path. I’m not sure if Dom is punishing us for getting him neutered but he sure is being destructive. Below is a list of things in the past week that I can [...]

The Day He Lost His Nuts

Well today is “D” day for Domino or should that be “N” day? Either way Mr. Domino will be a new man after today as he is currently at the vet getting neutered, well I don’t know if he’s being neutered at this exact moment but he’s there for the surgery. Poor pup.
The [...]

A Mini Domino Update

For those curious on all things Domino I “unofficially” weighed the porker today and he’s up to 40 pds. My basic technique is hold the pup, stand on the scale and remember the weight, I then hop on the scale and subtract. The math is hard but I figure it out and we [...]

These Little Teeth of Mine…

Well what an eventful day Thursday was — not only did I find one of Domino’s baby teeth but we got two!
The first tooth I didn’t know was a tooth at the time. I noticed something white inside his water bowl and just assumed it was some paper that he was chewing, what I [...]

Sure Sign Of Winter

Yes it’s snowing and yes it’s cold but does that really signify the change of season? Some may say yes some may think it’ll all disappear next week and summer will be back again (some thing these people are freaking crazy).
But winter is surely here and there’s no clearer sign than frozen drool on [...]

Poor Mr. Spinach

Well to follow up the story I posted last night it’s only fitting that Domino has killed another one of his toys. This time it was one of his favourites in Mr. Spinach (no clue why that’s his name but that’s what we called him).
This was the toy that Dom loved playing fetch with [...]

Mmm Tasty!

Domino’s teeth are certainly working full force now. On my best count he’s gone through 3 football toys, 1 squishy tennis ball (just today — see picture), 1 red/blue ball, countless number of margarine containers and 2 plastic 2L bottles, and cardboard rolls stolen out of the blue/yellow box (of the paper towel and [...]
