Louie meets Sunny

After being the “only bird” for four years now, I’ve decided to bring home a friend for Louie in the form of Sunny, a lutino hen. So far, it’s still something of a standoff, with both sides sizing each other up. Hopefully they will get along. Sunny is a mere eight weeks old compared to […]

My Watchdog is a Clockdog

Nicki has been our sole watchdog since Taz passed away last February.  And what a watchdog she is!  Everytime someone rings the front doorbell, the Westminster chime rings throughout the house, and she barks, growls and carries on like it was the boogeyman at the front door.  What a good watchdog! Then one day the new […]

Doggie Stinkeye

Maggie got spayed last Monday (responsible dog owner here) and she is recovering very well. Unfortunately, she does not like this space collar that she has to wear for the next few days. If I didn’t know any better, I would say she is brewing up a payback scheme. Chewed up shoes, pee on the […]

Maggie

Maggie is a miniature schnauzer, just over eight weeks old.  She came to us from Florida.  She reminds me of another black dog that I loved and cared for.

I’m Gonna Wash Them Dawgs Right Outta My Hair

Keith’s sister is coming for a short visit, so I gave the dawgs the spa treatment so they can be ready to say hello to their auntie. The hardest part was the wet, lather, rinse, and repeat. I don’t know who got more wet, me or them rowdy dawgs. Afterwards, everyone was tuckered out. …….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………….

Louie Attacks!

I decided to clip Louie’s wings for his own good.  I didn’t want him to fly into windows or into a pot on the stove (ew! bird stew.)  He decided to show his displeasure by attacking my head as I studied for my upcoming test.  Or was he building a nest?  Maybe he was trying […]

Louie

Louie is the resident cock-of-the-walk. I knew him back when he was an egg. He was the last one to hatch, so he was the runt. He was Keith’s favourite, so we decided to keep him. Nowadays, he’s taken to flying around the house and dive-bombing the dogs. Louie and Keith having one of their […]

Nicki and Taz

We found these two littermates at the Reno SPCA.  Nicki’s name was “Puppy B” and Taz’ name was “Puppy C”.  They were six weeks old.  We just had to take them home. They’re going to be 11 years old this coming August.
