The Queen and her Court

The weather was cold and rainy today, so the crew was pretty laid back and not interested in doing much except standing around…but here’s some of the better shots I got… First, Wuzho our beloved staghound…. The puppy says: Take my picture next! Me! Me! Me! Me! My girl, Tater…no doubt heading off to look for trouble...

5K! Hooray!

5K! Hooray!

One of my New Year Goals for 2010 was to run a 5K. Sure, 3.2 miles doesn’t seem like much, but I have *never* been a runner. I’ve never experienced that “runner’s high” I hear folks talking about. I seem to go straight to “runner’s hangover” After doing some reading, I discovered...

Here’s a first: “Limp Tail”

March 5, 2010
Here’s a first: “Limp Tail”

For about a week and a half I would randomly hear a dog in the house yelp. It never happened in front of me and by the time I’d get downstairs or upstairs, the sound (or my movement) had roused enough dogs that I couldn’t ever tell who it was that originated the yelp....

New Ups and Downs!

March 3, 2010
New Ups and Downs!

My new agility equipment arrived last week, as I finally got around to ordering a teeter base. I still have to acquire a board from Home Depot to finish setting it up and since that requires 1) a trip to a store I don’t normally go to and 2) two colors of paint to...
