Tip Tail

Geez. My back is in horrible pain. Lower back, and upper back by my shoulder blades. I think my mattress is bad for me. I think it’s too firm. I didn’t even do much yesterday, sat around with the family and had Easter celebrations. We are not religious, but we like to celebrate the holidays. [...]

Yeah yeah, can’t get enough of this new camera. This is Tonks… now that is a HIGH box! LOL… a bit too high, I’d say. They moved the prop way out and she did better (yup, Tonks as in Nymphadora from Harry Potter, I love her name!) She won’t need any family insurance with her [...]

Here’s a crowd of dogs at flyball practice… you can see Chase and Tatum in the background in their x-pen. And Muffit in his crate. I had him in the pen but… silly boy jumped out, he was too excited. So he got the crate (did I mention I got that crate for free? Driving [...]

I would love to have my house made over. It’s small, only 1300 square feet, and the kitchen is absolutely horrible. It’s too small, and old. The tile is corroding on the counters, the sink is awful and has no disposal. And the cabinets are too small for even a cereal box. And the rest [...]

Well, I took Muffit, Tatum and Chase to flyball practice again today. Muffit is very over stimulated there. He barks just about constantly. He’s going to take longer, unfortunately, than I had thought for him to adjust to the whole flyball and dog show environment thing. That’s okay. He’s a doll, and he takes as [...]

A friend of mine told me about some dog podcasts to listen too… and finally I downloaded a podcast receiver and checked them out. Currently I’m listening to Canine Campus, and the podcast on Calming Signals.. yes, from Turid Rugaas, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit. She talkes about how dogs may freeze as [...]

Man this getting old stuff sucks. My left ankle is still sprained… yeah yeah I know, stay off it right? Well, that ain’t gonna happen unless all my dogs disappear and I have nothing better do. So it’s braced and I try to take it easy but you know how it goes. I went jogging [...]

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of money entering dog trials… agility and flyball. And next, I’m going to start entering obedience as well, with Levi. Chase isn’t ready yet but Levi is almost ready and this summer he gets to go into the obedience ring. I’m really excited for obedience! It’s fun, and challenging! [...]

Tatum has a problem I really need to work on. Okay okay… it’s really the Mum that has the problem. The problem is, the Mum (me) is a clutz, and sometimes drops the flexi leash when I’m walking the dogs. None of my dogs care.. they drag the bouncing, noisy thing behind them without a [...]

Took the pups for a walk today.. just a short one, and around the block, at lunch, from work… it was so nice outside! Makes me think of making sure we are secure in our lives… and how we may need insurance claim consultants one day to ensure that. I am always worried about the [...]
