Last night we took Graham to the emergency clinic for a suspected urinary tract infection. She'd been having accidents in the house for about a week but last night was the first time we saw blood in the urine. So we decided to take her in to get her started on antibiotics last night instead … Continue reading A Visit to the Emergency Vet and Why Billy is “Family Circus” Funny

In Which Surrey Gets Pwned
On Sunday morning, Surrey executed the dash-through-the-legs-to-bolt-out-the-door maneuver for the first (and hopefully last) time. What fun we had chasing her around the neighbors' yards while she would come within 20 feet, then seemingly give a look that said "Nah!" and take off for more quality time with her nose. I was in my pink … Continue reading In Which Surrey Gets Pwned
The Beagle Has Landed
A Tipton Co, TN pound threatened to put pregnant Surrey in a dumpster in October. Thanks to caring shelter volunteers, rescuers, fosters and transporters, her pups got to be born and are attending an adoption event today with Meows and BowWows. And Surrey got to come home.

Humility by Pet
Sooooooo, the other night I was awakened by a foul odor. I thought one of the dogs must have thrown up. I went searching with my roll of paper towels and cleaner in hand but found nothing. Still the odor. I opened Mulder's crate (she's sleeping in a crate by my side of the bed … Continue reading Humility by Pet
Randi’s Surgical Cancer Treatment
Randi had been lame for a few weeks before we finally were able to determine the cause: A tumor pushing out her toenail on a rear foot. An x-ray showed that the tumor had already eaten away some of the bone. Toe amputation was recommended. The photo is what Randi's foot looked like a couple … Continue reading Randi’s Surgical Cancer Treatment

Emily's Gotcha Day is in August (unknown age but definitely in the double digits). In September, Graham turned 11 and Randi turned 8. Happy Birthday to all of … Continue reading Our Old Dogs Get Older
