I've learned a lot about Boxer dogs in the past few weeks. They have some behaviours that are unique to their breed - and that are pretty funny too. For instance, there's the 'Boxer Bounce' as I like to call it. The way Gracie jumps...it's almost like she's on springs and is bouncing all over the place. She does this when she's playing with us and when she's happy to see someone. She's got this face that I simply cannot resist. She'll look at me with ...
My Wife flew to Dallas to visit her friend and her friends Mother for the weekend. The flight is 'kind of' free (her friend works for American, so American does not get any money, just the feds and the airport which usually amounts to $100-200!) She flies down there 3 or 4 times a year leaving my son and I to have a bachelor weekend, which is fine. But this one was different. First because my son was not down this weekend (it being Mother's day, his mother gets him).&...
Last year, England banned the ancient sport of lords, Fox Hunting. Now it seems the foxes are exacting revenge! In what so far is only an amusing invasion, it appears the crafty fox is invading suburbia. So far - because other than a few flamingos of Her Royal Highness, the Queen, the foxes seem only to be raiding garbage cans, not hen houses (cat houses?). It appears that they have adapted to the encroachment of man, and like the squirrel, can live side by side with ma...
We've had Gracie living with us for 10 days now. It seems like a lot longer; it feels like she's been here forever. She's done remarkably well in the week and a half. She's learned that outside is the appropriate place to go potty, and if she can't make it outside then she should use the housebreaking mats we have. Her aim could be a little better and I wish that she'd stay still when she poops, but...she's got the idea, and I'm cool with that. She's learned to sit on com...
Having a puppy is much like having a toddler in the house. She gets into stuff. Even though she's confined to the same room as I am and isn't ever left alone to roam freely, she still manages to get into things. Like when was getting dressed this morning. I had crated her when i was in the shower. There's no way I can supervise her when I'm all wet and soapy, so for her own good she went in her crate. When I got out, she was howling that distinct...
She's a 9 week old purebred boxer pup. We're making the decision about her name this evening, but right now Grace/Gracie (because she's a wee bit clumsy yet), Maggie (the name of the girl in 'Million Dollar Baby' - the girl boxer, geddit?), or Ginger (because she's a sort of ginger color) are the front runners. Of course, we could come up with something completely different...but we DO know that as of tomorrow morning she will have a name. We have a winner!&n...
Yesterday, we were supposed to have a great snow storm! (well, 3 inches which is rare for us this late in the year). By Mid day, it was down to a flake here or there (and some snow ones as well). We were just getting cold rain. Not a lot, and we need it, but the thirsty earth drank it in. Then what to my wandering eyes should appear? But a tiny sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer! Screech! Sorry, wrong story. We got about an inch of snow. It accumulated on the la...
A couple of months ago, I was thinking of taking in a stray cat. It was the cutest little thing. Black with warm amber eyes. He was on the street mewing pitifully and even snugged up to my legs. Pretty desperate measures for a little feral cat. I had some onigiri (salmon fish egg inside of rice) that I shared with it not having any other food and thinking some food was better than none. I did some research on feral cats on the internet to find out what to expect from taking one in, wh...

i have no idea what to say about this. just look : Link
We have 6 cats! It was not really planned, but it happened. When my wife and I started dating, she had 4 cats and I had a dog. Due to the nature of our romance, I had to get rid of the dog when she started digging under the fence (she was a pound rescue and I found a very good home for her - our neighbors behind us). Then one of her cats, her favorite, died. She was really upset about it. So we went looking for another white cat. (Sparky was white as were 2 of...
The mystery of what the dog rolled in has been solved. He asked to be let out again about half an hour ago and came in stinking again. That prompted Dave and I to go out and see if we could find what he'd been wallowing in. We came in empty handed. Jake was the one who found it. He came in and announced his findings: "it's a mole. A dead one. It's all slimy n' stuff" I went back out to see, and sure enough, there it was. In a pile of dead leaves be...
I walked into the living room this morning and caught Jake and Dave in mid-conversation: "I dunno, but we'll tell Mom and let her figure it ou.....oh, hey babe!" "Let me figure WHAT out?" Jake points towards Henry, who's sitting next to my usual spot on the couch and looking very sheepish. "Sit down, Mom" he said "I dunno that I want to until someone tells me what's going on..." "Stand next to Henry and sniff" So I edged closer to Henry, who's looking more and mo...
Henry got ahold of Polly's catnip-filled spider. I don't know for sure if catnip has the same effect on dogs as it does on cats, but Henry's actions tell me that it does. First he rolled around on the loveseat with it. Then he took it to the floor and 'killed' it. When Shea took it away from him.... ...sat up and begged for it. He's got it now, as I write this. He's laying on his back on the floor with it held between his front paws, chewing it....
It has been a little while since I posted an article about my biggest baby, a ring neck parakeet (large one) that was given to us by my former sister-in-laws now husband. Check through past articles for that one if you wish, as it includes a sample picture showing what she (the parakeet) looks like (actually small parrot sized, or very large parakeet size, part of the parakeet family, but not a small bird). In the middle of the size spectrum in our house we have one of the following littl...
