This dog. This wonderful, incredible 20-pound bundle of pure puppy energy. Curious, naive, jumping, running, escaping, freedom-loving, always wanting to please and love.
So open-hearted, so consistent in who she is. I love this dog.
Anyway. I wanted to take her to the park and let her run around, free of the leash and a […]
Lacey and I went over to Bill and Cindie and Hobie’s last night.
The other night when we were over, Lacey discovered several holes in their fence and out she went.
Apparently, Hobie doesn’t see the adventure in going through holes in fences because he doesn’t typically go through. I guess Lacey’s a really bad influence.
Bill […]
Last night, Lacey didn’t get dinner. And that totally sucks for both of us. I feel like a horrible mother, and she becomes beggar extraordinaire.
Here’s how it happened. I grabbed the bag of chicken necks out of the fridge. With her on my heels, wagging her tail uncontrollably, salivating, smiling like crazy, we headed outside […]
Who’s got separation anxiety? ME!!!
I left Lacey at home today when I did my errands and went to work. One of my housemates asked me if I would leave her home, so I did.
O my god — I missed her so much. Having her with me is so comforting. There was a huge empty space […]
Apparently, Lacey thinks she is. I was hoping I would have a nice submissive dog who didn’t ever think she needed to be leader — not even once.
I had a dog that was very small and very alpha, a little West Highland Terrier named Gretchen. Lord have mercy, she was feisty and pushy and demanding […]
Lacey says….
My mom’s been gone for 4 days straight — all day. And I’ve had to deal with the rest of the pack all by myself. I think I’ve done a darn good job. They seem to adore me and let me do whatever I want, until Mom gets home. I’ve subtely taken over the […]
I had an all-day meeting again today. Got home and got the stories.
A few of my housemates worked in the backyard today, and Lacey was right in the middle of it all. They were pruning plants, cleaning out the side of the house, moving potted trees and large plastic storage containers. Lacey was running […]
Today was the first day I’ve been away from Lacey for the whole day. I left early in the morning and didn’t get home until after dark (7:30 or so). There were other people in the house, but she’s used to being with me all the time. I’ve left her for a couple of hours […]
Lacey’s blood work was about normal, except she has a high white cell count. Which, according to Dr. Bob, means she has some kind of infection, which is likely causing the cough.
I got the antibiotics and the herbs — 4 pills twice a day. Do you know how hard it is to give a dog […]
I went to the vet who practices all kinds of different methods of health care for dogs. Acupuncture, homeopathy, manipulation, vet medicine, oriental medicine, and probably lots of other stuff.
He’s not a very social guy, but he knows his stuff really well. He gave her a once-over, took blood to see what’s going on, told […]
