My mom’s the greatest! Yesterday for dinner I got my usual bowl of mush with some weird tasting orange stuff. THEN, she took me outside and (after the ritual acrobatics that I’m so bored with — come on, can’t you do better than “sit”. I’m so tired of that one) gave me this bone with […]
Lacey and I babysat 2 bullmastiff puppies today. It was quite a day, to say the least. The puppies are 4 months old (Lacey is about 9 months old) and they already weigh almost twice what Lace weighs.
When we went in the house, the puppies were in the kitchen behind a puppy gate. So the […]
Lacey has her favorite places to dig in our back yard. Some of them are ok for her to dig, some of them are definitely not ok. It’s time to do something about it.
Tomorrow morning, we’re having a house projects day. One of our projects involves helping Lacey not want to dig in the rose […]
ok, I have to be my mom for a minute. As much as I always hated when she would talk about me to her friends, telling them how great I am, all my (supposed) accomplishments, etc., I’m gonna be just like her now.
This is the greatest dog. She makes me laugh all the time. The […]
I took Lacey on our morning walk at 6am. The routine these days is to walk for a while, do a little training, then finish the walk. Inside the house, we have breakfast. She then goes in her crate while I go to the gym.
She’s getting the training, even with just a few minutes a […]
What?! If the dog is housetrained, what’s the problem? Why does she still occasionally pee inside??? Oh, and she doesn’t just pee inside, she pees on particular rugs in a particular person’s bathroom. I’m stumped. The rugs go in the washer, hung out to dry, on the floor, get peed on, go in the washer, […]
Hardly. Advantage doesn’t work on ticks. Advantage works on fleas, and boy does it kill fleas. Yesterday was our second Advantage treatment. I put Lacey in her crate to sleep because last time I treated her, the place she slept had tons of dead and barely alive fleas when she got up.
This morning I immediately […]
Here’s an update on the raw chicken we have every day. I’ve written about giving raw chicken to Lacey a couple of times — BARF and raw chicken and raw food and raw chicken.
Lacey gets either 2-3 raw chicken necks or 1-2 raw chicken backs every day as a meal. I order them from Jimbos […]
Little did I know that the greatest dog toy ever would be in the form of chunks of frozen water. After all the money I’ve spent on rope toys, Nylabones, Kongs, plush and squeeky balls, multi-armed colorful octopus-looking things, tennis ball toys, pieces of carpet, bannisters (just kidding, no really, she only chewed the bannister […]
Fleas, fleas, fleas — do they ever go away or even just get managed?? Here’s the beginning of the story — yikes! my girl has fleas!, flea control the gentle way, and Advantage, the wonder flea product.
Before I left on my trip, I sprinkled Borax on the carpet in some of the Lacey-frequented rooms (Linda […]
