Things my dogs barked at while visiting my in-laws

Posted on by

This past weekend, we went on a road trip to visit my in-laws. As you can see, the dogs were thrilled about the prospect of being in the car for five hours.

Two bored dogs: I Still Want More Puppies

They can barely hide their excitement…

Bella has visited my in-laws (and has stayed with them) many a time. Tavish visited them for the first time this past Christmas, and he did great. They’ve also visited him at our house, and he was a big fan. This time, however, he alternated between cool cucumber and barking fool. Allow me to explain… Continue reading →

Today, I thought I’d take one of my favorite photos of Bella and give it a new look:

Caption these dogs: Guarding the castle

Okay, so I’ve been in kind of a blogging funk lately. My goal is to get back on track ASAP and kick this case of blogger’s block. Until then, please enjoy these sleeping dogs. They’re holding down the blog while I get myself together. At least I’m in good paws. After all, I couldn’t ask for two cuter sentries.

None shall pass…

Glad you’re on guard, because the dragon’s with me!

Always look on the bright side of deaf

Bella's ear - I Still Want More Puppies

Ear’s the thing…

A few months ago, I realized that Bella is losing her hearing. It’s not totally gone yet, but she definitely has trouble hearing. When she does hear a sound, she seems to have trouble figuring out where it’s coming from. (Is your dog experiencing hearing loss too? Check out some of these tips.)

Initially, I was kind of sad about this realization. After all, my baby puppy is not as young as she used to be. However, I’ve come to realize that there are a few benefits to this new state of affairs. (Plus, deaf dogs rock!)

Should you find yourself in a similar situation, try to look on the bright side of life.

You might find that there are some silver linings to that seemingly dark cloud. (After all, we should always rely on Spamalot for important life lessons.) Here are a few good things I’ve discovered about having a dog that’s losing her hearing… Continue reading →

Your Friday cute: Red Panda-monium

Posted on by

I realize it’s been somewhat quiet on the blog lately. Unlike the inspiration for today’s post, I didn’t make a run for it. I’ve just been a bit tired lately (although my yawns are nowhere near as adorable as these), so I gave myself permission to slack a little.

Enough rest, however… it’s time for some panda-monium, of the red variety:

  1. First up your punny pet names: Panda Sykes and Bamboo Rawls.
  2. Three words: baby red pandas.
  3. Listen buddy, be careful who you call cute and cuddly. Watch your back.
  4. Confession: sometimes I like to just reread this post and pretend that the pandas really are happy to see me.
  5. Work out? Eh, I would be much more likely to go to the gym if my fellow patrons looked like this.
  6. Red pandas are so expressive. They were made for posts like this one.
  7. I’m not sure if it keeps the doctor away, but I hope that an apple a day makes the red panda stay.
  8. I think this red panda might be Bella’s cousin. (And this one might be Tavish’s. As well as this one. Geez.)
  9. This next link has me thinking that I need to expand Tavish’s wardrobe. (Kidding. Sort of. I do think he could rock this look. I also think he might want to disown me if I tried it.)
  10. Couldn’t we all use a red panda hug?

Finally, today’s video is a concentrated dose of pure cuteness:

In case you missed it, here’s what we were up to on the blog this week:

Have a great weekend!

Wag Libs: If I [blank], feed [blank]

You may already know that I’m a compulsive lyric changer. I adore song parodies. Changing songs has become my own melodic version of Mad Libs.

(Speaking of, how great are Mad Libs?)

Bella Libs: I Still Want More Puppies

Bella is not a fan.

With that in mind, I thought we’d play a little game of Wag Libs today. Tap your inner lyric changer and play along! Continue reading →
