Warning: Super pathethic-looking couch hound
So Junior's first heartworm treatment was today. Here's the results. Despite looking so miserable, he really wants to be outside with the others. I have to be mean and make him stay inside. lol [URL=http://s257.photobucket.com/user/MarlaniaLarousse/media/Junior7172013HWtreatment1.jpg.html...

Thursday chatting
I slept forever yesterday and last night. I haven't done that in a long long time. Like 12+ hrs! Guess my body needed it. The poor dogs were not liking it much. When is the weekend going to get here?

Junior's HW treatment
Junior starts his heartworm treatment tomorrow. I have to drop him off in the morning and pick him up later that day. I've put several dogs through treatment before with no problems, so I'm hoping for the same with him. For those who don't know, all of my dogs are rescues, and I live in south...

Seresto collar review
The girls and the cat have had their Seresto collars on for a month now. It's supposed to be good for fleas and ticks. Here n VA, we have a huge tick problem. Previously I've been a happy Frontline user. I would find ticks, on average three to seven per week per dog, attached, usually dead...

"the cone of shame"
Sadie came home from her spay and has all kinds of energy!! I think the cone is doing her more harm than good. She just can't get comfy. Would you take it off and see how she does without it, or will she almost definitely lick her stitches? We've been home almost an hour and the poor thing hasn't...

Miserably hot and humid here like most of the US, I imagine. I was supposed to go up to one of our big bridges today to check things out, which would have been fun, but....other priorities are getting in the way. And, I don't really want to drive 2 hrs to get there then sit through a meeting first...

The Bones Show!
I thought it would be fun to share stories of what happens when you give your dog(s) a bone. Do they eat it? Gnaw on it? Bury it? If it is buried do they return to it, ever? t out 4, one per dog -- 2 weeks back the package had 5, so I put all 5 out. Lacey is not interested in bones until they are at...

How do you spend the day before your 7th birthday?...
Getting two perfect scores in your first UKC Rally trials! Good enough for 2nd place in the first trial (our friend placed 1st and went HIT), and 1st and HIT in the second. Pictures as soon as they get on the computer.

Dogs die in hot cars-JackieG
Yes, it seems obvious. But every year many dogs die or suffer the effects of heatstroke because their owner left them in a car "just for a few minutes". I love to take my dogs with me and do so often but I never leave them in the car for even a few minutes. I can leave my car running with...

Is this a clever way to fill a unique niche or what?! (tacran)
Portland takes its food carts VERY seriously. They are all over the city, and you can get any kind of food you can imagine -- all ethnic types, from "junk food" to gourmet to vegan -- you name it. There are carts serving food that rival fine restaurants. They've even had competition events...

Sunny Thurs
I hope it is sunny for the rest of you. Especially Karen who seems to be water logged and sun deprived!

I have a 2 hr drive...
