Ruby and her Gotcha Day Toy! (tacran)
Well, it was a bit hard to get decent photos since she wouldn't stay still very long once we gave it to her, but here are a couple. In the second one, her eyes look like she's a zombie. I'm sure it was photographer error -- I was using DH's phone to take the pics and have no idea how...

Why is my dog overly drooling over a puppy?
So, we just got a puppy, and 3 out the four could care less about the new addition to the family, but PRINCESS, is sooooo clingy to the puppy, and also, she is not spayed or anything, so she is getting overly-mommy instincts I think, but she is drooling.. a LOT! And she is not a dog that drools, barely...

Tuesday Chat
Nothing much new here. The weather is supposed to be nice today and maybe some rain tomorrow. The city's annual Fiesta celebration is going on and the mere mention of rain on the parades freaks out the organizers. Last night was the River parade and this Friday is the Battle of Flowers parade. Big...

How do you give a dog a bath that is deathly afraid of water?
I had tried giving my dog a thorough bath, but the second the water hit her, (and it wasn't like a heavy spray or anything), she started shaking very badly, whining, crying, and tried to just run away or lay down and shake. It was very scary to see, and I was wondering if there was a way to give...

Most of you know I don't use Facebook. Various reasons -- some silly, some more profound. :-) An old friend of mine is on it constantly. She begged me to join so we can keep in touch (we've lived on opposite sides of the country for 20+ years), but I've told her I prefer to maintain contact...

Ruby's nose knows! (tacran)
We sometimes say that Ruby must have some kind of scent hound in her DNA. I know all dogs sniff things, but she REALLY sniffs things. When we're out in the yard, she will immediately start pacing and sniffing, following where squirrels and moles have been (we periodially see those mounds that are...
