Okay, sorry it took so long...but the pics that were posted in september are now in a video montage form. It was a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoys the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPDKFr6LVRs

Tonight my dad put Sophie to sleep. She had been with our family for 2 months shy of 18 years. I'm not sad as I write this. I do feel empty though. You see, Sophie was a lovely red Pekingnese and she always thought of me as her puppy. Rather than mourn her, I want this post to celebrate...

I wanted to share this pic, it's not my dog-nor any dog in my Xerxes' pedigree. This is "Oberon" possibly the closest pharaoh hound to standard ever to grace the US. I, among many in the breed, get shudders when I see this photo. He is everything in moderation: compact, strong, great...

I was speaking with an acquaintance the other day and he mentioned something to me that I thought was interesting. He believes that dogs, regardless of breed, are all alike and that temperment of a particular breed does not matter at all with regards to how they learn, how they should be...

Ok, so I work most Saturdays. Today was no different. I get up at 6am, take care of the various morning duties and roll out of the house for the morning walk. I'm running early and Xerxes and I are out walking at 630. It's a crisp 55* morning and the leaves are crunchy, the air is filled...

Just wanted to share a small success I had in educating my sister. As most of you know I dog-sat for my sisters chihuahua this past week. When I asked her what Phoebe was eating she said "Oh I've got her on Beneful." I nearly choked. So I told her that Beneful would NOT be on the...

So, this bird walks into a store.............. A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop. The seagull waits until the shopkeeper isn't looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos. Once...

So Saturday I went to work, only to find that we did not have full power. Two of the electrical feeds coming in had blown up somewhere underneath the road. So we sat around in the dark from 8am until almost 2 pm. Yeah it was fun being bored and hot (no air conditioning.) I'm also...

And strangely I don't feel sad, or much of anything at all. My grandmother (my father's mother) died this morning. I got a call last night, late, that said she probably would die. She wasn't elderly...maybe 75. But she had a brain aneurysm about a dozen years ago that left her just a shell...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/09/12/parrot.obit.ap/index.html WALTHAM, Massachusetts (AP) -- Alex, a parrot that could count to six, identify colors and even express frustration with repetitive scientific trials, has died after 30 years of helping researchers better understand the...

Ok, I got this idea from Chewbecca and her bad experience with a French film. Name a few of your favorite foreign or indy movies... I guess put the genre down as well. The purpose? My blockbuster queue is going to drop below 100 this week and I need suggestions! I'll start: Nobody...

Ok Chazzers... I want to put together a video montage of all the chazzer's dogs, set to music, and post it on Youtube. It will be done tastefully... sort of like this one I did a few months ago. I haven't picked out a song yet, but I'll surprise everyone. If you want your dog's name...

Hehehehe...I made it to 500. I'm almost as wordy as my friend Shelly! YAY!

So last night I was walking my boy and we meet another dog. The dog was about 12-14 inches at the shoulder and looked like an Affenpinscher. Same monkey face and same dark color. I'm generally pretty good at breed ID and ask her if he's an Affenpinscher and she says, no he's a Brussels...

I wanted to share this with everyone... I got it in my email from another friend.... WHY DOGS DON'T LIVE LONGER THAN PEOPLE Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year- old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy...

I didn't really know how to title this thread. This morning, Xerxes jumped on the bed and woke me up. I issued the request "off" and made the hand signal for "off" as well. I was lying down though, and I didn't take my body position into account, so from that angle the hand signal said...

I spend lots of time walking my boy. The typical responses from people vary from "oh how do you say it...is it Vishla or Veezlah?" to "Wow, I've never seen a miniature Red Doberman before, he's lovely" to "A FERAL hound? How'd you catch him? He looks fast." I don't expect people to know his...

Because Xerxes is sooooo adorable playing with the fuzzballs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY1UUeQj8d4 Linky1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMsBogGtxBU Zlinky2

Just a cell phone vid from this morning...Xerk and the Tzus from across the way. Click here

It's true. He was absolutely shocked. They were sniffing fine and then the Chi went for his throat. For those of you that don't know, Xerk is a lover of small dogs. His best friends are the 3 shihtzus across the way. He regularly greets all kinds of dogs on lead and for the most part...
