    Finnegan is seven.

    Seven. Pfft. What. Seven years minus seven weeks ago, this thread happened: http://chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91680 (warning: Nilly and Grammy posts that might make people teary-eyed.) Years later I can say, publicly and truthfully that getting a border collie was... not my...

    Finnegan misses everyone. <3

    I just posted to the Chaz FB page and realized I haven't been here in forever. So. Hi! I purposely stopped visiting Chaz because of time constraints with online time. Just had to start picking my battles. I've been dividing my time between AlliePets and other illustrative projects for work...

    Sewing!

    So, after having inherited my mum's machine when she passed away eight years ago, and trying to use it several times and failing, SO got me sewing lessons for my birthday. I finally took them in October/November and FINALLY, I can sew! Other sewers here? I know JessLough sews. What kind of...

    Finnegan is six.

    I'm not sure where the time went. I was just looking over the thread from when I first brought him home, and I remember being so excited at the open book that was this little border collie. And, well. Things didn't go as I would have wanted with his sport career (or complete lack thereof)...

    Post your pets' Halloween costumes!

    If they're not dressing up this year, show us past ones you like! I love Halloween. Finn's isn't a new costume, but he's tolerating it better than previous years haha. Barrett's isn't new either. But at least the two coordinate. None of the cats, because a) I have no cat sized...

    Finn in fall and ladybug invasion.

    I tend to have a surge in photos of Finn this time of year. His colouring/eyes match the outside! It was pretty wet and gross outside today, but I had the camera outside anyway, so. I believe I can flyyyyy... and avoid having my belly fur trimmed... Incoming. Attack of the...

    Just a few of Finnegan.

    Yeah. Not many photos of Finn lately. We're not on Chaz much, trying to focus on life, work and the fact that dog and cats still are not getting along much. There's progress, just slooooow. Same ol' day in day out around here, and when we do special things, I suck at photos. Haha. We went...

    Show us your non-motorized transportation!

    If you ride a bike or inline skate or skateboard or whatever, show us here! What do you ride? I love to bike, and this is mine. An Opus Mondano, a nice hybrid commuter. It works perfectly for my needs since Ottawa is absolutely inundated with bicycle pathways. I ride almost every day. I have...

    Porom

    I was away for an amazing wedding this past weekend. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for me all weekend though - my six-year old little girl ferret, Porom, plummeted downhill on Thursday afternoon before we left. She was disoriented, cool to the touch, and unable to hold her bowels. A vet...

    CleverPet - thoughts?

    Hopefully the link works, I'm on mobile. http://t.co/B9DYjLzpSj One of Marshall's high school friends is on the team for this, and they just launched the kickstarter. I think it's a cool idea, but I wouldn't turn it on and leave. I'd at least be nearby to supervise. And well, a $250 price...

    I'm illustrating a book!

    Well, more than one, but one to start. :P Posted this in Good News, but heck it warrants its own thread. I'm working with a local author named Sonja and her chihuahua, Monte, to illustrate a series of children's books about travelling the world and being eight inches off the ground...

    Flight Rising?

    Anyone here play it? http://flightrising.com/ A friend alerted me to this earlier this afternoon, right in time to make an account before the registration window closed again. It's like... the old dragon egg game we all played here, with a dash of NeoPets circa 2001, with tons of story/art...

    Ferrets & Finnegan.

    Yesterday was really windy, but also really warm and sunny. The ferrets got to go outside for the first time this year! Porom hated it. She disagrees that spring is here. "Why do you bring me here, to this frigid wasteland." Please, the humanity." Then she started shivering...

    Pro photos of Finnegan and I!

    So, things have been a bit quiet on the AlliePets front... because we're prepping for a few Big Projects. Like, big. So I needed some professional headshots done, and since all the Big Projects are pet-related I figured it couldn't hurt to have some "pro" photos of Finnegan too. :) All of...

    Creating a blended family of excitable dog + cats who hate dog... tips?

    This is lengthly, my apologies. I want to give as much info as I can. Please ask questions if I've left anything out! So, at the end of this month I'm moving in with Marshall. Exciting! Finn and the ferrets are coming with me, and Marshall has two cats: Stan and Fiora (Fi). Finn has...

    The derp is feeling rejected.

    Finnegan says, too many border collie puppies, not enough derp. HAY GUYS I HERD THERE NEEDS DERP I BRING DEH DERP. AND A BIT OF NOM. But mostly derp. A bit of majestic collie, for good measure. And- oh, nope, we're back to derp. Such derp. Very derp. Wow...

    TMJ sufferers - some questions

    So, I have temporomandibular joint dysfunction - in specific, clicking jaw, I clench (but don't grind) and have bad habits like drinking a bit more caffeine than I should and resting my head on my hands a lot. For the past two weeks I have had intense pain in my left jaw joint - to the point...

    Freya

    Wednesday morning, I woke up, put water on for coffee, put Finn out, opened the living room blinds, and went to check on the ferrets. Same routine as every morning. Porom and Barrett were up and waiting to greet me... and on the top level lay a disturbingly still Freya. She looked like she...

    SnowyFinn.

    Haven't posted pics in awhile. Not feeling the photography vibe much lately, and besides, we both hibernate a lot in the winter haha. Here's a few of Finn on my lunch break today in the yard. He loves snowy days, as long as it's not 20 below. A bit of the Finn...
