I had an idea for a photo on the way home, based on how much I have to flipping do (which, of course, I'm currently procrastinating on, naturally). Of course, that meant I had to do it RIGHT when I got home.... when Chester was, of course, at his most excited. Not what I needed for the shot. The...

I've been thinking off and on the past couple of months about giving plasma. I don't know about the rest of the country, but around here, you get $200 for giving. I have a few friends who've done it. I could use the extra money while I'm unemployed in school. Here's the catch: to say I'm...

Technically, she's a foster, which was a dangerous thing for me to do since I've had the second-dog itch for a couple of months now. She's about a year old, came in as a stray but with a flea collar. She's super thin right now. She's such a little dainty love bug. If you're sitting down...

Came here on a 2nd date with this guy. He knows the way to a lady's heart.

How often do you guys get your dogs' anal glands expressed? I've never met a dog who needs them done as frequently as Chester - I think I end up having to do it about every 2-3 months - and I know most of my dog owning family/friends never have to get it done. I've never quite gotten the hang of...

I'm going to make this short and I'll include pictures later, but as of yesterday morning I'm fostering a litter of 9 puppies until they're 8 weeks old (hopefully not much longer than that). Right now I have it set up so there's a giant kennel attached to an exercise pen with shower curtains...

Hey everyone! I was on here a while back but stopped coming (I don't remember why, but it was probably something to do with a lack of internet + time), but I'm back! Because it's been several years and lots has happened (and you've probably forgotten me!), here are bullet-points list on...

I had to cancel my internet, because I couldn't afford it anymore. I was able to occasionally hop on the 'net at the Kroger next to work, or mooch Jason's internet, but I don't like leaving the pooches for that long. After that...I somehow managed to get.....12 viruses. No idea how, since I...

aluminum wrapper and all. It's just a plain yellow cupcake, it's the aluminum wrapper I'm worried about. The vet opens in 15 minutes. Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

I got the creative bug tonight and decided to play in photoshop some. It didn't come out anything like I had planned (but they never do), but the black void (which I don't want to take out or fix, because I really like it because I'm weird and don't like rules) to me is just screaming for...

Jason, my fiancee, and I have been together for 3 years. We live in the same apartment complex, a couple buildings apart. He lives with 2 other guys, and I live by myself (plus the pups, of course). He moved in with the guys months after they moved in, to replace the other roommate. He is not...

When Jag and Chester were living with my parents, Jag hurt his back REALLY badly, to the point where he was shaking uncontrollably and they had to give him a cortisone injection at the vet. My parents immediately started them on a Glucosamine supplement. Problem is, my parents aren't worried in...

Don't really have any details, but I was told that Adkins Pet Center in Iron Station, NC is being shut down. I don't know the time limit, but they have to quickly find homes for 28 dogs and 21 cats before they're PTS by Animal Control. Many of the dogs are larger/high energy, and apparently they...

There's a no kill shelter somewhat near my parents' house (where I still spend half my time) that's being shut down (I think it was finances or something). They have to find homes for 28 dogs and 21 cats before animal control puts them to sleep. I have absolutely fallen in love with this...

Yesh? You called? MORE

I had a really bad upset stomach, and so Jason took me to Kroger to get some Sprite and Pepto. I insisted on getting some organic peppermint tea instead, and he gave in. I now have a mug of 100% organic peppermint leaves steeping in some hot water with a little honey, and it smells so...

Sparked by Chester whining at the door to go out and play (if we would let him and his little Pug self could handle the weather, he would absolutely love to be an outdoor dog; he can't get enough of being outside!) and living in an apartment with no yard, I drove the 20 minutes to take my two...

Jag (Papillion mix) and Chester (Pug mix) were SO EXCITED that Jason (fiancee) and I were back from our date, so the camera was necessary this night. Ignore the mess - I'm in the process of doing some...early spring cleaning, lol. I swear Chester has the canine equivalent of...

The other day at work, I stood up from cleaning and a sharp pain went up my spine. After going to the ER (the pain was bad to the point where I was screaming bloody murder and couldn't stand on my own) and getting Valium/Lortab and muscle relaxers, I went to my chiropractor to find out I...

I have a 6 (will be 7 in March) year old Papillion mix. A few months ago, he started shedding his coat in clumps. I started worrying, but my vet said as long as there were no bald spots (which there weren't) he was fine; my dad suggested it was with the stress of moving (he lived with my parents...
