My last Lab, Alex, was famous for several eating feats. On one occasion, left alone in the car for the length of time it took me to run into a doughnut shop and purchase a cup of coffee, he wolfed down 13 1/2 of the 15 doughnuts I had just purchased.

On another occasion, in about the same amount of time, he opened a sealed pound of cheese and wolfed down the entire thing. Again, he was alone in the car.

Today Rusty, my new Lab, broke Alex's gluttony record.

Jack and Rusty have come out of the closet

Posted 07-05-2008 at 03:38 AM by alaskayorkie

I always thought it was cute that Jack, my 4-pound Yorkie, and Rusty, my 50-pound Lab, got along. They sleep next to each other. Rusty sticks up for Jack. ...

But this week, I discovered why. They are gay. When I rolled Rusty on his back to put some ear drops in his ears, Jack took advantage and mounted him!

And Rusty didn't protest.

I have no problem with their decision. I was just surprised. I wonder if neutering is considered "safe sex?"

Bragging about Eddie again

Posted 07-01-2008 at 11:59 PM by alaskayorkie

I got an e-mail from a woman who owns the obedience school where Eddie has taken a couple of classes. She's been asked to put on a demonstration for a summer camp of smart kids, and she wants me to join her with Eddie!

This is especially impressive because her dogs are awesome. Perfectly trained in obedience. Agility dogs, too.

But out of all her students, she chose Eddie, who has only taken two classes from her.

I'm excited, but I also turned into pageant...

Not enough time in the day

Posted 06-21-2008 at 01:53 PM by alaskayorkie

I'm tormented by the lack of attention I give my dogs.

Yes, yes, I take them on multiple walks a day and I engage them often when I'm home. But I think of the 10 hours I'm at work each day and the eight hours I sleep each night. That makes for 18 hours a day of a pretty boring life.

I come home on a dinner break and walk them, but it's 20 minutes at best. Our morning and evening walks total less than an hour.

The guilt comes after the walks and after...

My first YT rant

I'm one of those people who goes through life trying to be nice. Life is too short not to be happy, and I consider it my civic duty to try to be cheerful. I don't care to associate with grumps, and I don't want to impose my attitudes on innocent people either.

But sometimes it's awfully hard to be cheerful.

My gripe today is with the Petco groomers. I've gone to them exclusively since we got Eddie 4 years ago. We're talking dozens of grooms at $50 a pop over that time....
