Mickey really is such a scrappy little guy. I’ve been finding that with my new camera I’m taking more pictures of Mickey because it is fast enough to catch him. With my point and shoot a lot of the shots are Sleeping Mickey Shots (like this one and this one) because he doesn’t stay still for very long (damnit).

John, the dogs and I went for a really long walk last Sunday. Before we headed out we stopped at a taco stand so John could fuel up authentic, spicy goodness. Mickey was staring at me because he desperately wanted to weasle under the table beside us and scarf down the smushed piece of lettuce [...]

I took my dogs to the vet a couple days ago and she suggested that Mickey could stand to lose 1 pound (he is just under 20 lbs right now).* Oh dear. I am the one who wrote, Your Dog is a Fatso. How is that for choking down a great big piece of humble pie? [...]

Took this on my walk last weekend. The yellow dangly things remind me of Tibetan prayer flags. I feel like I am grossly neglecting the fido and wino portions of this blog lately and since this blog is called FIDO & WINO that is a bit of a travesty. I am feeling kind of guilty [...]
