My family is visiting us to help with the painting right now. And this dog? This dog right here is an absolute hit with them. She may be rather crap on leash. She may slobber all over your face every damn time you bend down to tie your shoe. She may kind of smell regardless of [...]

Mickey models while Kayloo helps John in the background. John is setting his watch before doing sit ups, push ups etc in the hallway and Kayloo figures she’s hit the jackpot because John is RIGHT THERE within licking distance for whole minutes at a time. Mickey thinks exercise is overrated.

Goofy Kayloo helping me pack for our trip. We call that little dog between Kayloo’s paws her “boyfriend.” When you push his foot he sings a little ditty, “I gotta whole lotta love… for you!

Yeah, letting two goofy dogs play fight through a defenceless screen door would fall under that category. But it was funny. And I made them stop right away… after I got [...]

Kayloo under a halo of light on laundry day (I’ve thrown her bed cover in the wash in the never ending (never winning) quest to banish the fur).

I was out for a lovely afternoon walk with the dogs a couple days ago. It was shaping up to pretty much be a perfect walk. It was warm and sunny, and the dogs were trotting along behind me like they were some kind of saints/someone else’s dogs. And then I felt someone purposefully walking [...]

I took this shot of John and the dogs at the finish line of the BCSPCA’s Paws for a Cause walk held in Victoria last Sunday. It was great fun, hotter than heck and money was raised for a great cause! If you’d like to learn more about Paws for a Cause you can check ‘em [...]

This captures my dogs perfectly: Kayloo la-di-dahing her loping way along… and Mickey getting close enough to grab her by the scruff of her neck and shake her around until she agrees that he’s the boss of her. Boys are a pain.
