Sherman, Mind Your Manners!
Would you please stop eating with your mouth open, it’s rude! Honestly, you are three years old now, it’s about time you learned some table manners! Don’t give me that look… and for pity sake, wipe your mouth!

Canadian by Association
Thanks to my friend Candee, the dogs are celebrating Canada Day in style! She has her own dog grooming business and gave us these cute Canada Day bandanas for the dogs to wear to show their pride! It’s a pity she didn’t live closer because I’d definitely go to her rather than our regular groomer, [...]

My Main Man
It occurred to me today that this month is the 14th anniversary of mine and Spencer’s life together. He has been with me from Prince Edward Island, to Toronto and finally over here to the Netherlands. I found him in 1996, I was 21 and had just moved out of home for the first time. [...]

A Sunday Run
Oh you didn’t think I was the one running, did you? Surely you know me better than that! This morning we decided to take the dogs to a nearby area that is enclosed where they can run off their leads. We were up early and it was a rather miserable day so we were [...]

Bailey The Brute
Ever wonder what happens when you get between a dog and a chicken bone? That… that is what happens when you try to wrestle a chicken bone from the mouth of a Yorkie. A few weeks ago I was walking along minding my own business, the dogs were running around sniffing everything and eating poo [...]

This is Pixel, and She’s An Addict
A rawhide addict, that is… Unlike Bailey, who just grabs it and spends hours hiding them in different spots all over the house, Pixel loves rawhide bones. If there is rawhide in the house, it’s hers. What’s hers is hers and what’s Bailey’s is hers. That’s the law in Pixeltown. It doesn’t matter what size, [...]

Basking Beauties
Spencer’s not the only one to enjoy the sun that comes into our living room in the morning these days. The dogs have taken to lazing around in it as well. As promised, Rotterdam didn’t see any snow this weekend! It’s still sunny and beautiful just like I planned. Only 13 days now until the [...]

The Sweet Spot
It appears that I am not the only one looking forward to spring! The sun has finally started showing itself in the Netherlands again and Spencer took full advantage by finding this warm sweet spot on a shelf in our living room. Everything seems to be starting to come to life again. I see flowers [...]

Saturday Photo Hunt – Daily (Dog Drama)
Bailey (top right) and Pixel (bottom right) peacefully engaging another dog. A rare occasion indeed! This week’s Photo Hunt theme is Daily. One thing that is a part of our daily life, come rain or shine, is walking the dogs… and the drama that comes along with it. I snapped this photo last week while [...]

Get It Off! Get It Offfff!
Pixel loves the snow. When we take her out in it she sniffs around, pushes it with her nose, digs in it and runs around like someone put a firecracker up her arse. It’s a very exciting time for her! When we first got her she hated being outside if it was anything other than [...]

First Snow of 2009
Yesterday is snowed in the Netherlands and I woke up and squealed like a crazy person. Thankfully I was home alone as it was one of the few days this month that my husband was called in to work. I thought about going out to take photos but it was so dark and dreary that [...]

Love Opera?
So does Bailey! … or maybe he doesn’t, it’s kind of hard to tell. He also does this with choir music, fire engines and the monthly Monday at 12pm city alarm. Xander took this video last night while I was watching the end of Becoming Jane during a scene at the Opera. We’ve tried so [...]

Have I Mentioned That I Love Autumn?
Hrmm I think I may have… perhaps once or twice. Yeah, I definitely have! LOADS! Yesterday was the first day of Autumn here in the Netherlands and what a great summer we’ve had! Normally, I spend my autumn posts talking about what I love about the autumn but I’m pretty sure I’ve done that to [...]

My Bad Luck With Pets
This has been a bad few weeks for me pet wise and anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I love my pets and it breaks my heart when anything happens to them. First there was Bailey’s attack by a pit bull, which frightened the life out of me and has left [...]

Why You Should Leash Your Dogs!
Bailey in his Medical Pet Shirt, so much nicer than a big ugly cone! Sunday night Xander and I went out with the dogs at about 10pm. As we were walking along Xander was telling me how he met up with a guy a few nights ago with two big Staffordshire’s off their leashes, and [...]
