Yesterday we said good-bye to Plunger and helped him cross over the Rainbow Bridge. Plunger was 15 and he had been struggling with some health issues for the last few months and the time had come to let him be at peace. Instead of going into a big long story that makes me cry I [...]
I normally don’t give the dogs bones to chew on. It creates a HUGE issue in our house between two very large and intact male dogs who think they are the shit when they have a manly bone in front of them. Mostly it’s the sweet innocent one, Sherman, who has the problem, so after [...]
It looks like summer is finally here and it’s here to stay. Most of my family is extremely happy about that, including me, but there are a few members of our family that wish we could skip over summer and go directly back to winter. Those members are Sherman and Leroy. Poor doggies. Summer weather [...]
I like experiments. Experimenting with new things is good, especially when it involves the dogs and me and healthy things. Our last experiment was with coconut oil and that experiment turned out better than expected. The dogs love it and it appears to of really helped out Leroy’s dry skin issues. It has also been [...]
This is another status update on Sherman’s torn ACL. I have had wonderful feedback from interested readers about sharing Sherman’s journey with his injury, so I will continue to share as long as it is welcomed.

If we would of been given a definite diagnosis, I don’t think it would be an issue, but since no one really knows what happened I still wonder. Now if you would [...]
I’ve been posting Sherman updates on Fridays for the past few weeks but this week it had to be done a day earlier because I can’t hold in the good news anymore. On Monday Sherman went to work with me where we repeated chest films to see how the pneumothorax and pleural effusion was going. Here’s what [...]
Today we are joining the Show Off Your Dog’s Waistline Campaign. It a genius campaign hosted by Jana from Dawg Business where pet owners take a picture of their dogs waistline and share how you’re keeping them fit and trim. I am so excited about this campaign because one of my hopes for 2013 is that we as a [...]
It happened on a Friday morning, December 14th to be exact. I was on my way out the door to a dog show with Leroy and I let Sherman outside to go potty. He walked out on four legs and five minutes later he came back in walking on three legs. As soon as I [...]
