My Dogs

The girls got class

May 8, 2011 – 5:05 am

The pack is completely groomed now. After, I groomed Oliver I groomed Princess and Lady. Now, they look like a complete package. They also all feel better with less hair. I thought I would share photos of Princess and Lady’s grooming experience.

Fluffy Princess before the shave down begins

Bobble head Princess. Half way done and as you can see she wasnt enjoying the rain.

Princess all shaved down. She now gets cold easily. Good thing I have tons of clothes for her.

Shaggy Lady

From dog to lion. I liked the lion look so much that I kept her as a lion for a few weeks.

Finished Lady. No matter what haircut Lady gets she always looks beautiful.

Who do you think looks better groomed?

Let it snow dogs!

January 13, 2011 – 7:44 am

We did not get any snow before Christmas but we sure got a lot after. We got three snow storms in about two weeks time. Lots of shoveling and careful driving but also full of fun. The dogs had a blast in it. Well, Lady is not a big fan of snow but Oliver seems to love it this year. He just runs and jumps right through it. The snow definitely doesnt phase Princess one bit. She just marches right through it like it wasnt even there.

Do your dogs like snow?

Christmas

A calm Christmas

December 31, 2010 – 12:56 am

I know I am writing this post kind of late but I have been lazy with my photography editing. Anyways, I had a nice Christmas day with my mom at home. We didnt bring Grandma over this year because she isnt as strong as she use to be. But my mom and I did go see her Christmas day for a little bit. She is always happy to see us even though she may not remember later on.

I bought my mom three gifts this year and she loved them all. First, I got her an Italian bowl that I found in one of my favorite antique stores because she collections Italian ceramics. Good thing I know my mom’s taste in ceramics. Second gift I got her was an Italian phrases calendar. By the end of 2011 she will be talking full blown Italian. The last gift I got my mom was a zebra pattern snuggie. Hehe. Doesnt she look nice and cozy in it?

I enjoyed everything my mother got me also. She got me all different car accessories that are good to have in the car at any time. Safety first right? Right! She also got me a gift certificate to Dunkin Donuts and Kohls. Plus, she got me other little nick knacks. Thanks mom!

When my mom and I got home we cooked a Christmas dinner. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and gravy. Let me tell you we werent the only one who enjoyed the food. As you can see Lady got some gravy all over her face. At least she is happy about it. I am amazed Princess or Oliver didnt try to lick it off her. What a dirty girl she is!

Pack away and throw away

August 17, 2010 – 10:51 pm

Today I packed away all of mom’s Italian pitchers that she had in her glass cabinet. No, we arent moving and she is definitely not selling them. We are just clearing a lot of stuff out from the first floor because we are getting our wood floors refinished soon. Our wood floors have no protection. Its raw wood. Its time to get them refinished to protect them from the dogs and everything else that walks on them.

Its never easy when there is always a dog getting in the way. As you can see Lady decided to lay on the newspaper that I was using to wrap up the pitchers. But I didnt make her move. I left her laying there and used the pieces of newspaper that she wasnt laying on. Yes, thats right. She got me wrapped around her paw. Just look at that beautiful sweet face! She is so huggable. I give her at least one hug a day.
Oliver was not far from me either. He was watching me the whole time. If he ever turns into a human he would know how to do everything. He is such a smart boy and the cutest!

As you can see it is junk night here. My mom puts out stuff early to give people a chance to come by and take what they like. People did come by which is nice because free stuff is always great. Hehe! I sometimes like walking around and seeing what stuff other people put out. It can be dangerous though if my mom sees something that she likes because she might just bring it home. Dont let my mom see chairs. We have enough chairs Mom! What is your favorite junk night item you see or have?

My father is my mother

June 20, 2010 – 10:16 pm

First off, I want to wish all the fathers out there a happy fathers day. I hope you got your lawnmower, toolbox or alone time that you wanted. If not then what did you get?! As you all know my mom is my dad all in one. Isn’t that neat? Its pretty sweet. I do like the rare species in life. Anyways, I do not celebrate Father’s Day. I am perfectly happy with just my mom. Except, it would be nice to have a man around sometimes. Like when we put a chandelier up in the dining room. My mom can get the lights on but couldn’t turn them off. Also, when we had piping explode in the bathroom and we had to call an emergency plumber late at night. Now those are some memories we just laugh about now. How about when a boy wants to take me out on a date? A father would be good to scare them so much that they pee in there pants so they will be a gentleman. And if you plan on taking my mom on a date, I better approve you first. Also, she must be home by twelve! No sooner and no later. Hehe.

Completion of Small Animal Care

June 2, 2010 – 11:55 pm

Guess what. I got some great news. I got my certificate yesterday for completing my small animal care course. You know what that means? Now, when I get into the animal business I have proof to show that I have experience and skills to work with animals. Its actually very exciting to me. Ive always looked forward to getting to the point in my life where I can work. Maybe its because I want to do my passion and that is to work with animals. I would love to get into pet sitting soon. Take care of peoples pets when they are away is perfect for me. I mean I know some people think I should get into pet grooming or vet but thats not what I am aiming to. Grooming is more of a backup for me because the stress of perfection in it for me might not be good for me. I am happy to have it as a backup because people are always looking for grooming for their pets. I plan on starting as a pet sitter and in the far future to open my own doggie daycare. Maybe some photography or something else here and there. Also, was thinking of getting into dog training. My animal care teacher says I could be the next Cesar Millan. I dont think so but I would love to help people understand their dogs. You know how many dogs could of been saved from being placed in a shelter or euthanized with just a little training. Its sad and I think I would feel like I accomplished something by helping people to understand their dogs that are just waiting for the guidance. So, I will just have to start and see where my path takes me.

Lady Lump

May 19, 2010 – 11:53 pm

Lady went to the vet today and ended up coming home with a cone on around her neck. She was not very happy about it but she is getting use to it. So, why does she have a cone? Well, about a few weeks ago I noticed her licking and chewing at her foot constantly. The fur on her foot was turning to that rusty red color of saliva and I decided to carefully take a look at it. Guess what I found. A lump! I mean it was not like a lump under the skin. More like a little tumor that was growing. So my mom and I wanted to get it checked out as soon as possible. We dont want any ugly tumor growing on our beautiful Lady.

So, the vet gently checked Lady’s foot. Wonderful thing is Lady did not snap at all. Good thing we got a nice sweet women vet today. We are not exactly sure what the lump is yet. The vet gave us some medication to try for about a week or two to see if the lump becomes smaller. That will tell us if it is an infection. Also, the vet took a sample to send to a testing lab just in case its a cancerous mass or something else. Lets pray that its not.

Anyways, the cone is on her head to keep her from licking and irritating it. I know she looks so sad but she is doing so well. She has some difficulty getting around with a cone around her neck but she is getting use to it. Princess and Oliver still accept her. They just gotta make sure to not get in the way of the cone. Hehe. You know what I cant believe. On her vet record it says she is nine years old. I mean that is an estimate. We dont know her real age. We dont know any of the dogs ages since they are all adopted. We guess and make our own ages for them. Did you know I kept Princess at 6 years old for a few years? Thats right! Its the same thing I say about people. I dont judge by age. Thats not what makes a dog. Thats not the importance of dogs. The soul of a dog is what matters and Lady’s soul is beautiful. She will get well soon because she is one tough Lady!

Snowy Sunday Romp

December 20, 2009 – 11:29 pm

It snowed all day yesterday which gave us 3-5 inches of beautiful white snow to play in. Lets just say the dogs had a blast romping around, while I froze my tush off. Since the dogs felt like running and jumping through the snow I grabbed my camera and starting photographing the acttion…

There goes Oliver starting the playtime by getting lady to chase him. Look at that boy jump!

Lady is the least fond of snow so she just plays for a few minutes and then stands on the porch to watch. Doesnt she look cute in the christmas collar?

Oliver just kept jumping over that branch as if it was no difficulty. He would be so good at agility if he could keep focus for more than a second.

Oliver zooming by to see how fast he can go. Go Oliver go!

The opponent… Princess.

Oliver takes his jumping moves all over her. She stands strong.

Princess tries to bring Oliver to the ground. She fails.

Next, Oliver turns and slows down the Princess with his skilled moves.

Since Princess is middle aged the two opponents decided to take a quick break together before turning against each other.

Oliver stretching and showing off his cute Christmas shirt that says fleas navidad.

Look at that messy snowy face he has. Thats a face of fun.

Before going after Princess Oliver decided to see if Lady wants to join in…she refuses.

Now look at Princess’ face. She is showing off all the snow on her face. She wants to win the contest of most snow on face. You win girl!

Oliver trying to shove Princess out of the way because he thinks he has the better singing voice. I will let Lady decide on that one.

Oliver got what he wanted. He got Princess after him again. The challenge is back on.

Both standing strong. Who will take out who?

The race is on. Run!

A cropped version of the phoot above. You can see how serious Oliver is about winning. Making sure Princess wont pass him.

Ah, and Princess won the race! Dont worry Oliver there is always next time.

Yoda Princess romping around to celebrate.

Princess is hoping you all enjoyed the action and photos.

Stay tuned for the next challenge when the dogs decide to romp around again.

Peace.

Bath Day

November 23, 2009 – 10:29 pm

I spent most of my Saturday bathing the dogs. Killing the pesky fleas and making them smell good. The faces they gave me were so sad and cute at the same time that I could not resist grabbing my camera and photographing them. For your information they were not very fond of me for the rest of the day. Well, until it was dinner time and they became all lovey dovey. Dogs…gotta love them!
