That sounds awful! Fuzzy has Elephant Gerald, a stuffed elephant with 5 sqeakers in it. It would be ok, except he chooses to play with it and smoosh it against my head at 3am. SqeaksqueaKsqueakSqueakSkweek

hehe. Grody little carnivores. One of the foster dogs I had was this goofy chihuahua. One day I came home with a friend and she had gotten into a package of those Carefree liners. They were the individually wrapped ones and she'd somehow managed to unwrap quite a few and stick them on the...

I love all the little dogs. This picture cracks me up though.

Ha ha...your dog's a fence-licker. :p I wonder this too, though. Fuzzy likes to lick my metal file cabinet, the metal bar on my desk chair, and my stainless steel T-squares and rulers when they're within his reach. Metal. He'll spend a long time doing this. At first I thought...

heh...I will be doing everything necessary and on the up and up. It's just figuring out what is necessary. And yes...if i don't, they will check. If I do...they probably won't. I'm not risking it. I want Fuzzy to have a big adventure too. :p

I thought rabies vaccine was a one-time deal, along with some of those others. Clearly, I have much to learn.

Have any of you taken your dogs to Canada (by car) from the US? Just did a little research to see what's involved, and came up with this. Basically it sounds like all I'd need is a rabies certificate, but Fuzzy was vaccinated years ago through another owner. He has a rabies tag with a...

congratulations! :) I fostered several dogs before I found Fuzzy. I think it's a good thing for anyone to do before adopting - you get to help a shelter, plus find out what type of dog fits you best. I wasn't even planning to adopt one permanantly, but the minute I saw Fuzzy he was...

hehe...was going to suggest that too. If you are working from a photograph, it's interesting to turn it upside down and draw it. It forces you to draw what you actually see...rather than what you think it should look like. Sometimes the left (analytical) side of your brain gets in the...

heh. I think the Petsmarts and Petcos have been "marked" so much that our dogs forget themselves and figure it's ok. Fuzzy has a charming way of doing that carpet-scooting maneuver only when I have company over. Also, years ago we had this beautiful little dog, Francis. One winter we...

I Love My Dog, by Cat Stevens I love my dog as much as I love you But you may fade, my dog will always come through. All he asks from me is the food to give him strength All he ever needs is love and that he knows he’ll get So, I love my dog as much as I love you But you may fade, my...

I would guess the park board would be the ones to go to. Don't know how it works where you guys are, but here they occur once a month and it's open to the neighborhood residents. I like this idea a lot and how you've already started thinking through the design needs. :) I have had the...

What a great thread! It's neat that you guys are sketching. Keep at it. I really like that one a few pages back of "yawning dog." I'm a little out of sketch practice myself, but here's one of Fuzzy I did during a dull meeting last month. (white pencil on black paper....from...

I love thunderstorms. Fuzzy's still terrified of them though, so I always wind up with a shaking dog in my lap. The other night there was a storm while i was out and when i came home he was cowering in the bathtub and it appears he had even tried to pull the bathmat in with him to hide...
