The Games Veterinarians Play

While mom is at the vet’s office waiting for Goliath she’s looking for something to kill a few minutes and this is what she finds. What kind of sick game is this? If anything you would think they would have a game of Operation lying around somewhere. But this? The rules aren’t even clear, what score do you need to win? That is all.

Be loved for you. I’m just sayin’. Woof! -Kensy, The Dog

Snow Day

It’s sleeting outside so I’m stuck inside like an animal. I figured since I had nothing else to do I would share some of my fav movies with you. Woof! – Kensy, The Dog

Old Yeller: Did you know he didn’t really yell a lot, just got a bad rap early in his career and was never able to shake it?

Reservoir Dogs: Not about sporting dogs but just as violent.

Westminster Kennel Show: Hoowah! Who doesn’t like to look at the ladies all dolled up?

Scarface: “Say hello to my little friend, Snoopy.”

Not Happy With Your Vet?

We had a vet that we went to for over 10 years and were very happy. Unfortunately everything changed about six months ago when she left the practice. Although there was another vet there she wasn’t ‘our’ vet and we didn’t have the relationship with her that we had with ours. Since we had been with this practice for so long, the staff was practically like family, we decided to stay. However, after visiting the new vet on a number of occasions my husband and I just weren’t happy, we decided it...

A Walk In The Park

We had a great walk today. Mom was especially happy because we hit the poo trifecta. You know, all three of us took a poo a in the woods. If you poo in the woods and no one is there to see it did it happen? Whoops, got sidetracked. Anyway, Goliath took an extra so there was a bonus poo. This makes mom happy because it’s less for her to scoop in the yard.

The good thing about walking with Goliath is that you always know when he is going to poo, he has his own built in warning system. For the fi...

Rules to Riding Shotgun

It is gorgeous here today which means I get to go to for a ride over to the park. Like Doublemint gum, ‘Double your pleasure, double your fun’. What’s really fun is riding shotgun but when you’re competing with your family members for this coveted position there are rules to follow. Here’s a cheat sheet to help out.

1. You must ‘bark’ shotgun to stake your claim.

2. It must be barked outside, not when you hear ‘Wanna go for a ride?”

3. Barking shotgun must be within sight of the dogmobile. If it...

Working Class Dog

Pondering: I just found out Goliath our Bernese Mountain dog is supposed to be a working dog. Kind of ironic because the dog hasn’t worked a day in his life. They originate from Bern, Switzerland where they pulled carts carrying cheese. I can see Goliath in the cart eating cheese, maybe a cracker or two, but that’s about it. Working at stealing food, yes, pulling it around…nope I don’t see that happening. I’m just sayin’. Woof! -Kensy, The Dog

Friday Funny

Take the test. Of course the score can vary depending on how many times you eat in front of your dog, if you’re not offering to share with your pup, or if you try and sneak food in the closet so they won’t know you’re eating. Although if you do the last one I think it’s safe to say you are highly paranoid. I’m just sayin’. Woof! Kensy, The Dog

How To Find The Perfect Valentine

Are you looking for a pair of baby blues to stare longingly into? Still haven’t met the perfect one? Don’t spend another Valentine’s Day alone, I have a solution, dog adoption.

You can meet that special four-legged companion to share dinner and a movie, exercise with, or just spend the day lounging around.

When my husband and I adopted our first dog, about 15 years ago, he was around 11 months old. Eight years later we adopted Copper, she was around 6 months. It wasn’t so much that we set out t...
