Have a Fab 4th of July!!

I’ll be entertaining friends and scavenging for crumbs. Looking forward to it!

Downward Dog and Canine Calisthenics

One of my owners hates exercise. After two battles (so far successful) with a life-threatening illness, she found a personal trainer to help her fend off a recurrence. I wanted to do my share, as you can see. Alas, my attempt to increase the resistance for her ab exercises, was not appreciated. Not as reluctant are…

Rainy Day Dog

I am a happily drip-dry dog, so rain doesn’t dissuade me from outdoor play one day. And, as you can see, I am ecstatic about getting a towel rub.

Frat Dog: The 25 Worst Dogs You Met in College

Buzzfeed has compiled a series of  images, The 25 Worst Dogs You Went to College With, that my owners found very, very funny. You can see them at: http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/the-25-worst-dogs-you-went-to-college-with The images are too highbrow for me; I barely finished puppy kindergarten! Still, I did my best to channel a few frat types. Hope you enjoy them.  

Farewell to Winter, Finally?

I may be one of the few creatures sorry to see the winter of 2013 go, but I will be. I loved to snack on snow, roll in snow and try to burrow my way back to Kansas. And I loved to chase those snowballs. My owners, not so much. They are fervently hoping that…

Happy St. Pup’s Day!

I’ve got an Irish name, Cassidy, from the Gaelic given name Caiside, meaning “clever” or “curly-haired,” so St. Patrick’s Day is one I’ll be celebrating this Sunday. If this view of me as a Leprechaun lass is not enough to get you in the spirit, check out this selection of St. Patricks Day Dogs from…

Finding Nemo: Tales of a Snow Dog

Just how deep was it? That’s what they’ll be asking years from now about the blizzard of January 2013 (aka Superstorm Nemo). Thanks to all the photos we took of our new pup — who’d stay in the frigid temps full time if we’d stay out with her — we can document the 14″ to…

What’s in a Name? Hopalong Cassidy

Our new puppy is a pouncer and a jumper and a hopper and a leaper. She pounces on balls, big and small, snow drifts and errant towels that wind up on the floor.  So after a few days of trying out a few monikers — Shadow, from the name of her litter; Kansas, the state…

Introductions Part 2: Our New Puppy

We were four in our household — three humans and one dog — until December 28, 2012, when we lost our beloved Aussie, Jazzy. Still reeling from our loss, we realized our barn/home was too big to be without a dog. So we went online — the same way we found Jazzy –and searched until…
