A Decking Project

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I had an idea…a little while ago….. If we had a deck…outside the back porch door then…(at the very least)…the hounds would have to traverse over it before coming inside the house….. …..before dropping all of the sand that was Velcro’ed to their coats and feet while they were outside….. Maybe…(hopefully)…the pack will ultimately prefer to lay on the deck…rather than wallowing and rolling in the dirt….. Well…that was my idea anyway….. And…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Yesterday morning we took Willow to Doctor Russell…to confirm that she was pregnant….. She’s been getting paunchy….. Her appetite has increased….. She’s been a little bit more verbal and whiny….. All the things that point to her probably being pregnant….. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ …..Well…The Joke’s On Us….. …..and Willow is snickering….. Willow is NOT in a Family Way….. Ha!….. She’s paunchier………….because she’s eating more….. Doctor Russell said it was hard to read the x-rays…because her…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* The puppies are just starting to open their eyes….. Soon they’ll be introduced to solid food…well not really solid…it’s more of a sloppy/gloppy gruel….. But before that occurs…I thought I would add a pictorial post of what an average tube-feeding meal entails….. The puppies are fat and thriving…but they haven’t figured out it’s the tube-feeding process that fills their bellies…and makes them happy….. They don’t like it…I can’t blame them…I wouldn’t hold still…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I’ve had it….. I’m about to choke him….. He’s a singularly-focused stud dog…. …..and Ben has decided to become a very vocal hound….. He’s not baying at the moon….. …..he’s pining for the girls….. I understand it’s the call of Mother Nature….. But we really need to have a chat…and possibly set up some sort of schedule and/or guidelines….. …..maybe some hours of operation…or something….. I love Irish Wolfhounds…I do….. I believe the…

Sabine?…Why???…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Remember Sabine?….. Pretty Irish Wolfhound….. Nice furnishings….. Upright feet….. Good conformation….. Pretty eyes….. ………….idiot…………. She’s the one that’s not the brightest crayon in the box….. Before being born…she got in the line for trains…when they were handing out brains….. …..and she’s proved it………….again….. She’s way too old (dare I say matured?) to still be chewing up random things….. …..and yet….. If left unchecked…she’ll slip off into the bathroom and take the hand towel…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Ca-Castrophy….. Ca-Chaos….. Ca-lossal….. Ca-Cacias….. Well…I thought it was time for…an Acacias Up-Date….. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He’s Large~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ …..he’s grown….. He’s not a year old yet…I think his birthday’s the last week in January….. It’s hard to tell with Irish Wolfhounds…their size makes you think they’re adults…their actions tell you otherwise…. I thought I’d do a montage-esque picture parade for you….. Acacias doesn’t think he’s grown as large as he has….. He thinks he’s the same size…he…

I suppose…if it’s going to be posted at all…it should be around Halloween….. …..I suppose….. You see…some might consider this subject…indelicate…..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** My older daughter and I have an early morning routine….. We get up early…do basic animal-husbandry routines (including our own)….. It’s dark…it’s quiet…it’s a good time to set our intentions for the day….. …..and then…we sit down and we write….. My older daughter has always been an avid/prolific writer of prose….. And as we all know…I write…”this”…(I don’t know why…but I do)….. …..(I think it’s some sort of therapy)….. We’ve noticed something else……..
