The Cheesecake is Rich

So, the dogs needed flea treatment. We use Frontline Plus (we used a new pill flea treatment, which I loved for its ease but hated the cost). I bought a 3 pack (1.5 months worth for two dogs) at Petco for $62. I’d been pricing it online and I thought that seemed high, but I [...]

So, Scooby is 6 years old. He is not my cuddly dog – he is long legged, full of sharp corners. We trained Betty to drop things using a command called “Leave it!” (and this works even when she has something delicious like wet food). When we tried to do the same training for Scooby, [...]

Never let the dogs chew on beef rib bones ON our bed. Just a bad idea, all the way around. Eccch.

I just had to hunt through 4 different “Favorites” menus in Safari (my web browser of choice) before I could find my link to post in my own blog.
In better news, the Great Black and Brown Hunter (a/k/a Betty) killed a rabbit today. And left it behind my chair. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Fortunately, Gene handled disposal. Eek.
And [...]

For dinner tonight I’m eating a frozen meal. It is “Lemongrass Coconut Chicken” by Kashi and it smells exactly like I remember Malaysia smelling. (Yes, I’m back on that topic). Oh, the smell makes me want to go back, so badly. It must just be my mood right now but… it makes me want to [...]

So, we went to a chili cookoff but didn’t eat chili and spent 3 hours Saturday waiting for the cops (which is why we didn’t get to eat chili).
(And how was YOUR weekend?)
Anyway. So, we dropped the dogs off and headed out of town to go to a chili cookoff in a small town a [...]

I think spring is here… the birds are chirping, the weather is going to be 70+ degrees this weekend, and the mice are back.
That is, the dead mice.
In my house.
(AHHHHHH!!!!)
I emailed Gene about it last night: “Please advise where you would like FedEx sent containing Betty and 1 dead mouse”
He called – not emailed, CALLED [...]

the dogs, especially Betty, hate it when I sing. I was watching YouTube videos last night and singing along to U2’s song “Stay” when I noticed that Betty wouldn’t stop groaning (“MOM, STOP IT!”…freaking dog). Okay okay, I can’t hit the notes Bono can but seriously who does Betty think she is?

Puppy Bowl MVP
Holy cow… between this and the beagle being named Best in Show at Westminster last year, I expect that Betty and Scooby are going to pop up with some J-Lo style demands. Scooby will demand I debone his beef ribs and Betty will make me kill mice for her.

So, the dogs are stuck in their kennels all day while Gene is gone. The pet sitter comes in for a little while during the day but they’re used to a whole lot more freedom. I thought of taking them to the pet boarding place for the day tomorrow, but Gene had a better idea: [...]
