Ol’ What’s His Name
His name changed two or three times a day this week. He’s had only one name today — Benny.
Today, he learned he can go in and out any time he wants. He’s using the dog door! We are so happy! And, yes, he’s house trained. No accidents so far.
He knows “sit”. He might know “move [...]

Atcher, Service Dog
I love Atcher! Thank you Otis! Unfortunately, Lew and the newbie don’t agree with me.
At the rescue, he was called Clyde. I don’t think he likes it — he doesn’t respond well to it. And besides, I don’t want to be called “Bonnie” for the rest of my life. So we have to give him [...]

It’s A Boy!
He’s absolutely gorgeous! And sweet. And shy. And Smart!
He’s just a bit bigger than Marley, weighing in at 32 pounds. He’s three or four years old. We don’t know much about him. He’s been living in a rescue since January when he was found wandering. But we’re seeing signs that he was once an indoor [...]

Dr. Doogie’s
Saw Dr. Doogie for a regular check-up today (When I met my eye doc several years ago, I swore he wasn’t old enough to be an eye surgeon.). The timing was perfect. This is the place where Marley did much of her training. They gave us permission to sit in the waiting room and try [...]

A Busy Week
We’ve had an incredible week. Monday started with me at my favorite doctor’s. It went well, no one noticed that Marley wasn’t with me (except the doc). From there, I went to do my blood work for my doctor appointment at the end of the month. The nurse and the vampire asked about Marley.
So, I’m [...]

Another Dog Shelter
Sometimes you have to visit with the puppies to remind yourself of just how much energy they have. What a raucous noise from the tail banging the side of the crate as Lew came over to say hello. The little girl I approached was upside down licking me through the gate.
What a change in the [...]

Heading NorthEast . . .
I started in the door and stopped blocking the way. Reaching around, I gave Lew a shove backwards and said, “You can’t come in here!”
“Beagles! There must be beagles in there! Let me in!” (Major sigh!) Yep, Lew fell in love again. This time with a momma who has a handful of ten day old [...]
