Have you seen those shows on A&E about people who hoard things? Well I’ve got a dog with the disorder. Sascha, the lovely German Shepherd loves to hoard every toy she can find, then just lay on top of them. This serves two purposes; 1) Maggie doesn’t get any toys as far as Sascha is…

Category Archives: PetsWell not really, but I realize I haven’t posted much this week. I’ve been getting home a little later than normal, then we’ve actually had some rain (yea!) a few nights as well. I’m going to try the early morning Saturday ritual and get some pictures. It’s supposed to be really hot and humid tomorrow… A few folks asked for some recent shots of Coco, our African Grey Parrot. I finally got around to doing just that. Coco makes very few bird sounds, she mainly just talks English. She controls all the other animals in the house. When Sascha starts barking, she says “Sascha Phooey.” When Maggie makes her little… It’s only fair if I have to wear a silly looking hat, that somebody in the house should also have to be humiliated. Here’s Maggie (Golden Retriever) wearing my hat. She didn’t even seem to notice because she was chewing on a bone. Just an interesting article I came across today. It talks about the recent data gathered by Stanley Coren (he’s published a bunch of books about dogs) that shows that even the average dog has the mental capabilities of a 2 year old child. The top 7 “smartest” dogs are below. No wonder I always have… I haven’t talked about Coco (our African Grey Parrot) in a while so I decided to take a new picture of her. As some of you may recall if you have been reading this blog for a while, Coco was very sick about 9 months ago and we nearly lost her. She developed a fungal… Maggie (and Sascha) have to follow me every where I go when I am taking pictures. Since Maggie stopped right in front of me, I took a shot at her beautiful face. Maggie is 7 years old, and chews bones daily so her teeth are normally very white. She’s known as the always happy dog… Some dogs have a really tough life. Take for example, Sascha and Maggie. These poor gals have it really rough. Both of them are on the “Barf Diet” or Raw Food Diet (you can Google the terms if you are interested). How’s this for a dog’s life? Food Fresh ground turkey (from the grocery store)… If you’ve been reading for a while, you may remember that at some point I posted some pictures of Maggie, my Golden Retriever. Maggie is the old lady at 8 years old. Sascha is the big bully. Sascha is a German Shepherd (yes they can be black). I imported her from the Czech Republic 5… Our animals endure a lot in our home. The dogs have to deal with the cats, the bird has to deal with the dogs, and one (of two) of the cats has to endure being tormented by newly hatched Butterflies. This is Chloe, our mixed breed cat. Someone (I won’t name names) likes to torment… Took Coco to the vet on Friday and had a nice $701.00 vet bill. That’s the bad news. The good news is that her x-rays looked really good and internally she looks the best she ever has (since beginning treatment anyway). Should find out her blood work turned out in about a week and if… Something a little different. Here is Coco, our African Grey Parrot. We have been treating her for aspergillosis during the past 9 months. For those that don’t know the story, shortly after Hurricane Ike came roaring through I noticed that Coco was acting pretty lethargic and she was hardly talking at all (this for a… This is Maggie our Golden Retriever. Over the years she’s had to put up with quite a bit from Halloween Costumes, Christmas card photos, enduring Coco our African Grey Parrot, and then Sascha, our big bully of a German Shepherd. This photo might represent a new low for what Maggie has had to endure. It… |
