I’ve been unable to find the intensity in all of my workouts. I’ve changed some things around with my schedule and my routine has been vastly altered to break up the monotony. On cardio days, for some reason, I’ve had a hard time pushing myself. I’ve been plagued with minor joint injuries over the [...]

Havoc – general destruction, devastation, desolation or wasting. In our case, its a little puppy that hasn’t destroyed anything as of yet. She does have a nose for socks and she always seems to find them. They can be off the floor but if we leave her unwatched for a minute or two she’ll [...]

Jessica’s Christmas present, a little Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Havoc, is sitting at my feet chewing on a dog bone. All of the dogs have been outside to go to the bathroom and the little one has been outside and gone twice (luckily I was watching her like a hawk and caught her before [...]

Due to the federal holiday I am not required to be at work so I’ve got a few things planned. I’m heading to an animal shelter to check out a dog that needs a home. We’re hoping that we can provide that home. We’ll see how it goes in time. They want all other [...]

We went out to lunch today and when we came home I found a new face in our driveway. It was a Border Collie mix who was hanging out with our dogs by the fence. I quickly closed the gate and attempted to grab him. He was reluctant to be caught but after about [...]

Dogs have an ability to know when you can’t afford to take them to the vet clinic. Yesterday, after much debate, Jessica and I decided to replace our grill with a propane/charcoal/smoker combo. While I was putting it together the dogs were running free in the yard. Jessica was in the yard playing hide [...]

Last Thursday I went under the laser and got my vision corrected. Most people that get corrective surgery get LASIK and notice immediate results. Due to the thickness of my cornea and the military’s restrictions on LASIK I got PRK, a surgery that requires much longer recovery times. At the moment, I am sitting [...]

A few months ago we had a few “problems” with the dogs trying to escape. I rigged an elaborate and probably excessive enclosure around and above the kennel to thwart any further escape attempts. I can’t imagine trying to stop the dog in the following video from escaping. This dog has done the impossible. [...]

Today I volunteered for an event with the K9 Scooters NW club. It was a pull training course. Basically, you bring your dog and all day we teach you and your dog how to pull. We get them fitted with a harness and you both get to learn about scootering together. It’s usually a [...]

The dang dog got out again – he broke out of the kennel without too much difficulty. We have had quite a hard time trying to keep him contained in the back yard. We reinforced part of the kennel by placing a piece of fence over the top in an effort to prevent him [...]
