Camp K

We took some video last year of the NWSDA race at Camp K. Jessica had a few hours this morning and I walked her through video editing. She took all of the video reduced it to less than two minutes. As she learned, most of the video recorded is crap and can be deleted.

Havoc in our day

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 [...]

Time will tell

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 [...]

Dogcatraz returns

We were out of town for Leanne’s birthday when we got the call. Hello, we have your dogs.

We headed back to Lakewood and picked them up from the wonderful people that had wrangled them. They had crossed a major road but were no worse for the wear. We got back to the [...]

6 hours

It took six hours but it was worth it. Last week (when Duke ran into a solid object) we purchased a new grill/smoker and haven’t had the chance to smoke something. I had half a brisket in the basement and some hickory and it turns out it was a match made in heaven. “Far [...]

Dumb dog

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 [...]

31 days, 744 hours, or 44460 minutes

Irregardless of which way you add up the numbers, I’m going to spend a long time away from work. I have a bunch of leave available and I decided, hey, why not take a bunch of it all in one giant go? I won’t be traveling far from home during the duration of my [...]

Electrified Dogcatraz

I had to stay late at work today – joy of joys! They provided me and my car a ride home because driving tired is as bad as driving drunk. Imagine staying up until 3AM – yeah – that’s the level of tired I was experiencing. I had consumed copious quantities of caffeine but [...]

Dogcatraz

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 [...]

M.I.A.

I’ve dealt with it in the past and I didn’t expect to deal with it again – but – its happened. I have a spastic dog. Fireworks are illegal in the state of Washington – save for a span of about 36 hours around the fourth of July and new years. Despite the fact [...]
