Old CDs and the kids' outgrown DVDs make lovely windchimes ... I LOVE the idea of hooking up light strings to a motion sensor ... That's gonna be a new project for 2021, once I figure out how to get it to stop asking 2020 to, "Hold my beer a minute, wouldja?" I sure wish Murphy would start...

Congratulations to the winners ... and to everyone who got their feather-babies through these awful molts! And thanks for sharing. It was just the boost I needed, today ... smiles and gratitude that I've never had such a dramatic molt here. My worst molt season was the one where every single...

You have the PERFECT thread starter. Take the same picture, along with a full side and head shot, every other day for the next eight weeks and document the responses you get. By then, you should know the actual gender ... and you'll have some great documentation for future comparison. Besides...

FYI for anyone getting the Covid vaccine ... DO NOT get any vaccinations, for ANYTHING, within two weeks of getting your shot. I got a tetanus booster on Saturday (nasty dog bite!) I checked to make sure my antibiotics were not a problem (they're not) and kept today's vaccine appointment...

Naw, it's anther birthday ... "mines" fits!

Skye was dumped to fend for herself on the backroads o Georgia. She was only a few months old, still very much a baby. We've had to work through a LOT of issues with her (DAWG knows, you've been a great help!) I'm really stumped on this latest one. I know Skye is smart enough to learn, I'm just...

He's as dumb as a box of rocks ... literally. But I don't care. Indy is the sweetest four-leg on the face of the Earth! CD is just that - completely crazy. Actually, she's extremely smart with absolutely NO common sense ... a dangerous combination in a hyperactive. 60 pound dog. She was a...

Yup, Indy is at least 16, probably a bit older. We've had him since he was "between 3 and 5," according to our vet. He was a wandering stray someone simply threw away, and he's a love.

Crazy Dog eats fakers. If I hadn't been right next to her when she jumped him, my little dog would be dead. He's too small and too old to survive that kind of rough-housing.

I had serious concerns about ex's elderly cocker when DS was tiny. At almost 11, Duffy had never been exposed to children, and while cockers generally have a very sweet disposition, they do not usually have a stable one, and kids can be an issue. I needn't have worried. Duffy simply took on the...

My sister has two of them ... and a plott/catahoula/surprise. Neither Bernie is the brightest crayon in the box, but they're very sweet. The mix, on the other hand, is too smart for his own good. Rhett is Dennis the Menace in a 140 lb canine form!

No chows for me ... bad experience ... a cousin lost two couches to one! My ideal lives with friends ... a huge brown Newfie named Bennie. I really need to dognap him ... but I couldn't afford to FEED him! He makes my food thief look like a pickpocket. Bennie once took $27 worth of Burger King...

I would LOVE a wolfie, but they don't live long enough for me. I generally do rescues, so my next dog will likely be a mix. I like really big and/or really small dogs, but Crazy Dog can get food aggressive with goodies. A big dog will hurt her and she's nearly killed my little dog twice., so I...

I want a big, shaggy, brown dog I can name Hagrid!

Isn't amazing how resilient these little birds can be? Glad it worked out ... and I'll watch dates a little more closely, next time!
