Bad Rap Open House

The great thing about living in the Bay Area is being so close to a lot of wonderful dog resources. The bf and I made it out to the most recent Bad Rap open house and it really confirmed how batshit crazy our dogs were.

There were about 10+ dogs from the Berkeley Animal Shelter in the middle of training class and I completely fell in love with a dog named Brando. And that only affirmed the bf's theory that I like the crazy dogs. I would like to take this opportunity to defend myself and say, I like dogs who are "independent". Which I guess could also mean stubborn and aggravating. Anyway, Brando, compared our own dogs, is not crazy. During the class and the post class meet and greet, he was extremely calm and did not jump at anyone's faces. I told Barksdale that if she pee'd in the stairwell one more time, I was going to trade her in for Brando. So her only hope is if someone adopts him first. Here's his profile:

Ender in Flight

Photos like these make cutting the monthly check to the dog walker a little more bearable. Also, the bf says I'm "busted" for the previous post but I did point out to him that he was the one that pointed the shirt out to me and chuckled. So there.

Um, hello....

Product Reivew: Nature's Animals Bakery Biscuits

The best thing about these things is that they are literally the size of my arm. Well maybe my hand (four inches?). This means that I have finally found a treat that can't be consumed with one bite. The dogs actually have to take like THREE bites. The worst thing about these treats is that there's probably like only 10 in each bag. However, this might be counteracted by the "handmade" and "fresh baked" labels. All I know is that Barksdale didn't get the runs after eating it and that makes this a-okay in my book. These biscuits are from Nature's Animals and apparently they make a Big Bite biscuit that is EIGHT inches. Lord in heaven, please let me stumble upon these at least once in my lifetime.

Barksdale has (a) Friend too!

Evidence that Barksdale also has a friend.

Ender has Friends!

Well, one friend.

Dating Services

My friend and I had been discussing the issue of dating and pet ownership for as long a she has owned her pet. One of her requirements is that he must love dogs. Especially her dog.

We've never had this problem since the bf and I acquired our pets together. Although the idea of trying to find a significant other with Ender in tow has probably helped us resolve our differences much quicker.

Anyway, while reading the news, I came across this website called Date My Pet. It is a brilliant idea and I wish I would have thought of it myself.
