I love my dogs, but they are full-on, downright GROSS. For a couple weeks, Lilly had been paying too much attention to her behind. Last Friday, I finally figured out why. Fair warning, squeamish pals.
In summers past, I lamented the resurgence of Lilly’s inexplicable fear flare-ups. It happens only in the summer and only in the evening. Trust me, we’ve run through all the possible scenarios. But, I have a new theory.
Here is the video we promised. Lilly’s newest and (we think) funniest one to date. If you agree, please share far and wide … and let’s see if we can get it to go truly VIRAL.
Carole Moore, my friend and mentor, wrote a powerful, deeply researched account of missing persons and the people who look for them. In some 200 pages, Carole thrusts you into the heartbreak when a loved one disappears.
Lilly and I enjoyed hiking with more summertime guests last week. Can you deduce from the post title who that might be? Or, are you wondering, “What on earth is a Brew Babe”?
As I mentioned last week, the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine held its annual forum in Denver recently, and I got the chance to attend one of the four days. Here is a brief overview of some of what I did, saw, and learned.
The deadline for this year’s pet blog award nominations is tomorrow, Wednesday, June 29. Lilly and I would VERY much appreciate your nomination as best dog blog. If you’ve already done it, thanks MUCHO. If not, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to help.
Saturday, Lilly and I hosted a special guest for a dog-friendly restaurant patio lunch and hike. This gave Lilly the chance to practice her many social graces. She did terrific in many “scary” situations, but Lilly did lollygag like you would not believe. It kind of freaked me out.
Last summer, Lilly’s entire flat-buckle collar, tags and all, went missing … right off her neck. The dogs wear collars 24/7, so when Lilly came up from the creek bed muddy from nose to armpits with a naked neck, that’s something a girl like me notices.
Fair warning once again, delicate friends. Even our veterinarian found Lilly’s latest wildlife adventure pretty gross, so proceed with caution. (No worries … I didn’t post photos.)
