Puppy pics

Pepper ain’t so tiny any more. She’s 52# and a good size now. Not much more growing in expected, maybe a bit more weight, but this should be her final size. And yes, she likes to lay down to eat. Lazy bum.

Why dogs are better than cats

When the shooting starts, they have your back Cats? They’ll wing you in the leg so they can make their getaway. Hat tip Michael from Tactilite

Interesting items found on the floor of the Sharp as a Marble compound last night

A puppy sized molar. Gross and yet interesting at the same time.

I’m thinking the vet’s estimation of “50 pounds” is off by a bit

Less than 6 weeks from this to this I see German Shepherd, but I also see Doberman. Anyone else want to take a wild guess of her muttiness?

I’m a reasonable, logical man

But my wife should realize she cannot send me a photograph of a puppy that needs a home and expect the logical portion of my brain to not get overwhelmed by my emotions. Thusly, I shall be coming home to this today You may now Squee.

Le zoo de l'Allens

Because a) I bought my wife a new camera for her birthday and b) I haven't posted pictures of them in a while and c) it's my blog and I can do whatever I damn well please.

This weekend's damage report

The pup managed to snarf 6 strawberry cupcakes (with paper liners) and several breadsticks from the counter this weekend. We forget how tall she is. Apparently, there is no safe spot you can store food on the counters. Time to make a few habanero and Tabasco treats to leave up there.

Still not adjusting well

Poor dog. I don't think she's ever going to feel like she's truly at home

New dog + treadmill = funny

Dog didn't know what to make of me running on the treadmill last night. She was afraid of the machine (this is the first time since she's been with us that it had been turned on. I know, I know…), but apparently was thinking I was going for a walk without her which resulted in lots of 'running towards' and 'hightailing it away'. I managed to do 2 1/4 miles without keeling over and dying, which is pretty good considering it's been a few weeks since I hit the damnable thing. I've been doing...

Inju-Wii

Last night, the Mrs. and I were Wii Bowling. The dog apparently didn't get the memo to keep her head low. The Mrs. bonked her pretty good in the noggin (and ended up rolling a gutter ball) Dog didn't seem phased in the slightest.

More pooch pics

Hard as it is to believe from the other photos, this dog is actually quite active.

Still not adjusting

I don't think this dog is ever going to settle down and feel at home here Already, the cats have learned to deal with her. This is the first time I've seen all three animals in the same vicinity since we got Lizzie. Granted, Bueller is trying to kill her with his laser vision…

You ain't nothin but a hound dog

Welcome the newest member of the Sharp as a Marble Compound, Lizzie Lizzie is a rescue dog. Her previous owners were active military and couldn't take her with them. She's approximately a year and a half old and is a hound mix. A lady I work with works with Lost Angels Animal Rescue and had posted a description of her online at work. She sounded perfect for our family – not quite a puppy, but still young enough to be trained, didn't mind cats, loved kids, and housebroken. She's all of that...
