Sunday morning, we got a call from my parents - would my husband be available to drive with my dad and their dog Mariah down to Chicago to pick up a new dog from a rescue? Of course he said yes. So I puttered around the house while the drove down and went to bed … Continue reading My Parents’ New Dog or My Husband’s Biblical Adventure
A local rescue had a Puppy Pool Paddle on Saturday, and we went! What's a Puppy Pool Paddle? In short, they rent the local pool and invite dog owners to bring their fluffers, and then they let the dogs loose to play! Here's our boy, Tundra: He was SUPER well behaved and played so hard … Continue reading Puppy Pool Paddle!
I did manage to get some photos of Tundra playing in the water from my brother, so here they are for your entertainment. And of course I don't include photos of anyone else without permission, so you don't get to see my husband. But doesn't Tundra look silly? He was having so much fun sloshing … Continue reading Tundra’s Water Pictures!
Our malamute, Tundra, ADORES playing with water. He splishes and splashes in the rain, and we have a kiddie pool we fill just for him. And when I water, he chases me around trying to eat the water coming out of the house. Loves it. We spent yesterday afternoon at my parents, down around the … Continue reading Tundra Loves Water
We had Tundra kenneled during our trip last week, and he always gets stressed, even though he loves the vet and the ladies. We guess it's because there's no one there at night.

He started bouncing around and gave that characteristic snowdog 'Wooooo!', so we got up to check. One of our neighbors' Husky and German … Continue reading Here, Doggy, Doggy!
I mentioned that my dad had come over to look at our plumbing. Well, what I didn't mention is that he brought my mom's retired service dog with him so she could get out of the house.

My parents have two dogs, Jacob and Mariah. Mariah is a malamute and Jacob is a malamute/German Shepard mix.

The picture above is an older … Continue reading Bad News Comes in Threes #1
(Or: How My Dog Behaved Himself For a Change) So, we have a malamute mix, and his name is Tundra. He's a Very Pretty Boy, and he knows it and just basks in all the attention it gets him. He thinks people exist to pet him, fawn on him, and give him treats. True story. … Continue reading In Which Our Dog Was Not A Problem
