Toby Actually Did Something Good!

I arrived at Toby's house yesterday, to find all the sprinklers on full blast. Sprinting up the walkway, I got to the house without getting soaked, and got Toby out for his walk, hoping that by the time we got back, the sprinklers would be off.
No such luck.
When we returned, I dropped the leash, and made a run for the house. Toby was right behind me. Instead of running into the house, he pulled a sharp right and ran into the bushes. Bad Toby!
I got him inside with the help of some treats, but not before I noticed the guy who came out of the bushes.
I thought he was doing sprinkler maintenance, since 1. the sprinklers have never been on at that time, and 2. he was Hispanic.
I asked him if the sprinklers would be on tomorrow at the same time, and he answered affirmatively.
On my way to the next job, I called the house owners and left them a voice mail requesting they adjust the time the sprinklers go off so I wouldn't get soaked.

This morning, Toby's owner called me to inform me that he checked with the sprinkler company, and no one was at the house the day before. Come to think of it, there wasn't any work vans outside either.
So WHO was that man hiding in the bushes, and WHY was he there?
Most importantly, WHAT crime could Toby have possibly foiled?
Things that make you go "hmmmm."

Toby is my new hero!

Don't Be Afraid

Don't be afraid Tucker. You'll never be alone. Your human parents and the doctor will be there, to make your transition an easy one.
When you see the light, go to it. I already talked to my friends: Max, Rigger, One Spot, Lady, Aunt Sue, Lucy, Charlie, Napoleon, Clue, and so many others. They will be there to meet you and show you around on the other side. Soon you will be running and playing like the lunatic I knew you as in your healthier days. You'll be happy, and you can watch over us. Send your Mom a new doggie to love and take care of.
We will never forget you Tucker. But no one wants to see you suffer any more. So go now, and don't be afraid. You will never be alone, and you will always be in our hearts. Until we meet again...Safe travels!

With a Little Help From a Friend

Yesterday morning, while feeling the fish in a salt water tank, one of the shrimp got overly excited and knocked a crab off it's perch. The crab landed on it's back, and started in a panic to get himself up righted. Another crab was witness to the guy's dilemma, and came down to help him get up righted. Mission impossible was solved, with a little help from his friends.

I wish I could make the commitment to become a vegetarian.

Jaws

Guess who did what.

I guess he wanted soup today.




Bad dog, Toby!

Guess Who Did What...Again

Once again, Toby gets into trouble.
He got into the rotating cabinet, which has a child-lock, but obviously not Toby-proof, and got into the corn starch. Not too tasty.
On our walk, he found a corn cob. It became his best friend the rest of the walk.
And when we got home, he ate it.

I learned a long time ago to NEVER take anything out of a dog's mouth.

DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!

Got in my car, put her in reverse, ready to go....
and I can't!
JJ (AKA "Calico Jack") doesn't want me to leave.

It's obvious, isn't it?



She means it, too. Look at this face!

Pure evil.

Don't F*&# With Me Fellas!

No one better take Lusi's bone away from her.
NO ONE.

Most Photogenic

Dennis: a handsome guy.
He takes a pretty nice picture.
And he's a pretty happy guy to take a walk with.

Dream Dogs

A long, long time ago, a kid I used to babysit asked me if there were any dogs that I haven't walked, that I really wanted to.
YES!
They are now my clients.
Meet Cosette and Madison (aka "Sparky").
