Malamute
Yes, My Dog is Stubborn
OK, Rumpy time for a walk! He’s so excited! So on goes the harness and leash. Poop bags? Check. Cookies in my pocket? Check. Keys, phone, glasses? Check. Check. And Check. We’re out the door, door checked that it’s locked. Down the steps. Rumpy pees and…… He wants to go back inside. I beg. I … Continue reading
Happy Gotcha Day Rumpy!
Nine years ago today I stopped to keep a furry dog from darting into the road and to help him find his way home. Little did I know his home was with me. Unlike with DeDe, ours has not been an easy relationship. His size, his high activity level, and his breed have forced me to be … Continue reading
My Dog is an Angel
I woke up this morning and my body didn’t want to move. I’d worked 65 hours in 6 days, and I felt it in every bone in my body. Right now we’re so short of staff that we can work all the overtime we want, and since there’s a chance there will be no budget … Continue reading
Malamute Coat Care for Summer
This morning Rumpy decided he wanted to sit outside awhile in the cool morning air, so I took the opportunity to give his coat a good brushing.

Schooling Ya on Personality!
Oh Dog! We got a house bursting at the seams with personalities. It sure makes for an interesting adventure. For example, June Buggie has been sneaking around the computer again. He emailed me this picture of himself yesterday: What does that MEAN? I mean, if he doesn’t know how it works, how did he pull … Continue reading
Update on Negotiations with the Kitty Alliance
I thought I’d let you know the status of negotiations with the Kitty Alliance. Actually, the Kitty Alliance wanted me to let you know the status of negotiations with the Kitty Alliance. Alliance representative June Buggie and I have met several times and talked about Kitty concerns. I had no idea they were so upset … Continue reading
