Food

Mom's food always smells so good, but she doesn't share. She says when I get a job and do the grocery shopping I can buy whatever I'd like to eat. For now, it's kibble in a bowl.

I'm not appreciating the sarcasm.

RIP Tigger

In memory of Tigger, stuffed toy of Jake.

In the world of Siberian Huskies, stuffed animals are toys to be de-stuffed.  Long life spans of even the best stuffed friends are rare.

Tigger lasted about 5 times longer than Eeyore.  He was brought out of the kennel multiple times per day to play tug or for companionship.  He was a great toy and killer of a find at Good Will. It makes me sad to see Tigger go.  Jake will roll with the punches and find another item to de-stuff (preferably one that he is allowed to destroy).

Being a G-rated blog, I won't post photos of the limp, cloth carcass or white fluffy stuff strewn across the floor.

Thanks for the good times, stuffed Tigger.

Love My Squeaky Toy

It has a GREAT squeaker.  Perfect for tug.  Love it!

Happy Halloween

Trick or Treat

Naughty with a capital N

Jake has been squirrely since the moment he woke up this morning - which landed him in his kennel 3 times today to chill out.  That's even with 2 walks, games of tug, a bone, and a kong filled with peanut butter to occupy his time and focus his energy.  And solely during daylight hours.


I heard mom say, "Jake, what are we going to do with you?" on numerous occasions today.

I know what we should do: send him off to boarding school for obedience until he becomes normal.

Jumping for Joy

We are all jumping for joy because Jake has been cleared to go back to the dog park.

Kennel cough gone, antibiotics done, infectivity nil.

With cousin Kylie back home, all of that puppy energy has been focused in the wrong direction a little to often.

Chloe's Day

Today was my 3rd acupuncture treatment.  First I have this acupressure/massage thing done along my spine, then I get stuck with needles.

The needles don't hurt. It just feels weird.  I focus on my Kong filled with peanut butter when getting poked.

I've done really well sitting still during acupuncture. When all of the needles are in I get to walk around. Then they come out and I'm on my way.

After acupuncture today mom and I went for a walk on a trail by the lake. Lots of good smells.

Then home with a great car ride, the windows down, and my nose out to catch the great fall air.
