Bunny’s Bulb Buffet

Posted on November 23, 2010 by BrassyDel

Last November, I planted something like 75 crocus bulbs in my front yard at the end of October. When they bloomed in early May, I got about 4 or 5 actual flowers. Several days after planting, I noticed little depressions in the dirt. Uh oh. Was it just settling from having dug and planted recently, or was it something more……

Back in May we took Pixie to the Denver Zoo for her first birthday. Here she is sitting on a park fence outside of the Red-Crowned Mangabey habitat. I absolutely love this picture and her expression. It just screams, “Oh my god, he’s right behind me, isn’t he?” doesn’t it?

At 17 months old, Pixie is fully into experimenting with the social tactic of tantruming and has been working on her technique….

Some-what Indie-inspired Owls

I see all of these beautiful indie-art trees and owls and such, and the clean simplicity evades me. Sigh. Wow, did that sentence just rate a 7.2 on the Emo Scale? Oops, sorry.

Stop and Smell the Roses, Then Pee on Them

Posted on November 16, 2010 by BrassyDel

Having two dogs really puts their quirks in high contrast. Today we’re going to indulge in a little anthropomorphization of my dogs and compare their walking habits to, of course, forum posts. It’s pretty common knowledge that when dogs pee they’re also marking, so I figure it’s sort of like a post to all of the other doggies on the…
