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……

Photo Fun: Red-Crowned Mangabey

Posted on November 20, 2010 by BrassyDel

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?

Kiss My Booties, Bedtime!

Posted on November 18, 2010 by BrassyDel

As serious an issue as toddler tantrums are, they’re also hilarious. I think it’s important to keep your cool when dealing with a tantrum, and keeping earplugs a sense of humor about it really helps me with that. At 17 months old, Pixie is fully into experimenting with the social tactic of tantruming and has been working on her technique….

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…

Topics typically discussed at Animal Magnetism include news of the day, outdoor life and wildlife, “The Manly Arts,” and (no surprise if you are already familiar with the gentleman in question) a healthy dose of Totty, otherwise known as The Feminine Aesthetic. Today’s…

Matti Says PBBBTTTHHHTT!

Posted on November 13, 2010 by BrassyDel

I almost used this photo for Thursday’s post about snow, but opted for the one where it looked like he was smiling. Matti smiles all the time, but it’s kind of hard to get it on camera. When you ask one of the dogs to hold still or stay they freeze up and look oh so serious. This one? I…

November Flurries

Posted on November 11, 2010 by BrassyDel

A couple days ago, we finally got our first snow of the season. Not that I would have minded waiting much longer for it, rather it’s just an oddity. Sometimes we get snowfall as early as September! Tuesday’s snow was basically a dusting, followed by more dusting today. It’s been snowing off and on since sometime last night, but the…
