Remembering Matti

Posted on November 16, 2016 by BrassyDel

A few months ago, my dog Matti passed away. He became ill very suddenly, not eating, lethargic, heavy breathing. He had just turned 8 years old, and he had cancer. He died at home four days after his diagnosis. I miss him terribly, and sometimes I still catch myself expecting to see him, or thinking I heard him, but he’s…

Fresno and Geneva: Adoptable Colorado Dogs

Posted on July 29, 2013 by BrassyDel

It’s no secret I’m a nut for dogs, especially homeless ones. The Hubbles has put his foot down on fostering one right now, probably because he’s a boring ol’ rational human being. “You don’t have enough time to do everything you want to do right now, so how are you going to have time for another dog?!” I mean, fine….

Jailed

Posted on June 22, 2012 by BrassyDel

As you can deduce from the abject sorrow on Tank’s face, this is how he spends most of his days. Confined and neglected! He spends days without seeing the sun or feeling the dirt beneath his paws. He’s lucky if we remember to even feed him. Life is hard when you’re Tank.

My Desktop is Cooler than Yours*

Posted on March 8, 2012 by BrassyDel

Fortunately there’s no sound, otherwise it would be barkier than yours, too. Like a typical chick, I change my desktop wallpaper fairly often. Every month or two, or I may go through a phase of putting up a new photo every few days for awhile. While looking for a photo for last Thursday’s Snow Day post, I came across this…

This Stinky Toy is Awesome!

Posted on March 5, 2012 by BrassyDel

If you recall, Tank is not a huge fan of children (or quiet), though since working with an Animal Behaviourist at the beginning of last summer, he’s come a long way. It was actually a very quick turn around, and I’m beyond glad we were able to keep him AND have it safe for everyone. However, while his patience has…

Spoiled.

Posted on August 12, 2011 by BrassyDel

Somebody got a brand new toy! It’s a big, plastic egg by Jolly Pets, is fairly lightweight, and the egg shape makes it wobble erratically when he pushes it. Also, he can’t bite it, and not for lack of trying. Tank is in L-O-V-E with this thing, so I hope it holds up well. He pushes it with his head…

Satellite Adoption Center

Posted on July 28, 2011 by BrassyDel

No, not that kind! Yes, I’d love to adopt a geosynchronous satellite, too, but I don’t think you can. Yet. While we’re waiting, though, you can totes adopt a dog or a cat from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley at their new satellite adoption center in Westminster! The local Petsmart, which is actually where my former roommate adopted her…

Dulce Means Sweet

Posted on July 6, 2011 by BrassyDel

Dulce is a sweet black lab and sheperd mix, rescued from a hoarding case in Arizona. 9 years old, she is calm, gentle, and a bit of a heart-stealer. Dulce is in a foster home right now and can be adopted through the Humane Society of Boulder Valley – the same place our lovely Tank and Matti came from! This…

Menelaus

Posted on June 13, 2011 by BrassyDel

Today I’m sharing a video with you that just makes me SMILE! This is Menelaus, an adoptable pooch currently living at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. If you recall, I volunteered with these folks for a few months before, but can’t manage it anymore with all of these dogs and childrens and such at home. So I’d like to…

Charlie

Posted on June 2, 2011 by BrassyDel

Both Tank and Matti were adopted from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, which is an awesome local shelter. I even volunteered there for a few months after adopting Matti while I was pregnant with Pixie. I love, love, LOVE these guys! The behaviourist we are working with for Tank is also from HSBV, and she’s great. Anyway, one of…
