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…

Things (Babies) Are Heating Up for Day Three

Posted on December 14, 2011 by BrassyDel

Day Three started early. At 4:30 am, I was abruptly woken by the little ball of fire sharing my bed. He was thrashy, whimpering, and his last dose of ibuprofen was now completely worn off. I immediately got out of bed with him and checked his temperature. As undignified as the experience is, he was so miserable he didn’t even…

Domestic Bliss During the Hunt: Day One

Posted on December 9, 2011 by BrassyDel

So my little 6 month old is usually one Happy Chappy, and then last week rolls around. It started with a sniffly nose, and escalated with crankiness and don’t-you-dare-put-me-down-ness. He still hasn’t cut that first tooth yet, and his mouth was not dissimilar to a drippy glue gun; those drool-strands were getting everywhere. Okay, so the poor kid is teething….

Babywaker

Posted on September 26, 2011 by BrassyDel

On occasion, Tank’s behaviour will earn him an entire litany of insulting names. As is customary, the worst name comes last: Baby-waker. Pixie has always been a poor sleeper. She has difficulty falling asleep and wakes at the smallest sounds and minor interruptions. She sleeps very lightly, just like her father. She did not sleep through the night until 11…

Spoiled.

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…

Woof!

More dogs. I think I am starting to get back into the “cute” groove. Yea!

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…

pug-a-licious

Posted on July 28, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’m not what you’d call a girly-girl, especially in regards to dogs. In general, I like big dogs. Big, active dogs. And when I think big, active dog, I don’t really think Pug. But that’s okay. While I don’t think I will ever find myself in the market to own a Pug, I can appreciate that they’re perfect for someone…

Slightly Unoriginal.

No, I did not come up with that tagline. Yes, I still think it’s funny.

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…
