Hey all, So Ollie and I went hiking today and he was in and out of a lot of brush and trees (we all were). I bathed him. He thought it was a good idea to lay in mud :) Then I went and grabbed dinner.…Continue

"Thank you" after walk
Posted on November 21, 2012 at 4:18pm 18 Comments 1 Favorite
To start off, like most dogs, Ollie loves walks. Now that it is cooler out (under 100 degrees) Ollie and I have been enjoying our (admitedly, almost) daily walks. I live in a valley in the middle of Texas, so the pollen count is ALWAYS high. If it is too hot I have a hard time breathing, but lately it has been pretty awesome outside. Since it gets dark so early now, to avoid mosquitos (yes i know, it is crazy that mosquitos are still active in November. As an Indiana girl, I'm completely…

So Ollie had another opportunity to visit church this week. He was so excited. Since I knew it would be with preschoolers and babies, I wanted to make sure that we got some of that energy and initial enthusiasm out of our system before all the people showed up (It was a MOPS - Mothers of Preschoolers family fall activity night...costumes encouraged...).
Ollie ran around what we call "BiG House" for a couple minutes and then seemed to be pooped (or maybe just hot...he did have…

So yesterday I received notice that they would be testing the fire alarms "sometime after 11am" (what does that even mean?) in my apartment complex. Well, being that Ollie stays home (crated) while I work, and that he has never heard fire alarms before and he is a scaredy dood, I decided that Ollie needed to go on an adventure to my office. Most people in my office were going to be gone today and so it seemed like a perfect time to test it out. :) He did great. He barked a couple times when…

Our "gotchya" day year doodleversary was about a week and a half ago and as I sit here with Ollie boy cuddled up on my lap, I think back to our first week together.
This dog drove me crazy. Did I love him? Yes. Was he adorable? Yes, but it was not an easy start. A year ago I had just moved 20 hours from my family and started my first grown up job in a position that was "difficult" (to say the least) and I was extremely lonely. It's crazy that it has been a year...what a huge year it…

Rae said… - Hi, what I'll do after December 1st is make up the lists with a max of 50 members on the main lists. But I will also make up a large list that has everyone on it. The reason for having 50 names on each list is because most card orders are for 25 or 50. I make up the lists by when addresses were entered. For whatever reason the members aren't listed in the order they join.

Sandy, Hattie & Theo said… - I'm not sure if she has what would be called a sensitive tummy but she is certainly not used to processed foods and the one time I gave her one she ended up in ER. It may have been tainted because it had no preservatives or like Karen said just too processed for her. But the yogurt is good for her and me!

It's nice to be able to get a five star dog food at Petsmart. Also, I give Hattie a couple tablespoons of plain lowfat yogurt once a week or so for her digestion too. I like toppers becasue I know she is getting some fresh food every day. I have a dehydrator and about once every month or two I dry chicken strips and beef chunks and yams and apple slices and put them in zip lock baggies in the frig. They last a long time and I use them for treats and put some in her food if there isn't anything fresh to be had from the frig.
- At 4:44am on June 26, 2012, Sandy, Hattie & Theo said…
- Yes, Blue Buffalo Wilderness is the only food she has ever had, except I add blueberries or green beans or broccoli or cut up dehydrated yams or meats. She has never had a problem with it ever. I am trying to cut her back a little now. I only feed her 3/4 cup twice a day plus whatever I add to her dish. What do you feed Ollie?
