Getting Up in the World

It was time. Time for a raised feeder.  A tall boy needs a tall feeder.  I’m not a huge gulper, nor do I eat super quickly, so that wasn’t the impetus to purchase this fine feeder.  No, it was just that I looked like a giraffe trying to eat Skittles whenever I would have to…

Haire Cuttery

While I prefer the wild-and-wooly-wildman look, some times things just have to be done.  DAMN YOU HEAT OF SUMMER.  As you may recall, I am not a huge fan of the clippers and will let no other humans touch me other than mama, so hairecuts are a very interesting time.  I usually allow mama a…

Miss You, Dad

Hey Dad, wherever you are, me and mama miss you.  Hasn’t been the same since you passed away 6 years ago.  But we’re a DAMN FINE TEAM, and I’m doing the very best I can to take care of crazy mama.  Just to let you know on your birthday that I’M THE MAN OF THE…

Stickebana

I am a creative sort.  A dreamer.  A dog who revels in the natural world, the seasons, and sticks at every opportunity.  Luckily mama understands my nature and encourages me to constantly improve my stick-arranging-talent.  So each day, we leave our apartment with two or three sticks to start. Sometimes I add to the arrangement,…

Movin’ On Up

Why yes, I do know that it’s been some time since I properly updated my blog.  Thank you for noticing. I suppose that I didn’t realize how heavily I relied on mama and her opposable thumbs to keep the world updated to my adventures.  We’ve had a rough year.  I had all of my medical…

Daddy Hannibal Update

Just a quick update to let you all know that my dad Hannibal made it through his surgery and is doing well!  Of course he’s supposed to be resting now, but like the fine Airedale that he is, he’s already trying to chase cats and use those big, brown eyes to manipulate everyone in sight. …

Hannibal’s Hope

This is Hannibal, Bogart’s father. He is still in very serious condition with stomach torsion, but is defying the odds as only an Airedale can! I am so happy to know Bogart’s family, they are great people, and every bit counts for them! http://www.gofundme.com/uvjvfh9 Love, Bogart

Spring Cleaning

Grrr.  That dreaded time that rolls around every year when the weather starts to get warmer, and the grass starts to get greener.  HAIRECUT TIME. For many years I was handstripped by mama and dad – always retaining a bit of my signature scruff, but less, and shorter fuzz.  In the last few years both…

One Year On

Who would have thunk it?  One year ago I was rushed into emergency surgery because I had a big, honking tumor attached to my spleen (and taking up way more space than anything else in my abdominal cavity).  Big decisions had to be made.  At 5AM, mama and I had to rush out into the…
