Ready for the Polar Vortex

Brrrrrrrr.  It suddenly got super-duper cold here in Pittsbrrrrrrrrrrgh.  While I am adventure dog, and I enjoy a good romp in the snow just like any other self-respecting canine, this bitter wind bothers me.  Especially as I get older, I have far less tolerance for the wind not just whipping through my fuzz, but whipping…

While we may say they’re fat – or big boned, or fluffy, or whatever – they basically don’t care about what we think.  That’s fine. …

Feeling Clean + Green

The nice folks at Clean + Green sent us a can of their carpet and upholstery cleaner, made especially for pet stains.  As you can imagine, we have our share of those.  Oddly, we received the can a few weeks back and there has been no VOMIT, POOP, or PEE in the meantime (well, not…

The Animal Rescue Site

While you’re waiting for your daily dose of Dale dog-gone goodness, I thought I’d tell you about something I make mama do each morning. Every day an email pops up in her mailbox (because she would forget her head if it wasn’t attached) reminding her to click and support The Animal Rescue Site. There is…
