Who knew?

Super rotten potatoes smell just like dog doo.  I mean, to the point that I've been coming home every day, yelling at Wolfey and searching the house for an accident.  Thank goodness I finally found the source, because that was disgusting!

Happy 5th of July!

As a mommy to a more-than-slightly-neurotic dog, you have no clue how happy I am that the 4th of July is over.  Last night, every time Wolfey decided the fireworks weren't so bad and settled down, the neighbors would switch to a new time of fireworks and he would go crazy all over again.  I'm sure, with the holiday being right in the middle of the week, that some people will be celebrating this coming weekend, but I'm really hoping to have a little break so we can both get some rest.  I understand that people enjoy fireworks, and I would never deny anyone the ability to set them off, but I am SO thankful that it's only for a week or so out of the year!

Happy 4th of July!

No real post today, I'm too busy basking in the glow of my TWO DAYS IN A ROW OFF WORK!!  Honestly, I'm still wiped out, but it's such a good kind of tired!  Back to the routine tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

I thought Wolfey was well behaved. I just saw the new Traveler's Insurance commercial - now that's a well trained dog!

Poor pup

I'm at my parents' house, helping with the garden. Of course I brought Wolfey. Poor baby was so disappointed when we got here and his Mema and Papa weren't here!

Notso nutso

I think BBS thinks I've finally completely lost it.  We were talking on the phone the other night while I was making a batch of dog food and I was commenting on the fact that I had a bunch of radishes left over that I won't eat.  She asked why I had bought the radishes and I explained that they're for Wolfey and I tried one but still don't like them; she reacted as if I'm nuts.  She claims I put more thought and work into cooking for my dog than she does in cooking for her kids.  I happen to know that she works hard to make sure her kids are properly cared for, it's just that she doesn't really enjoy cooking.  For me, it's not just that I enjoy cooking, both for myself and for my dog, but it's also that buying these weird (for me) fruits and vegetables lets me try things I wouldn't otherwise buy or eat.  For this particular batch of dog food, I bought all my usuals (lettuce, spinach, apples, carrots, broccoli, etc.) but I also branched out and bought the radishes, plums (they're okay, still not a huge fan), pears (love the taste, still can't get past the texture), peaches (still a big no, but Wolfey seems to like them) and fresh cilantro (still not a fan of the smell, but I do like it in salsa!).  So yes, it seems really silly that I bought radishes for my dog when I don't like them, but this has proven to be a good way for me to branch out, not only in what I feed the dog, but in what I eat, as well.  I'm so lucky to cook for my dog and get to experience new things through him!

Tummy time means something totally different at our house.
