Dogs

Only a day or so after bringing 9-week old Duke home, he began to get sick. I took him to the vet and not long after dropping him off received a phone call from the doctor. He was suffering from Coccidiosis, a parasitic disease that he'd picked up from his mother at birth...

Hey, is it a rainy, miserable day where you are too? No? Then get off the internet and enjoy the sun for those less fortunate. For the rest of us, here's this video of dogs hanging their heads out of a car window.

There's a reason dogs are called man's best friend.

Hate it when dog owners don’t clean up after their pets? A solution may be on the way.

First of all, how could somebody just dump a bunch of adorable puppies in a trash can? Seriously? What is wrong with people? Fortunately, for every (horrible monster of a) person who throws away puppies like they're garbage, there's a person who will rescue said puppies from the trash.

Even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, miracles can occur.

Welp, it's official. This dog's life is more exciting than ours. He's wakeboarding. He can do back flips. He got on a skateboard and didn't break his collarbone. He is officially the coolest dog ever. But that's not the best part.

Okay, maybe we shouldn't say "playing with puppies." Maybe we should say "tolerating being pestered by puppies." Regardless ... SQUEEEE!! It's no secret that we love capybaras (proof), and Cheesecake likes to foster puppies at the animal rescue where she lives...

The countdown is on. Monday's the day we move our seventeen duck eggs to a hatchery (still haven't figured out what that actually means). The entire incubation process for duck eggs goes like this: the hen lays an egg once a day until she's the proud owner of a 'clutch' containing 10-12 eggs...

Most every person that owns a dog likes to think their dog is a smart pup. My neighbor's dog, a black and white Australian Shepherd with blue eyes named Jill, IS a smart dog. She sits, speaks, shakes, rolls over and will fetch whatever you throw for her. Jill's claim to fame in the neighborhood is her ability to seeming really understand what you are saying.
