Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector

10Jul06

A friend pointed me to the Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector and of course I had to check it out to see what my ideal match is according to them. Given how much Audrey has been whining this weekend since it’s been too rainy to get her much exercise, I wondered if there were […]

Vacation, How I Will Miss Thee

03Jan06

Sadly I must start the work thing again tomorrow.. just when I was getting used to being a bum. Actually it seems like I got quite a bit done over my little break though it seemed like most everyone I knew was out of town so I didn’t get to socialize as much as […]

New Cell Phone For Dogs

07Dec05

According to Wired, a new cell phone for dogs is due to hit the store shelves soon. I’m not sure how cell phone part would be all that helpful at least for me, but the GPS and camera part would be pretty cool:

The ability to track a lost pet has most dog lovers excited. […]

See Spot Run

19Feb05

Last night I was outside fiddling around with the wireless sensor for my temperature clock and I had the door open a little bit for whatever reason. Next thing I know I see a black streak jump through the opening and take off. Shit! The dog escaped! She didn’t run too far […]

No Soliciting

29Dec04

A few hours ago Audrey was looking outside as usual, except she started growling really loudly, and barking with the “I’m a 200 lb badass dog in a 48 lb Greyhound’s body” bark, etc. I was a little taken back as it was the first time I’ve heard her do that other than when […]

Greyhound Racing on Real Sports

23Nov04

I have my PVR set to record this so I haven’t seen it yet, but I thought I’d post that Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (on HBO) is doing a story about Greyhound Racing.

Despite the lack of a widespread fan base, and in the face of constant protests by animal rights groups, greyhound racing is […]

Princess Audrey

06Jul04

I’m trying to avoid being one of those people that only talks about their pet, kids, SO, etc. on their blog, but I was going through pictures I had taken in the past few months over the weekend, and found this picture of Audrey. What a great little dog she is.

New Puppy!

16Feb04

Well, I finally had the courage to try to adopt a dog again, and I picked up the new puppy tonight, Audrey. Audrey is a 1.5 year old Greyhound. She’s a bit of a runt– maybe 50 lbs. tops. She’s potty trained, likes to play with toys (rare for a greyhound), is […]

My House has been 0wned

16Nov03

Yesterday I put Leela in the kennel as always, and headed-off to work. When I went back to the house during lunch, I thought it was peculiar that it sounded like I could hear her whining from the kitchen…

How much for that doggie in the window?

24Aug03

I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that it would be nice to have some company in the house, but I certainly do not want a real roommate. I first thought maybe a cat would be okay, but when it comes down to it, I’m just not a cat person at all after owning a couple […]
