Jesse's healing very nicely after surgery. She finished her round of pain/anti-inflammation pills and is almost done with her antibiotics.  Her fur is growing back and the bit of razor burn she had is now gone. There was also some swelling for a few days after the surgery but I'm happy to report ... See Full Entry »

My 13-year-old Rottweiler mix, Jesse, is recovering from surgery.  This past Thursday, she had a lump removed from her chest.  What used to be matted with both dried and fresh blood is now a naked shaved chest with a line of stitches across the middle. I don't remember exactly when we first noticed it.  I'm thinking ... See Full Entry »

I tried to get the dogs to sit still tonight in front of the tree for a photo.  This is not easy to accomplish because A. Jesse hates having her picture taken and B. Penny can't sit still. It was an utter failure.  I tried to lure them in place with dog treats, but Penny kept ... See Full Entry »

My dogs looked too cute sleeping together on the couch tonight, I had to snap a few pictures.  Penny was the only one actually sleeping, though she did wake up for a second. See Full Entry »

I love watching my dogs sleep. They look so innocent and blissful. Here are just a few of the many (many!) snapshots I've taken of them napping during different times. Penny always tries to sleep next to Jesse, and if she's lucky, Jesse will tolerate it. This was at night so it's a ... See Full Entry »
