Where’s Ayla been?

Some of you probably know that there's a whole lot of changes going on in our lives right now as we get ready to move into our farmhouse. That has left little time for me to write about our antics at home but I have to say that Ayla really has been really great during...

Life is simple. It is us HUMANS that make it hard.

If a dog was the teacher, you would learn stuff like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it's in your best...

Just can’t get enough…

A few weeks ago, Ayla decided it would be a great idea to start gnawing off one corner of the carpeted stairs in the house. Then the small hole became a tear and more pieces of the corner disappeared and then we knew we were going to be in trouble with the landlord...

Too much cleaning

Well it seems we don't have too much to worry about aside from the fact that Ayla seems to be cleaning herself a bit too much and has caused a slight infection and irritation to her vulva because she is licking it so often. The vet gave us some light antibiotics which...

Off to the vet

For the past couple of days, Ayla has been having accidents in the house again. We're pretty certain she's in heat so we figure it might have something to do with that...or perhaps we're less intelligent than we thought and she's actually not in heat but has a UTI or...

I should have stayed in bed

Today has been quite a day and from the start it just felt a bit off. I guess I probably should have just gone back to bed but somehow it didn't seem like it would be all that bad until the day progressed....actually, I guess it kind of started last night when I was...

Bowling with Emma

Seems that I write about my own personal injuries a lot more than I do about the dog's...but I guess I'm just more fragile than she is.Hubby was home today because he has some nasty cold and I'm definitely hoping I don't end up with it. He's had it for a few days now...

Is it a full moon???

Ok, I'm pretty sure it's not a full moon but wow. So the workers called it a day early. Apparently the helper stepped over something and set his foot down wrong and twisted the thing pretty badly. Hopefully it's not broken but I guess we'll know more tomorrow. So I...

What did it ever do to you??

Ayla and I are at the farm this morning because they are FINALLY getting started on things here. So we will actually be spending much more time here and very thankfully the Internet is now working so I am a very happy camper. For reasons I can't explain, Ayla is...
