Just when I started to think I could trust her again, I was quickly informed just how stupid that idea really was. Over the past few days, I have been letting Ayla spend more and more time outside unattended. The lengths are not too long in my opinion but certainly...
That seems like a lot of blood
Yesterday was our first near trauma with Ayla. Somehow she managed to bust open her nose and it was bleeding rather well for a while...and not really slowing so we thought we might have to go find an emergency vet (we were at the farm and our vet is about an hour from...
Yowzers that hurt!
Last night, I thought for a few moments that Ayla had broken my nose. Pretty good opener right? 😉 I was sitting on the couch and watching some TV with hubby when Ayla came up and wanted to play. She has a rope toy which has two balls with little round bumpy things...
What’s wrong with the grass?
It is now officially freezing in Germany. I don't mean that figuratively but literally. When I let Ayla out to go pee this morning, she walked out onto the grass and looked around herself, wondering what that strange crunching sound was. 🙂 Since she was born in...

Over 100 ways to help animal rescue organizations
There are many, many wonderful people in this world who dedicate their hearts, souls, time and lives to helping animals in need. These are not just the workers at local animal shelters but rather those who take in pets who have become "problem" animals or simply could...
I found the source…
For the past few days, Ayla has been breaking out of the backyard and going to visit the neighbors. I wasn't quite sure how she was accomplishing it but I thought she was jumping over the small fence by the back door. But I was rather surprised that I never heard or...
The Great Houndini Strikes Again
As I type this, Ayla is running laps around the house. Normally she is not quite so wound up in the morning and I thought that since she got to play with a group of 6 dogs this morning that she might be a bit tired but apparently I was very wrong about that. On our...
Love that fro!
This is a video of a super cute Newfie who unfortunately has now crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I absolutely LOVE his Tina Turner hair. You'll have to click on the link to view it because YouTube's embedding links aren't working but maybe I can update it sometime...
A new skill for Ayla?
Here's something I would actually want Ayla to help me do...not "help" me shred toilet paper or paper towels...or to "dispose" of the cat food containers which should not actually require that they be eaten lol. On the CBS4 Denver website you'll find a short video...
What will they think of next?
I'm probably behind the curve on this one as I usually am on new, trendy products in the US but this one really amused me. I mean, sure, it's a pretty good idea and I really have to give the person some credit for coming up with the idea of charging people $300 for a...
