Jim and I were driving in the car on I-65 in Nashville the other day when we saw this: Yes, that's a dog riding on the back of a motorcycle! The worst part is the fact that we were going 55+ mph on a major highway that is filled with 4 lanes of fast-moving vehicles. … [Read more...]
In case you were wondering if dogs like snow or not, these dogs prove that snow can provide hours of fun! My favorite parts from the video: They 'doggie paddle' to propel themselves down the hill.

They stop to enjoy a good snowy backrub at times (similar to a doggie snow angel). They enjoy the downhill ride so much, that … [Read more...]

It has happened again!... Our dog recently discovered a rabbit hole in our backyard and his attention could not be diverted away from the bunnies until the last one left the nest. The rabbit hole was located along the edge of our landscaped flower beds. Mixed in between the daylillies and the weeds that have started to overtake our garden was a furry/grassy nest that the dog noticed was "wiggling". … [Read more...]

I don't usually put doggie bling -- like dog clothing & accessories -- on my dog. But we recently got a dog bandana as a hand-me-down from someone on Freecycle. And I have to be honest, I didn't realize just how practical doggie neckwear could be!

So on cool nights, it can provide … [Read more...]
