MEET CURLY Curly wasn’t planned. I did something I should never do – perused the Pet Finder website when I was bored. The next thing we knew Pete was on his way to the next county’s shelter to pick up an adorable little guy with whom I was smitten as soon as I saw his …

Thursday “Throwback” Thoughts – June 22, 2023 Edition: Dogs Part 9
Meet Pharaoh Pharaoh was the biggest min pin I’d ever seen. After seeing a post on Facebook about a minpin looking for a home, Pete and I decided to get him. He was about an hour to the north of us, in Wolverine, MI. When we got there, we learned his story: He’d been – …

Sometimes family relationships can be difficult. Some of these, in fact, can color every future relationship we will have. Though parent-child connections can, and often do, certainly fit this scenario, specifically I want to address the influence our fathers have on us as they lead us through childhood and into adulthood. My relationship with my …

Meet Doodlebug! I was scanning the petfinder site online one day, it was probably around 2002-2003ish, and saw a little minpin looking for a home. Found out the story: his family had dropped him off for boarding while they went on vacation, and never picked him up; the boarding kennel owner had had him at …

We are about halfway through the list after today, as Maisie is my 14th dog! And the next dog we got, while we still had Icy, was Chandler – aka Channie! Ever since Lady, I had always wanted another doberman pinscher. So as soon as Pete & I bought a house in Lansing – a …

This week I will be talking about IcyQ – aka Icy – aka Bing. And if you were sad about Casey losing Mick, you will LOVE this one! After Spanky died, Casey and I were dogless. We had a cat, Bruce, who thought he was a dog, but not the same. And I wanted it …

This week I’m going to talk about Mick. His is a shorter story, and I hope that it had a happy ending for him…it didn’t for me, I will always feel guilt when I think about Mick… When Casey was still a baby, her dad wanted to get a young dog that she could grow …

I know I have photos of Spanky Marie somewhere…real photos, not digital. I have boxes of pictures somewhere. But not where I can put my hands on them. Because she looked like the character that she was. When I’ve talked to people over the years about their dogs, most will compare all others to one …
