The boys had an exhausting day today between swimming and walks. Due to a number of factors, recently we’ve struggled to exercise them as much as we would like.  Since today was a balmy 84 degrees with low humidity, the … Continue reading →

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Gambit has a signature facial expression. He regularly lifts one side of his lip, and occasionally lifts both sides.  Sometimes it gets stuck like that.  This can happen many times per day. Some of the fosters, including Rusty and Nellie, … Continue reading →

Woooo!

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Unlike the human members of the household, Rusty loves mornings. When Rusty, Nellie and Gambit were separated at night, Rusty thought mornings were the best thing ever invented. Better than food, better than squirrels, better than other dogs. Every morning, … Continue reading →

Nellie needs a home

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

So once all the roadside puppies were adopted and things were back to normal, Nellie still didn’t have a home.   She was my dad’s dog and she was drawn to him, but she still headed home as a foster. … Continue reading →

The day of seven dogs

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast
