Mudding

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Couches for Breakfast

Last weekend stayed rainy and dreary until Sunday afternoon. The drizzle broke and it reached 70 degrees, so of course we had to head over to the lake to wear out the dogs a bit! It turned out to be … Continue reading →

While Nellie behaves wonderfully off leash, it’s rare for our boys to have the opportunity to run free. During the winter, Gambit and Rusty spent time at the dog park almost daily. In an area where it’s sunny and warm … Continue reading →

Splish splash

While Gambit has seen the ocean before, the rest of the dogs hadn’t. Actually, Nellie had only seen creeks, since it was too cool for the lakes when we fostered her. Nellie loved running around in the waves! She also … Continue reading →

Stubby little legs

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast
