Gambit’s early Christmas present at 8 weeks old was being surrendered to the shelter. He spent nearly three months of his puppyhood at OHS, including both of the times it’s snowed here during his life. Seriously, how did this precious … Continue reading →

Play Date

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Last weekend, Gambit had an exciting play date. We met up with Rusty at the dog park! He didn’t let me pet him when we arrived, which I expected since he hadn’t seen us in two months. He let my husband … Continue reading →

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Gambit and Eddie don’t just lounge around all day. They earn their keep, constantly on the lookout for pesky groundhogs, feral cats, and the occasional escaped dog. Recently, they’ve become very good at barking once then sitting quietly by the … Continue reading →

Cold weather blues

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Doggie Sports

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Couches for Breakfast

Our dogs don’t take part in real dog sports. I would love to do agility training with Gambit. It’s just not in the cards at the time being, and neither is pseudo-agility training since we don’t have a sufficient yard and … Continue reading →

Gambit was very fortunate that last winter was a very warm one. He had no undercoat and quite a few missing patches of fur, and spent the cool fall huddled under blankets and curled up in the tightest little ball. … Continue reading →
